My name was misspelled and I filed for correction. It is still misspelled but IMDb claims it is corrected.

So you want to "o" changing to "u"?

Can you give us the reference number for the last submission you sent in? It might just be a matter of waiting and letting the processes do their (slow) work but with the ID staff can look into it.

Bruce, can you give the address of the page you wish to correct?

At this moment I only see this empty page, spelled Millar:

Hi Peter - there seem to be 2 IMDB pages with my biography. The more detailed page has my surname spelled : MILLER instead of MILLAR -
 http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0588006/bio 
Hope you will be able to put this right.
Your help in this matter is greatly appreciated!!

The question that needs to be answered first is : How was your name listed on screen for those Titles?

The Primary Name (the one at the top of the Name Page) is supposed to be the name under which the person has been listed most often, or the one they will be using going forward. The fact that they are all listed under Miller and none of them has an (as ...) attribute suggests that that is how they were listed on screen.

Because so many credits are listed this way with no attribute, IMDb may want some evidence that the on-screen credits were shown with the 'a'.
