Hello guys,

 

My fiancée's patronymic name has a hypen(-) in it. On the DS-160, it doesn't let me add a hyphen. I am just scared because both of her passports (in Russia, there is a national passport and a travel passport), has her patronymic name with the (-) in it and the DS-160 has to be completely accurate. Her father's name is hyphenated. For example, I mean like this: Vladimir-Ivan. What am I supposed to do? The DS-160 does not let you hyphenate names. I am trying to add her patronymic name along with her first name under the field (given names, which is on the first page of the DS-160) but, it doesn't let me. Any help will be appreciated. 

 

Thanks!

Are there any instructions along with the DS160?

If not, I would write both names like this Vladimir Ivan, and then correct at the interview, explaining the situation.

The instructions do not let you add any hyphen. It only lets you add letters from A-Z. I just put a space because otherwise, it does not let you continue with the application because it gives you an error stating that you need to use letters from A-Z, no other characters are allowed.

Yeah, that was exactly my advice. It's not your fault so just try to correct it later!
