I got the letter, and it states that my name and the name on the diploma are not matching.
My name is Wazini Wazyani Wazakiri, and the name on my diploma is Wazini Wazyani son of Wazyani Wazakiri.In my native country,a person's paternal grandfather's name(in my case Wazakiri) automatically become his/her third name.Therefore when I came to this country as a refugee,I used Wazakiri as my third name.So I ended up having the little discripancies in my documents from the college and USA.Besides I can not get an evidence from my native country because of the refugee status I have.
Please advise me how I should proceed.
Thank you.[/u]

Write a letter to the ECFMG explaing exactly what you told me. Take the time to get the letter notarized. Make copies of your driver's license, passport, any official documentation that you have and supply that to the ECFMG. It might take a little time and trouble, but it might work.

Good luck
