ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The post discusses the issue of visa applications being rejected due to discrepancies caused by special characters in an applicant's name. A user shares their experience with a rejected DTV application because their husband's name, which contains an 'Ö', was represented as 'O' in the machine-readable section of the passport. They mention needing to certify that both spellings are the same for reapplication. Another comment highlights a similar problem where a middle name led to a visa rejection.
