Patronymic - whoever filed for a Russian spouse, help

[mrathell 0]

Here's the deal - I am from Russia and tomorrow my husband is filing the I-130 for me.

I have a patronymic name, and it is a formal name and all, and it is on my passport bio page,

however, it is on none of my English-language documents and paperwork.

So, technically, I have never used it outside Russia...

Do we have to fill it in on "Other Names Used"? What would happen if we don't? Are any explanations needed next to the name, or should we just write it as is?

Might not seem like too big of a deal, but who knows...

Thanks in advance for sharing

I had no idea what a patronymic name was, had to do some research. It's really cool!

My fiance's petronymic name should be something like Lorenzovich

My two cents is yes you should file it under other names used, since it is a legal name that is shown in an important doc such as your passport.
