K-1 fiance official name

[maggiescratch 0]

I was wondering if anyone might know the answer to this...

In my fiance's country they are given the fathers surname and the mothers surname, hence they have two "last" names. If we apply for the K-1 visa, is he required to use both names or can he drop the mothers name? I could find nothing about this on the USCIS website. I would assume that the father's surname would be what they refer to as the "given" name, but he really has no "middle" name...just the two surnames. Was a head scratcher for me, so thought I would throw it out there.

Always use his name exactly as in his passport.

I used all 4 names with no problems so far. One thing to keep in mind is that adding all the names may work in your advantage. What it does is help the reviewing officials narrow down your fiance's precise identity when there are multiple persons with the same name. As is usually the case; give them all they ask for and more and you will have a better outcome.

My name is Hyena. No one bothers me with that (At least Madonna and Prince don't)!

Whatever you do, be consistent. Don't alter it on different documents, or there will be database problems.

Later on, if you want to change your name, you can go to a judge, you can always change your name.

My ex-wife legally changed her name from "Luisita Sarita Tan Sanchez (Herlastname)" to "Christa Jesusa (Mylastname)" (She was born on Dec. 25th).

I went through this process for the K3. You must use all the names because they are ALL his legal names. Also be sure to use all four on everything, even when he gets here. Some people here will automatically hyphenate the two last names, but I don't think that matters much. Good luck!
