Just out of curiosity, does you fiance have a "Dd " like mine does. I am also concerned the D- will create some annoying glich along the way - I would think that the Consulate would be use to handling such issues, but .... I did not know what to put in the I-129 F so I just used "D"....

Maybe I should have posted this to the larger forum ???

Thanks for the reply. Sounds like the Han versus Hanh should be easily accomodated since Han is chinese Hope so...

I would get it corrected. Bich Hanh and Bich Han are 2 different names. They both can be female names, but they are not the same. Hanh is written in VN as Ha.nh (the dot goes below), and Han is Ha^n with the ^ on top of the A. They have different meanings as well. Hanh is Character or Quality, and Han is Happiness.

Her first name can be represented as Hanh or Bich Hanh. However, i would suggest you use Bich Hanh so the other 2 words can be Last and Middle. Otherwise, you would have 3 words. It is quite funny to have a middle name to be Thi Bich or Bich Thi.

And in any case, I believe the missing H would be a problem later.

As for the name Trinh, some families give a different name to sons or daughters for various reasons like nickname. But Trinh is a nice and formal girl's name. I would wonder why she uses Trinh instead of Hanh. It appears to me that there is a deeper reason than just a nickname. I suggest that you ask for an acceptable explanation. Trinh does not come across as a nickname.

However, a bigger concern is that she should not be using Trinh in corresponding with you because it would raise questions with the INS officer to "who or why" there are 2 different names here. They may not accept emails, letters, and cards with a different name to be hers. You would have to explain why and it might cause delays.

It's something to think about.

I agree with Tony... in your correspondence, make sure you stick with her "LEGAL" name. Unless you two have nicknames for each other, then again, you must be sure the Consulate understand that!

Bích Hạnh and Bích Hân are Totally two different names, meanings and everything... Must have it fix, or they will accusing you and her for stealing someone else's ID and case. My guy got denied because of this: in their letter, they use their nicknames, they didn't like that, thinking he tries to sponsor someone else to get the K-1 Visa. Just an FYI!

we put on our application she goes by that name

Whichever name you use on the application, you should be able to show that name on her legal ID card, household book, birth certificate, etc... and that should be the name you correspond with.

On this nickname note, my fiancee has an English nickname "Kate". She informally went by that name while she was working in the US (all her documents, visa, passport are in her legal Vietnamese name, though). I never address her as Kate, but she used to have an email address "katty_lastname@__.__" She lost the password to the mailbox, but a lot of our email evidence will bear that email address. She notes on G-325A, "other names used:" as "Kate, Katty (nicknames)". Is this sufficient? Thanks.

I hope so i dont know why they wouldnt accept it if they ask if theres any other names they go by and as far as emails go how would they know if it belongs to them unless their names in the adress.i hope they are smart enough to know that true relationships and k-1 arent perfect and people scams to come to usa are perfect they know just what to do to make everything perfect real people dont i feel deceptive now knowing everything i do will looked at i call her by her real name now and feel so fake about it and sending more emails now just cozz i know we need the evidence so i dont know really crazy

Every letter I ever wrote my wife (Mai Huong) while she was living in Vietnam was addressed to her as "Dear Nicole" and it caused no problems. In my letter of intent I started the letter off with a brief explanation- "I met Mai Huong (whom I refer to as Nicole) in...."

I think the fact that I called her by something less formal showed that we had a more personal relationship. Oddly, now that she is living is the U.S, we call her Mai or Huong. When I need her I say "Mai Huong Oi!!"
