DS160 questions

[scubagirl 1]

Hello friends.

I have a couple of questions on the DS 160.

Hope you guys can fill me in with some answers.

1) Is it correct to fill out my USCIS receipt # for "Application Receipt number/ Petition number"?

The DS 160 form says "Your application receipt/petition number was given to you by the Department of Homeland Security’s United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) after you filed your petition application at a USCIS Service Center. The application receipt/petition number is 13 characters long and the first three characters are letters."so I'm assuming it is the USCIS receipt number but just wanna make sure since I have seen ppl here to put in the Case number instead.

2) Mothers full name and date of birth.

Will I need to fill in my mothers maiden name for her surname?? It does not clearly state whether or not it is the maiden name on the form. Any thoughts??

Thanks y'all.

1. I put my receipt number on the form and did not encounter any problem at all. Some others put their case numbers and still worked though.

2. I did not put any surname of my mother since she has a single name like mine.
