What name to use? FNU on SS card.

[bspnmi 1]

Hello VJ,

 

My fiancé arrived in USA with a K1 visa on Feb 05. I'm going to apply for her SSN tomorrow (Feb 17). She only has a first name as given name on the passport. On her K1 visa it has FNU as first name, and her name as last name. My question is when I fill out the SS-5 do I use her first name only and leave the last name blank or do I use the name as shown on the K1 visa FNU FirstName?

 

Thank you in advance.

 If the individual has a single name and the immigration document shows FNU (First Name Unknown) or other acronym indicating the person does not have a first name, process the SSN in the applicant’s single name.

Hello VJ,

 

My fiance came her on a K1 and only has one name. She got her K1 visa and SS card, they both have FNU Sandy on it as the name. When I'm adding her to my credit card and bank accout do I use FNU as first name and Sandy as last name or just use Sandy? 

Please let me know if you have any questions. 

 

Thank you

We have different names, mine is Bobby Singh and her name would be Sandy Kaur. We keep those name for life. However when she was born they forgot to add her last name and in India she didn't have any issue. Here they require a last name and used FNU = First Name Unknown, while using her first name as her new last name.

You could just use Sandy Kaur...Sandy as first and Kaur as last. Or she can aquire your last name and use it as her last, then make Sandy Kaur as first and middle...

 

FNU is going to cause you more problems because someone will think it's a name...I'd get rid of it.

Yes. Go back to SSA and demand that they comply with their own policy
