Hi everyone !

I have started filling out form I-130 and since my husband is from Mexico and here they are accostumed to using 2 last names, the fathers last name and the mother`s last name. His two last names are RAMIREZ and CASTELLANOS.. in the form should I include both last names and separate them with a comma or just write them out as they are?

In Part C number 1 where it says family name for your relative/your husband, you should only fill RAMIREZ which is the father's last name.

Use both names as they are with a space between them, not a comma. My husband sometimes put 2 spaces between his two last names to make sure they knew it was 2 separate names and not run together. Never had a problem with any part of the immigration process. They see two last names often I would assume.

My husband has two last names as well and i put both with a space in between them, no comma. we didn't have any issues with USCIS, approved in August with no problems.

Also, please remember that his legal name is needed which is his entire name. it doesn't matter if in the states it's different, they want his entire information at hand. Best of luck!

:wub: God's timing is always perfect. . . :star:"Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!" (Luke 1:45) ^_^
