You should put all names that you use. Namely, make sure that any names that appear on any legal and other important documents are on the form-excluding typos-as they appear in those docs(which you should have already done during the USCIS state, on i-129f/g-325a, right?).

As far as the "Ñ" issue, no clue How does it appear on passport and/or English translations of your documents? I would go off that, but in anycase you will be ok with either probably- though that's just my guess.

I would put it as it appears exactly on your birth certificate and passport. My husband uses both his last names on every legal document, but still less formally goes by only his first one(father's). If your name is Ureña, then put Ureña.

Write your full legal name as it appears in your passport and ID. Also, write the tilde over the "N" by hand if necessary, but reflect exactly how your name is written. Always provide accurate information and do not begin to drop your second last name!

My husband's last name is also Ure~na. I did not include the tilde, it actually will just be an N on your documents.
