visa_sct Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 My wife and daughter have "FNU problem" in their H4 visa. In their Indian passport the last name part is empty and the first name part has XXX YYY. Can we just put the XXX part in the first name and YYY part in the surname part in I-485 application ?. Will USCIS find this unacceptable ? Link to comment
Suprano Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 It may be acceptable. But, I suggest you correct your name in passport first if you consider it an error. How is your name written elsewhere such as DL, Social Security, work place, bank account etc? Originally posted by visa_sct: My wife and daughter have "FNU problem" in their H4 visa.

visa_sct Posted December 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Thanks for the reply. Corrections to passport might delay the applicatio :-) My wife's DL also shows her name as FNU Xxx Yyy. Link to comment
Belle Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 My name was spelled slightly differently in my passport vs all USCIS documents, and it has never been an issue. Good luck! Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Slightly differently is different from FNU. Link to comment
Bamaboy77 Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 On my last visa it was with FNU. However, applied 485 with the name correctly on the form and had no issues. Happy Holidays! Link to comment
visa_sct Posted December 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 To Bamaboy77. Thanks for the input. We will put XXX in first name part and YYY in the last name part in their I-485s. I hope there won't be an RFE for this. I will update when I get a response from USCIS. Link to comment
Belle Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Just an example that the USCIS is not uber-strict on the names. Link to comment

visa_sct Posted October 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Writing after 10 months to update the case. My wife and daughter got their GC. Even though we had specified the names as FNU (first name) Xx Yy (last name) in the 485 applications, USCIS spitted the name to Xy (first name) and Yy (last name) in the green card. In retrospect, Belle was right in saying that USCIS is not uber-strict on the names. Link to comment
