Q about FAQ: Latin Name

[GJen 9]

3.2.2)...How should a latin name (first name, fathers last name, mothers last name) be put on the G-325A and I-129F?

A..What others have done successfully is to use the first (fathers) last name on the forms. Then in the cover letter, state the full name including both last names and that you are only using the first (fathers) last name on the forms.

So write out his full name and then what? Write: "We're only using his fathers name on the form."??

Hi.

I used both of my Fiancees names on the G 3-25A form. Take this for example:

Family Name: Gonzalez Ramirez

First Name: Fabiola

Middle Name: Gloria

I would use his full name on each document so that you wont run into any issues of names not matching. Make sure you are consistent on all of your forms. Write his name exactly as its shown in his passport.

Also please take a look at my K1 petition package that I have on my blog. You may find it helpful when your put together your package. http://fianceek1visa.blogspot.com

I'd also like to add that I met my Fiancee on a language exchange site.. :-) I was practicing Spanish and she was practicing English.. I wish you well

Neat! I just wonder.. does that mean he'll have to get his name changed when he's here so he'll be Yohan Zamora and I'll be Jen Zamora instead of Jen Zamora de whatever? lol

My fiancé did this:

Family name: Rodriguez

First name: Ana

Middle name: Maria

He claryfied in the cover letter , after table of contents:

"Note: My fiancée's complete name is ANA RODRIGUEZ SOSA, but I am only using ANA MARIA RODRIGUEZ on the forms"

So if you did just first, middle, and father's last name on the first line, what did you put ont he line below?

My fiancée has 2 last names also. Just use the name as its printed on the Passport or any other official legal document.

Example:

First Name, Middle Name, 2 Last Names

You don't want to have any confusion.

Let's say L's name was Leonardo de Silva Gomes (it's not, but hey, we need an example).

On his passport, it has "de Silva Gomes" as his last name, and "Leonardo" as his given name. The K1 forms L filled out were like this. The I-129F forms and K1 fills I filled out had first name (Leonardo), middle name (de Silva), last name (Gomes)

We had no problems getting his K1 approved, even with the mismatched names on the forms.

His visa has his name as first name (Leonardo), middle name (empty), last name (de Silva Gomes).

When we do the AOS, we're going to do it as first name (Leonardo), middle name (de Silva), last name (Gomes), as he's not "Mr de Silva Gomes", he's "Mr Gomes".

Well now I'm even more confused because G has a middle name and all four of them are on his local ID/documents!!

Let's say his name is

Gabriel Manuel Flores Zambrano

(Gabriel: First or "Given Name" | Manuel: Middle Name | Flores: Father's Last Name | Zambrano: Mother's Maiden Name)

.. how would you suggest filling out his name?

Also, as far as AOS and everything... we would want his U.S. documents to just be "Gabriel Manuel Flores" and then I would take his last name and be "Jennifer Marie Flores" after getting married.

So how does what we do now affect things later??

[Danilu 11]

Upss sorry I just realized my mistake (this head of mine!). I should've typed:

"Note: My fiancée's complete name is ANA MARIA RODRIGUEZ SOSA, but I am only using ANA MARIA RODRIGUEZ on the forms"

Regarding question "All other names used"...for example, if he legally changed his name long time ago, he must need to write his old/previous name. If not, state NONE

It's a little different for us, because L is from Brazil and in Brazil, it's (Given) (Maternal) (Paternal), not the (Given) (Paternal) (Maternal) that is used elsewhere south of the border. He is "Mr Gomes", not "Mr de Silva"... though right now, he's "Mr de Silva Gomes".

I would just do it like this across the board:

First: Gabriel

Middle: Manuel

Last: Flores

Other names used: Gabriel Manuel Flores Zambrano

If he would prefer to be known by his maternal name, one way it could be done is:

First: Gabriel

Middle: Manuel Flores

Last: Zambrano

Other names used: N/A

That way, the name is consistent (which IS a plus) and would end up with what you want.

I'm going to do "first last name, first name, middle name" and then "first name, middle name, two last names" in the "other names used". That seems the best way to go considering 1) we'll drop off the second last name eventually, but 2) his 4 names are on his passport & birth certificate.
