Issue with no surname

[amitmaha]

Hi All,

 

Request you to please ascertain whether this needs to be corrected in the Green Card or not,

 

This is for my daughter who has not started pre school yet

 

Her name in Indian passport has the following format,

Given name - ABCD XYZ

Surname - (blank)

 

Social Security Card, EAD/AP (issued by USCIS), 485 application submitted, have the following format,

First name - ABCD

Last name - XYZ

 

Green Card has the following format,

Given name - 'no given name'

Surname - ABCD XYZ

 

It is opposite with respect to the passport, and different from all other documents.

 

However, I just noticed an article that says - As surname, family name or last name is significant, USCIS tends to follow the convention of always including a surname even if it is blank. An example is, if your name in the passport is either of the below

 

Case I

Given name - Vikas Nathan

Surname - (blank)

 

Case 2

Given name - (blank)

Surname - Vikas Nathan

 

In the both the above cases, the US Visa will look like

First Name - FNU

Last name - Vikas Nathan

 

 

I don't know if this rule applies to Green Card as well.  In 485 application, the name was clearly split into first name and last name, and EAD Card reflects that.  But green card has a format different from Passport and any other document.

 

I am not clear whether this needs to be checked for correction.

 

Does anyone have experience like this?

 

Thank you so much,

 

Amit
