Differences are minor. I don't think you'll face any problems.

Isn't Afaq an Arab name? If so, how is it that the saudi translators don't know how to pronounce it?

I guess the data entry operated suffered with a singular/plural confusion.

افق =Horizon
افاق =Horizons

Btw, I've never come across an Arab with this name.

Dear Friend

You need the agent to do the stamping for you family
its better to do this task through an agent because they know every thing.
just send any of your brother/friend/relative with documents and within 15 days you family stamping will be done Insha Allah.
