confusion about the MIDDLE NAME

[la2012 0]

hey guys... our k1 petition was already approved by the USCIS last 29th of September.. still waiting for the Packet 3 from NVC .. i bet I will as the fiancee will receive it any time soon.. but i have one thing in mind that's bugging me.. my middle name..

instructions for this section:

Has your fiancé(e) ever used other names, including maiden name?

Your Answer:

Yes

Instructions for this section:

Other Names

Your Answer:

Other Names#1

Louise Ann Madrid Mateo

this is what was asked when we were starting with our I-129F application..

my late mom's maiden name was Madrid, but on my birth certificate it appears that my middle name is Madrid..

on the I-129F Petition for Alien Fiance form Part B. Information about your fiance (e)

it appears there that my last name is MATEO, first name LOUISE then middle name is ANN.. then on the names used (including maiden name)

it's put there LOUISE ANN MADRID MATEO.. which somehow makes sense for me to include that answer since i am using my late mom's maiden name anyway... (just that on my birth certificate and pp Madrid is what my middle name is)

but since I got confused and didn't think that MADRID is my middle name, I put ANN on the I-129F form as my middle name.

now when we received the Notification of Approval from USCIS my name appears as, MATEO, LOUISE A.

oh my gosh i hope you guys understand my explanation up there.. i hope i didn't confuse you all..

but, i know things will be fine right? we are just waiting for the packet 3 from NVC and will set my interview schedule soon, should i open this to the officer who will interview me? and tell them i really got confused about my middle name.. we were approved by the USCIS anyway so i bet when they did a background investigation on the petitioner and beneficiary they also included on checking on every details that we've indicated on the forms.. plus, they approved us on the petition so meaning things are fine .. right? and.. I have all the supporting and legal documents saying that my middle name is MADRID.

but please give me your point of view on this one.. and please tell me we will be fine thank you so much

I do not know how to correct this but in the Philippines, we use our mothers maiden name as our middle name and must always in use although it only needs to be spelled in full in all official documents. In the US, it's not like that. If your name is Mark Anthony, Mary Ann, Julie Ann- ANTHONY or ANN is the middle or second name. Some doesn't have a second name. Same thing in Australia.

That's why in the first name box you say LOUISE ANN middle name box MADRID last name box MATEO. I do not know how they got confused since we fill it out in separate boxes.

This has to be corrected because it will later create confusion and possibly legal problem. Once you get married, your name will be LOUISE ANN MATEO-"SMITH" or LOUISE ANN M. SMITH not LOUISE A. SMITH.

Western's middle names doesn't have to be mothers maiden name. It can be anything unlike here in the Philippines it always have to be your mothers maiden name and you and your siblings have all the same middle name. If your parents are unmarried- your middle name could be your fathers last name or your grandmothers middle name, as if you are your moms sister.
