babita Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 Recently my visa status changed from F1 to H1-B. In December I am planning to get the H1-B visa stamping done. For that process I started filling out the DS-160 form where I am having problem in the personal information. I have described the details of my concern: I don’t have a last name mentioned in my passport. My name on passport is Given Name: XYZ Surname: (Blank) In my F1- visa following naming convention was used: Given Name: FNU Last Name: XYZ My H1-B petition was filed by my employer and was approved by USCIS. On the H1-B petition application and I-797A following naming convention is used: Given Name: XYZ Surname: LNU I am little confused what naming convention should I exactly use in the personal information section of DS-160? a) First Name: XYZ Last Name: LNU or b) First Name: FNU Last Name: XYZ I will greatly appreciate your response. Thanks!! Quote Link to comment
