Hi all,

I’m in the process of filing an I-129F for my fiancée, who is from Nepal, and we're facing an issue with her father's name on official documents.

Her father is a refugee in Nepal and doesn’t have Nepali citizenship (there is no way for him to obtain it under current Nepali law). To help her get Nepali citizenship, they had to use the name John instead of his real name, Dan. His real name appears on his Refugee Card through which he can get a travel document.

The problem is that her Nepali citizenship certificate lists him as John, but that’s not his real name. We’re unsure which name to use on the I-129F.

A few questions:

1. Should we list John (as it matches her citizenship) or Dan (his name on the Refugee Card)?
If we decide to go with John, my concern is that once she becomes a U.S. citizen, how will we prove that John and Dan are the same person, especially since Nepal doesn’t provide resources or support for refugees in such situations?

If we decide to go with Dan, would that raise red flags with USCIS or during the consular process, which is the last thing we want?
I went in for a consultation with a lawyer, but they mentioned that we'd have to appoint them for the I-129F petition to guide us on the best approach for this dilemma. I’m unsure what to do next, as it feels like a big step and a potential expense. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Your post is a little confusing, you make it sound like she obtained Nepali citizenship fraudulently.

 

That could be an issue, does she have her orginal citizenship passport, is she a dual citizen, might be simple to go with that.
