K-1 Question regarding name

[Nebullaone 0]

Hello everyone,

I am a US citizen and wanting to marry a Japanese citizen from Japan. We just started the process of filling out the forms for K-1 and getting all the things together (pictures, emails, etc). I have a question regarding my name. I have a legal name (of course), but I also have a Christian baptism name that many people call me by (including my fiance). My baptism name is on my emails, Skype, Facetime, etc.

So for example, let's same my legal name is Joe Doe and my baptism name is John Doe. Will it get confusing for the immigration people reviewing our forms when they see Joe Doe in the applications, passport, etc and then see John Doe in my emails, Skype calls, etc.?

I hope I am making sense. Thank you very much! :-)

If you've ever legally changed your name that would fall under "7. Other Names Used". If you've never legally changed your name, then you should not have to do so. Many people call Christopher by his last name, and it is common to see that in chats. Nicknames/petnames/shortened/alternate forms are not required there.

So unless you legally had your middle name changed to "Danger", you'll have to skip that question

Thank you very much for your response. No I've never legally changed my name, it's always been the same. Many people just called me by my baptism name and that's what appears in my emails and chats.

Thank you again :-)
