I'm trying to be sure of how to write my husband's names on the forms.....because latinos generally have a name like Luis Rafael Garcia Lopez (not my husbands real name), If a form asks for the surname, I put both Garcia Lopez correct? And if it just asks for first name (like on the g325...asking for my husband's first name) do I put both Luis Rafael or just Luis and Rafael is considered a middle name?

I couldn't find an answer online so I am hoping someone can help my silly question! Thanks

08/17/2016 Applied in person by appointment I-130 at Guatemala Embassy (DCF)

08/30/2016 Notified by email of APPROVAL of I-130

09/12/2016 Notified by email we can begin DS-260

(We are dragging our feet getting all paperwork done, little by little, because we are not sure when we will actually leave for the US)

01/12/2017 Completed DS-260, had to notify embassy that it was complete

01/17/2017 Notified by email we could schedule Interview at the embassy

03/06/2017 Medical Exam Completed in 1 long day

I'd put

First : Luis

Middle: Rafael

Last: Garcia Lopez

For my fiancé, who is Peruvian, I put both Luis and Rafael as first names because he goes by his second name. Otherwise I would have done as I wrote above. Definitely put both last names in the surname category.

Check his passport, go by what's in there. Example:

Given name: Ana Maria

Family name: Souza da silva

filling forms:

First name: Ana Maria

Middle name: n/a or blank depending on forms instruction

Last name: Souza da silva
