Hi,
My wife's biographic page says in the "Given Name" Navneet Kaur and "Surname" filed is empty.
I read that for american visa there has to be something in the Surname field on the first page or they use Given name as Surname and write FNU in the field of Given name.
However, she did add my name in her passport to the second page and in that page her Surname was changed to Sahota. Now will she be able to avoid FNU (first name unkown) on her visa. Again on the biographic page "Given Name" says Navneet Kaur, Surname field above that is empty but on the second page her Surname has been changed to Sahota.
Thank you
sunny

What is her name on all application forms, documents? If those match with the 2nd page, it should be ok. But can she go to the passport office and add the surname on the biographic page?

thanks for replying. I have been using surname, that is on the second page now, when filling out form like I130. She did go to the passport office but I think they just added her married surname to the second page. So surname field in the biographic page still has nothing. however, her sister-in-law had same kind of thing on her passport and they printed the visa correctly. I guess i'm just freaking out at everything.

I think, you will be fine. It won't hurt to go to passport office again and try to add the surname. Does your wife only has first and last name (no middle name), I mean only two names instead of three names (first-middle-last) that is typical?

this is the response that i got back when i emailed one passport office in India:

Thank you for your inquiry.

If the passport has an observation made with surname and given name printed - then the visa will be printed in that way .She will not have FNU on the surname column.

So now that they changed my wife's surname on the second page is that the "observation made".
