DS-156 and no middle name in English on passport

[bobb 0]

My fiance received her new international passport in Nov 2008. It shows her Russian first and middle names in Russian on one line and directly below this it only shows her first name in English. The middle name is not shown in English.

Now I know she wants and expects to have a middle name when she comes here. Should her middle name in English be shown on the DS-156, even with it not shown in English in her passport, or should this information be pointed out at the time of interview.

You need to put her middle name on the DS-156k. She will have her birth certificate there to show that she does have a middle name.

I will assume you meant to say DS-156 - yes?

Hehe, yes. Sorry...all of the form numbers are starting to just become a big jumble in my head. DS-156, yes.

Why does she need her Russian middle name in America? Nobody will be able to pronounce it anyway. It is rarely used and she will be just fine with her first and last name.

She probally does not. But in my opinion I would use at least the middle initial on the forms.

Reason being is the number of people who have the same names. The middle name and SS number goes a long way of IDing people with common names.

My name will have hundreds with the same in the US. Even with the middle initial used you find people with the same name.

Age, SS #, Middle name, all help narrow the ID down.
