Legal Name too long!

[.:~Matsurika~:. 0]

I'm working on my fiance visa and I've run into a small problem. It seems that my legal first name is too long to fit handwritten or typed into the little box that they provide. If I choose to remove one of the names and put it in the "other names used" section, should I continue using my shortened name on all other forms to prevent confusion or should I put my full legal name if it fits?

Thank You in advance!

I would recommend putting in your full legal name with all forms.If you write your shortened name, when you do get a visa and your last name is not like the one on your passport you will run into major problems.

Even if you have to hand write it, make it fit near enough to where it belongs, so that it is clear. If you've never USED another name then, in ADDITION, you could type your full legal name in the other names used space. Use this format. First Middle FAMILYNAME. Use ALL CAPS for only family names and country names.

Hi there,

If it doesn't fit then provide extra bond paper put Q.and no for example G-325a Q.no.then write your answer.put your whole name and signature at the very buttom of ur extra paper.that's what I did.instead of trying to fit it in small space if you write it wrong or trying to.shorten ur name you might have a problem in the future.

That is what I had to do for my fiance's paperwork. Don't shorten your name because it could potentially be a very big issue.
