Foreign letters

[Flothera 0]

I'm sure this has been asked before, and I've come across the umlaut problem while searching, except I am still a little confused about the "Foreign name" option in the initial forms. My name does not use a significantly different alphabet as Russian or Chinese would, merely has Turkish letters such as "ş". It does say that it should go exactly as it is on the passport, so me and my fiance have filled it out as that, but I wanted to ask for other people's experiences. I've heard of cases where the name ended up completely botched, hoping that's rare though...

I think you might want to select the best translation of Turkish Sounds into an all Roman Alphabet. Then use the box where it asks for Fiance(e)s name if written in other than Roman Characters to write the correct Turkish spelling.

There are other things to consider such as Credit Cards and Travelers Checques if you use them or will use them. It is best to develop an all Roman spelled name and signature which is used for Credit Card signatures and Travelers Cheques. My fiancee is from a country where the native alphabet is not even close to the Roman characters. I am asking her to continually practice an all Roman signature to prepare her for life here in the USA.
