[veronicaanalee 2]

HELLO FRIENDS:

MY DAD IS FILLING I-864 , AS MY COSPONSOR ,

QUESTION 1 :

Information on the principal immigrant, MY NAME IS VERONICA LU LU (TWO LAST NAME , AS MY BIRTH CERTICATE) , BUT HERER IN USA WHEN I WENT TO THE DMV THEY CHANGE IT FOR VERONICA LU-LU, BECAUSE THEY SAY THE COMPUTERS ONLY WORKS WITH ONLY ONE LAST NAME .

SO, ABOUT Information on the principal immigrant, HOW I SHOULD WRITE MY NAME

VERONICA LU LU AS MY BIRTH CERTIFICATE AND PASSPORT OR

VERONICA LU-LU AS ID CARD ( DMV DOCUMENT)

[El Cachalote 12]

You should write it as it is on your passport and birth certificate!

Tenga buen dia!!!

I think you (or the DMV) as consigning the last names. In the USA people have only ONE last name. So you can forget about your mother's LU or you can hyphen it LU-LU.

Please understand this: If someone asks you your your name and you write Veronica Lu Lu, it will mean that Veronica is you name, Lu is your middle name and Lu is you last name. Do what you want, just be consistent. You can always ask the DMV to correct their ID. But be careful what you write.

I have seen countless of children of immigrants whose parents "messed" up their names. Ex: Mom is Maria Perez, Dad is Juan Diaz. They name their child Baby Diaz Perez, like if we were in Latin America. One day they discover (usually many years down the road) that the Baby's last name is actually Perez (like the mother).

My advice: Choose one name and stick to it.
