Form I-130A Clarification

[NorthFlatworm495 1]

Having my spouse in Canada fill out Form I-130A currently and have one question

 

#1: In Part 1: Information About You (Spouse Beneficiary)

Your Full Name

3.a. Family Name (Last Name)

3.b. Given Name (First Name)

3.c. Middle Name

 

Assuming the name is Jane Doe of my spouse. On my spouse's Indian passport, her passport lists only a Given Name(s) which consists of her first and last name (Jane Doe). On her B1/B2 visa, it lists her Given Name as her first name (Jane) and Surname as last name (Doe). Not sure if there is any relevance of that information but for Form I-130A, what should I list for those 3 answers? Only Given Name? So, on 3.b., put Jane Doe and leave the other two fields blank or put anything there, like N/A?

 

The same question is asked later for my spouse's parents in Information About Parent 1/2 sections 10.a., 10.b., and 10.c. and 17.a., 17.b., and 17.c. Her parents passports are the same way so I'm guessing the answer to the above will apply as well to her parents.

 

Thank you.

Thank you.

If doe is her real last name then put doe as surname. B1/B2 doesn’t recognize first name only. Many people I know who has 1 name end up getting FNU ( first name unknown ) as their given name and their real given name as last name. 
 

my suggestion is : put doe as her Last name on the form to avoid that FNU apart on the EAD or GC. She need a last name by American standard

Sound like the answers are Doe, Jane, No Middle Name.  I-130a, I-130, and every time her name is asked for.
