Default Misspelling of name on bank statement an issue?

I got a statement in English from my bank here in Sweden to send with the I-130, but just noticed that the teller added an extra 's' to our last names (-sson rather than -son). Do I need to have this changed? I've been looking through examples of RFEs and would like to avoid the simpler ones.

Thanks.

I would say it's close enough to be acceptable.

I would get a a statement that is correctly transliterated. I have seen different transliterations of the same name cause a problem.

It's a bank statement... it not a birth certificate! It's likely a non-issue.

If it will help you sleep better at night, get it changed.

No, it'd make me sleep better if I just send it on its way as it is! I'll give it a shot.
