Is It OK To List Nickname ?

My fiance has a Nickname that she, I and her friends use to speak to and about her. I listed it in the visa petition and the Bio under other names used followed by (Nickname). She has no official documents that show this name, yet I wouldn't want to accidently use it in front of a consular official and raise red flags.

In my opinion it would be better to leave the nickname out. If you happened to use it at the interview then the consular officier would ask and you could explain it is your nickname for her (they won't deny you because you have a nickname for her!). But there is no reason to put it on the forms, it just complicates things. This is a very important formal form, why make it so informal??

That being said, I'm sure it wont cause any problems for you. I just wouldn't have done it myself.

Only if those names were used on official legal documents.

"Other names Used" is for legal names like a maiden name, or prior married names.

Lots of people have nicknames. I wouldn't worry about it.

It's ok to list it like that but it isn't needed.

I am choosing to leave it in. One of the items I am using to show our continuing relationship is our emails and photos emailed over the past 4 years. Her email address has the nickname in it. Thanks
