Question about Father's name in Passport and B1/B2 visa

[immig2015]

Hello, 

My father is citizen of India. He was issued a B1/B2 visa in India in Aug 2009. 

His name on his passport in Aug 2009: 
Surname : (blank) 
Given Name : AA BB CC 

His name on his B1/B2 visa in Aug 2009: 
Surname : CC 
Given Name : AA BB 

He has made five trips (duration : 2 months) between 2009-2017 without any issues. The visits are about visiting family and maybe a bit of travel. He renewed his passport in 2017 and his name appears the same as his previous passport. He is currently applying to renew his B1/B2 visa and the DS-160 form requires him to enter a surname. 

I see the following two options: 

Option #1: Copy all his names under "Given name" to his surname and say FNU for his given names in DS-160 as below 
Surname : AA BB CC 
Given Name : FNU 

Option #2: Use the order of names in his previous visa: 
Surname : CC 
Given Name : AA BB 

Questions: 
1) Which option is the correct one? 

2) If Option #1 is fine, will there be issues if he is sponsored for a green card in the future and will need a SSN etc? If there will be issues, is it okay to wait until that time to change the names in his passport? 

Thank you

Hello,

Can someone please reply?

Thank you

Use the same name as for the last visa. Why is FNU acceptable to you/him.?? Have him change the passport name appropriately and get a new one.

Hello pontevecchio,

Thank you for your helpful reply! He would retain the names as in his previous visa. His passport does not have a surname. Will this cause an issue for a trip to US in the coming months for a B1/B2? Once he is back in India, he will change the name in his passport. Would that work?
