HI..

I'm a bit confuse on what to enter on DS 261 under SURNAMES and GIVEN NAMES. If for instance my full name is CHAMCEY-ANN CHAKADEE CHENAKABUM. I entered my surname "CHENAKABUM" (married from my husband's surname); and given name"CHAMCEY- ANN".. (CHAKADEE as Maiden.NAME). Did I do it right? I'm a bit confused with the given example. below. Thank you guys. God bless

You just enter your name as listed in your passport.

First name will match the first name in your passport.

Surname will match the surname in your passport.

Maiden name will be the surname you had before you were married.

ROC from CR-1 visa (Green Card expiration date was Nov 24th 2016)

 

Link to the evidence I submitted. Be sure to send evidence spanning your entire marriage (especially for K-1) or as far back as you can. Just one or two bank statements will not cut it. I primarily focused on the two years of living here since I came in on a CR-1. If you don't have the fundamentals (i.e. joint accounts/policies), you can explain why in the covering letter. E.g. "While we do not have joint utilities, we both contribute to them from our joint bank account".

April 2018 - August 7th 2018: Tons of service requests, emails and now senator involvement to get my corrected green card back because what the heck, USCIS. Also some time in May I sent a letter to Potomac telling them I want to withdraw my I-90 since CSC were handling it.

First of all, you have to ensure that the name in the form will match that in your passport. In my case, I still need to have my name in the passport updated to my married name in order to avoid confusion in all travel documents.
