Mother's Wrong Last Name: "Laxmi" Over "Lakshmi"
Dear Seniors,
I am struggling to make a decision and really need an advise. I am travelling to my home country in another 2 days, so need to take an informed decision.
Background: Indian nationality having 9+ years of experience, working in Dubai for over last 4.5 years.
Engineering from India (Punjab) followed by international MBA in 2012. Received ITA on 8th Feb'17.
My father passed away long back. Mother is a govt. employee serving Punjab Govt.
Question: My mother's name in all her documents is Shubh Lakshmi. The documents are her passport, our house, banks etc.
Her name in all my documents is Shubh Laxmi. By documents here I mean 10th, Birth Certificate, my passport etc.
Now I am only applying for my wife and mine PR in the application. But I need to provide information of all my blood related family members.
In the near future, I will definitely like my mom to shift with us. As her name is Lakshmi but I always did the mistake of using it "Laxmi", what should be done ?
I have gotten all my experience letters with the existing passport number. Also my aunt (Mom's sister) stays in Ontario. I don't know if I have gotten any points for her, but I have surely shown her in my application. Now I have to use my mother's passport showing her parents and in some of the document my aunt's parents so that both of them can be shown as sisters.
From what I gather, now I am left with two options:
A) Get a new passport with changed mother's name, get a new Birth Certificate translated in English with updated mother's name, get PCC for Dubai and India and apply from Dubai location only. Mention in LOE that all the skill letters were made before getting the new passport. The whole intention was to rectify mother's last name.
B) Make an affidavit stating both the names Shubh Lakshmi and Shubh Laxmi are the same person and I have been using it wrongly. In the PR application, using option Other's name as Lakshmi. After getting PR, maybe then apply new passport.
Please advise on this rare case, how should I proceed. Is there something to be worried about ?
I will really appreciate your reply on the above.
Thanks & Regards
Nishad
