Hi,

As you know in Ukraine we do not have a middle names like they do in the States. There we have a Patronymic name which is just the name of your father. My fiance and I will be going through the K1 process and I have already filled out some some of the paperwork. In her Ukrainian travel passport she only has her First and Last name, no other names.

My question is this:

Did you use your middle name during the K1 process? (in the G-325A, I-129F. etc)

Would there be problems if we didn't use her middle name in the forms?

Thank you!

How can you use a name you do not have?

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

If a person does not have a middle name, just put dashes on the fields on the forms that ask for it.

Use the names as shown on the passport. The Embassy deals with this all the time and it should be a non-issue.

Put it as in the international passport, so no patronymic. Patronymic is not the same as middle name in the US. We did not put it on any forms. When we went in for the interview in the embassy, the Ukrainian person collecting the forms told us to put patronymic into the middle name field, but the visa did not have the patronymic anyway (this was before they switched to using online-submitted DS-260). So you can just ignore the patronymic and nobody will care.

I know some people use their patronimic name as a middle name and I haven't heard about problems they had with it. Other people use only first and last names. I used only first and last name in K-1 process, but then applying for GreenCard I added my patronimic name as a middle name in application. Didn't have any problems either, and my GreenCard states my patronimic name as a middle name. My experience is with Russian Embassy, but I don't think it's any different in Ukraine.
