How does someone complying with their DTV requirements adversely affect anyone else?

@Luit ****************

No DTV holder has been refused entry. There is nothing to suggest that they ever will be. Why attempt to cause unease? What are these visa rules with which you say people are likely no longer complying with?

@Anna ********

Not rubbish. You appear to be arguing to suit yourself. There are reports of flight booking names being amended (slight corrections) at airports either free or for a nominal fee. Others have posted they were worried their middle name was missing but upon checking-in nothing was mentioned. Only government departments insist it’s the applicants responsibility to ensure their own systems are working correctly. Does it please you when other people lose out unnecessarily?

@Anna ********

That makes it worse. Fortunately, airline check-in (for example) are reportedly more customer focused. Middle names missing or reversed with surnames etc appear to be accepted. They understand the reality of different nationalities formats and the quirks of airline/travel agent booking systems. Plus, it’s harder to be tough when you’re face to face with a person. Easy to be awkward when they’re on the other end of an email.

They had the cheek to inform you that because their OCR software can’t read a hyphen you lost your application fee? I suspect no one agreeing this is correct has lost $ USD in similar circumstances. No way would they accept that.
