NY NAT project. The petitioner's name is Clara Kohlmuller but she entered the
in Indexing
U.S. using the name Klara Kohlmueller. ( see line (6). Should I include the variations of spelling using Or? Or should I just use the name given at the top of the petition?

I would follow the General Guideline which states:
If alias names were included on a document, or if an individual's name was listed with various spellings on the document, include all variants, separating each with the word Or. For example, if a name was written as "Georgios (George), George Broski, George Browzowski, or George Brzozowski," index the name fields as follows:
- Given Name: Georgios Or George
- Surname: Broski Or Browzowski Or Brzozowski
Hope this helps🙂
