Please help me in the below questions, ur help is much required as am planning to take decisions in a couple of weeks

My name in my Indian passport is as below

Given Name : Brijesh Roy

Surname :

as surname was empty, when I got my L1 visa it was given in the name Brijesh Roy FNU, as they have used my first name as the last name and put FNU as the first name

I got my SSN with the below details

First Name : Brijesh

Last Name : Roy

I am currently in US and planning to apply for H1B

My passport is expiring on Aug 2013 and am planning to apply for a new passport from Newyork in Aug 2012(as we can do it one year ahead of its expiry) I would like to correct the name issue in my passport and make it as below when I apply for a new passport so that it matches with name in SSN

Given Name : Brijesh

Surname : Roy

Meanwhile as am planning to apply for H1B visa this month with my current passport details, and go for the new passport in Aug 2012 as said earlier, So as my new passport will have my last name in correct place where as the current passport with which the H1B visa petition is applied won’t have it ,

1 Will it create an issue during H1 B visa approval or stamping

2 Will the difference in name between current passport & visa(L1) and new passport and visa(H1B) cause issues in immigration when i travel in later period
