Name ordering

[Eric & Hang 0]

Hello all,

We're both excited and anxious as our K1 case for HCMC is proceeding along (we've received the packet 3 letter), but a question has recently come up regarding the ordering of her name. If it is written in Vietnamese as "<Family> Thi Thu Hang", should it be shown shown on the letter as "<Family>, Hang Thu Thi" or "<Family>, Hang Thi Thu"? We want make sure it is right now to avoid any issues later.

Thanks,

Eric

Family name Thi

Middle Thu

First Hang...

it all depends on how it was submitted on the forms as well as how they entered it into the system.. Her documents will show the correct order if it is wrong and can be addressed before the visa is issued... When you respond to pkt 3 be sure that the names are in the correct slots on the DS230...

I'm wondering why you've thi as the family name, because THI is Designation for Females only

Thanks for the replies & sorry if there was some confusion. The family name is Ngo, so we expected "Ngo Thi Thu Hang" to become "Ngo, Hang Thu Thi", but perhaps it depends on how we completed the original form? We had listed "Thu Thi" for the middle name on Part B of the I-129F (and the letter from the NVC showed it as "Hang Thu Thi Ngo").

For example: My daughter's name is Nguyen Ngoc My Hang (writing in Vietnamese)

Nguyen : Last name

Ngoc My: Middle Name

Hang : First name

Then it be showed on the letter as: Nguyen, Hang Ngoc My

So yours will be the same as mine. It should be showed as: "Family", Hang Thi Thu

You shouldn't change the order of the middle name. Just see it as one word "Thi Thu"...We just switch between family name and first name.

Like I said above. My daughter's name is Nguyen Ngoc My Hang. ("Thi" was used for old fashion). Nowadays, I think nobody's using "Thi". The parents now named their children using 4 words or 3 words without "Thi" (Maybe a few of them are still using "Thi")

Old fashion?

Did you not read my earlier post why there is a THI in the first place.

When was the last time you went to Vietnam? Everyone that I knew who were female had Thi in there name.

Thi stand for women, you can omit the THI.

Thi stand for women, you can omit the THI.

If THI is on her passport, ID card and BC - I would not omit it.

To the OP - many do not use THI! (and I have been to VN recently - 3 months last year)!

My wife uses it and its on all her ID but many of her friends do not have the THI in their name nor on their ID. Just because your female does not mandate that THI be part of your legally registered name.

Last - Nguyen

Middle - Thi Thanh

First - Doan

I'm sorry, I saw you quoted my post, so I thought you asked me about my daughter's name (Why I forgot "thi" for my daughter's name) . I misunderstood, or did you quote it wrong?

The people in Vietnam, they started naming their children using 3 or 4 words without using "Thi" a few years ago (because "Thi" sound so "Se'n" maybe?). It's hard to find "the kids" using "Thi" as their middle names recently. (I don't mention the people that you know, because they weren't born last few years ago) . You can ask your relative who live in Vietnam what they're gonna name their children if they have kid? I'm sure they're gonna name their children without "Thi"

My wife has 4 words for her name. First First, Middle, and Last name. It get very confusing when she get her Driver license, SSN, my employee insurance, and etc.

It's better to put an underline, or a dash between her middle name. Like Thi_Thu or Thi-Thu. This will better to identify First, Middle_Middle, and Last name.
