Filling out forms in my fiance's native alphabet... (Danish)

[Shelbee 4]

I am finishing up my I-29 petition for my Danish fiance and am just wondering whether I should be using his native alphabet when recording his name on the G-325A and the I-29F forms or to sub it for roman characters. His last name includes the Danish letter ø (Mønster). Additionally, there are city names for his residence in the last five years (question from the G-325a) that include foreign characters as well (Hårup and Hjortshøj). But please note his current address uses only roman characters.

When he has to write his last name in roman characters he subs the ø for oe (Moenster). If we cannot use the ø, should we just be spelling it Monster instead of adding that extra e? Not entirely sure why he does it that way, I suppose for pronunciation purposes.

Has anyone else ran into the same problems? Any advice you may have is greatly appreciated!

ALSO, if I do change his name to Monster on the forms, for the letter of intent should he stick to using roman characters for his name to keep it the same?

Go to the Scandinavia thread. There are some Danish people there that may be able to offer good insight.

Fill them all out in English....there's a place on the 129f to write his name in his native language.

Use Roman letters for name and address. There is a place to put the name and address as written in the native language and that is the only place I used cyrillic.

Thank you! After some more research I decided that is best. I spelled it Monster on all of the forms and then wrote the appropriate spelling in the specified field.

Actually it should be Moenster.

ø is oe when transcribed

æ is ae

å is aa

Hot damn! This is a pain in my #### but THANK YOU so much for letting me know!

Yeah, it's only his name that needs spelled out in the "other names used" or "name in native language" or whichever the box is called. I know - both my middle and last name, town and parents name all have those 3 letters in them. Including former jobs and adresses. Your fiance is in for a thrill when he has to submit paperwork for the embassy

Good luck. Don't fret too much over it. If anything, ask how his name is spelled on the bottom part of the bio page in the passport. That's usually how it's supposed to be on all forms you submit.

When he has to get SSN in the US after moving, they'll use the same system and he has to fill out a form, replacing ø with oe.

Marvelous! The petition has been submitted and the fiancé has been thoroughly warned about his upcoming paperwork and how Americans are going to call us Mr. and Mrs. Monster no matter how it is spelled

Hahahahaha! What a great last name after it being americanized

My middle name ends with ø - and also has the wonderful Y sound that apparently is hard to pronounce for americans. My husband still can't say the middle name no matter how often he tries.
