What name order do you use on the visa documents /RFE for your wife/fiance? Do you use the Asian order of <Last name> <middle name> <First name> or the Western order<First name> <middle name> <Last name>?

Western order for any documents submitted to the US government. Forget about the "first name" and "last name" labels because they don't really apply. Asian order is:

<family name> <middle name(s)> <given name>

Western order is:

<given name> <middle name(s)> <family name>

12/15/2009 - K1 Visa Interview - APPROVED!

12/29/2009 - Married in Oakland, CA!

08/18/2010 - AOS Interview - APPROVED!

05/01/2013 - Removal of Conditions - APPROVED!

Very true.

Same applies to the way you write down dates.
