What to do with a long Brazilian name...

People in Brazil and many other places in Latin America have very long names (for American standards). In my Brazilian passport, my maternal and paternal family names are listed as one surname, while my first and "middle" name are listed as given names.

For the I-129F and G-325A I intend to follow that, writing the two last names as one, since my passport says so.

My doubt is about my two given names as my first name. Should I group them into one as in my passport [1], or break the two into first and middle name [2]?

What do you think or have done in a similar case?

1. Given name (first name): Antonio Jose

OR

2. Given name (first name): Antonio

Middle name: Jose

My Brazilian husband was in the same situation. He used first and middle and then both family names as his surname.

Good luck!
