Hi All,

 

 

 

 

I had applied for immigration and submitted my Ds260 form.

 

 

In my earlier passport given name was "Karan Arora" and Surname was empty so in my DS260 form I had filled as

 

 

Given Name: "Karan Arora"

 

 

Surname: FNU

 

 

 

 

 

I got my passport updated (update to addresss) and it has the name as:

 

 

Given name: Karan

 

 

Surnames: Arora

 

 

 

 

 

Now will this be an issue as the names filled in DS260 and passport are different.

 

 

If so then what should I do now?

 

 

 

 

 

Would appreciate your inputs on this.

 

I am also going through the same process....I emailed to NVC with scanned copy of my updated passport to remove FNU from my records as I was advised by NVC to provide them with UPDATED PASSPORT with desired name configuration.

please let me know about your experience regarding the same as you might have completed the same procedure.

 Thanking you in anticipation.

You do not need any additional document for the same....you can do it by simply applying for reissue of passport reason bifurcation of name...I did it recently and it is very simple...when you get your new updated passport inform NVC by email and attach scanned copy of updated passport for reference.

  I did this because I was advised by NVC to provide them    Updated Passport with desired name,if we want to remove FNU.

What I did was I put Balbir as first name and Singh as surname in the form DS 260 because I did not want to put FNU as that is what will appear on his visa and all further documents. I just called NVC and stated this problem. The guy said that there will not be any problem. During the interview, his name will be pronounced as Balbir Singh and if asked, my dad can let the officer know what's the name issue on the passport. He said this is very common issue and happens all the time.

It will be better if you contact US Embassy also ( on phone and through E-mail as well ) where your interview is going to held because it is not the question of name pronouncement but it is related to what they are going to put as first and last name in your visa stamp...if they say it is OK then its alright otherwise proceed as per their direction. The email reply from them could work as evidence during interview.

I myself applied through IR-5 parents visa my Given Name in Passport is Kulwinder Singh while Surname field is blank....I filled DS-260 as Singh my last name and Kulwinder as my First name and there was no issue of FNU arised and I was issued visa with Singh as my last name and Kulwinder as my First name in Sep 2015...but during NVC processing of my son they started adressing FNU as his first name when Objection was raised with NVC they advised us to provide them updated copy of Passport with desired name congiguration..which we already did and send them by email on 22 Jul 2017 and awaiting their reply todate.

 

The only difference is that my case was expedited by NVC and all of my Financial and supporting documents submitted personally during consular interview at Delhi and there was no NVC processing was involved.

 Why the way how is your name is mentioned by NVC in welcome letter ? I mean are they mentioning FNU or not?
