A doubt about surnames in DV Lottery and DS-260

Hi guys, i know this isn't formal or legal advice

Of this is the thing: in case I was lucky enough to win, and later filling the DS-260, i have a little problem with my mom's surname which is my second surname, the one in her birth certificate and ID end with the letter S, in my birth certificate, it end with "Z", here it's a common mistake because they're two surnames which are basically the same but only changes is that letter, both pronounce the same so here it doesn't cause trouble in legal situations, but I don't know if that may be a problem with the DS-260 and the interview.

I mean i can correct that in my birth certificate but that mean change my passport (yes, in my passport figure my both surnames) and all my personal documents, which means a new passport number different from what I used to apply in the first time.

The other option is to do nothing, fill the form and tell them that detail in the migration interview, i really don't know what to do but I want to be prepared, what do you think?

Fix my second surname now or wait to see what they think about, in the remote case I win of course

N-400 form {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} message

A few questions: I filed my N400 naturalization on March 23, 2020. Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...

NVC Case FE Review note

Hi everyone, my family and I are under the F3 category and we just received a notice from NVC that our documents have been approved and that we are Documentarily Qualified. My only concern is this message that we received today in addition to the acceptance: ​ " [Name of petitioner] does not meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor the intending immigrants for this case. The consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement at the time of the interview. For more information, please visit https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p . To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 for a joint sponsor may be submitted." ​ We already have a petitioner and a household sponsor (the household sponsor's income is above the required level), but still unsure why we received this. Has anyone else received this message? All of our documents say "Approved" on NVC. Does this mean we have to find another sponsor? Can we show the consular officer our ...
