G-325A (All Other Names Used box)

[Yanyan 3]

Hello everyone,

I used my nicknames on my emails like Jheng and Jing (on different email addresses) and that's how my fiance calls me.

I just wanna ask about the form G-325A "All Other Names Used question".

Do I need to write my nicknames on that question?

I am confused if I will write or not because it shows on my emails,

but I didn't use those names on legal papers just my letters and my emails.

Hope anybody can help me. Thank you and God bless!

Have you used other names officially and does it show in any document used to represent yourself? An example of other names: full maiden name, names that appear in school records/birth certificate/passport if these names are other than what is used in your official records. Aliases can also qualify as other names used. I do not think a nickname is relevant to this item on the form unless is appears in your official papers or is used officially to represent yourself in public.

By "other names used", that want to know possible official name changes of the past, like because of a previous wedding, or simply because someone did not like their name and they had it legally and officially changed.
They want to be able to have a full background check of the people involved and this is why they need all names someone have used in the past.

They don't need the nicknames, we all use.

No, I never used any names on legal papers. I just used my nicknames on informal letters, emails and chatting.

Thank you for your replies! Really appreciated.

my fiance goes by his middle name, and even though it's not a legal change, we put it in that box anyway. It's what you'll see on our correspondence, NOT his legal first name. I went with the "better safe than sorry" mindset.

No names used doesn't refer to email names or even little nicknames between two people... if that were the case everyone would have to do an AKA for "honey, sweetie.. etc."
