i believe your name is irrelevant (sorry, not like that

) so long as the passport # and information is correct - creation date, expiry etc.

Dear cmdlei,

As senior(legacy) mentioned that unless ur passport number and expiry dates and all that are ok, no worries for minor spelling mistake.

This spelling mistake happens as the visa application is filled in both (English and Arabic) language, the english section they feel by seeing the spelling in passport but in Arabic, they write by there own and they write in the way the speak(accent) for example if name of any person is Pratap Pillay some Arabic may pronounce it as BAratab Billaee LOL NOT ALL ARABIC PERSONS HAS THIS ACCENT PROBLEM

About they send your visa back: There might be some other mistake also!

problem is when youre dealing with govt, there is no fixed time for documents to be processed; could take a week, could take a month, depends entirely on how the processing officer is feeling at the time.

just enjoy this time with your friends and family, dont worry about how long it takes, as you know, a watched pot never boils.

exactly

and please don't call me Sir

true visas now do have expiry dates - which i am sure they are aware of, so u need not worry as they will be every bit as eager to get you onboard as you are to go there.

have faith

Do not travel until the name is correct!!!

I had a similar problem, where my name was already present in the computer from a previous job. But I was already in the country.

They requested from me to go to my embassy producing a letter that "you are you"... or better said that the holder of the passport is the true person carrying the name in the passport.
That will trigger long faces at the counter of your embassy and, as in my case, eye rolling of the ambassador itself.
The embassy may give you then a letter stating your passport is authentic... but this letter will not carry the phrase the Kuwaiti immigration is looking for, since they simply cannot give that legal statement.
That will set you back to square 0.
In my case the staff manager, who was by self working in the labour dept. before had a "convincing talk" with someone.
But it seemed to be just a nightmare until that moment.

that was it for me... but in your case you will stuck on the airport or just run out of time.

Absolutly correct. In my case the same with name. Only passport number must be right. I had no problems.
