I haven't put my middle name on my DS-160 since it wasn't asked, and I've read somewhere that I need to put it there if it was on the passport. Should I redo the ds-160?

Middle name is part of GIVEN NAME

Visa chase and citizenship.. DONE!

But that middle name is my mother's maiden name. Shouldn't I put it in the surname?

Nope. Only your last name is your surname. Your maiden name is entered with your first name.

Visa chase and citizenship.. DONE!

Redo the DS-160 with the proper naming nomenclature; First name, Middle name and Last name (surname). Print off a confirmation page with barcode and present only the new one at the interview.

Hi Greenbaum,

Just want to ask. For my DS160 I only put my surname in the last name and my given name in first name. I didnt include my middle name because that one was included in the section for middle name. Do I also have to redo my DS160? Hope you can help! Thank you!

You can redo it to make it correct. Just follow the directions in your quote that I instructed @throwaway

You do not need to complete a new DS-160. When at the interview ask the CO to update your DS-160 to include your middle name with your give name. Not a big deal.

Not necessary, easier to ask the CO to make the update. ;)

Do you mean middle name?  If so, your middle name should be part of your given name on your DS-160.

Hi @Ate yes this is my problem I havent included my middle name in mya last name. Will there be a problem during my interview? Or is it okay to tell that CO about this? 

 

Tell the CO to add your middle name to your DS-160.  Don't worry.  I'm sure you're not the first visa applicant who has asked them to do this kind of update.

@Ate thank you. I think I’ll have to risk this mistake and you’re right maybe there were applicants who commited the same mistake as mine. Praying to get my visa approved. Thank you again
