Please help me to fill out name on form DS-160, US visa application

Hi everybody. I am filling out form DS-160. I got stuck at name section. My fiancee's name is:

Last name: Nguyen

Middle name: Thi

First Name: Hong Loan

In my fiancee's Vietnam passport, her name is shown: Nguyen Thi Hong Loan

In form DS-160, there are only two places to fill out name: Surname and Given Name. There's no Middle Name place.

My fiancee want to keep her first name order (Hong Loan) unchanged in other immigrant papers when she arrives in USA. Please show me how to fill out her name correctly.

Thank you very much in advance for any help.

Given Names include any middle names.

So under given names, you would put: Hong Loan Thi

Surname would be: Nguyen

Just seconding Laurel's post. Your fiance's middle name is included as part of her given name, written in First Name Middle Name order. Good luck!

Can I put a hyphen between the two first name, like Hong-Loan, to make it unseparated and clear that it's a double first name? I am wondering if the hyphen will cause any problem since the passport doesn't show a hyphen.

Don't add a hyphen. If It matches the passport copy, then you shouldn't have any problems. Don't add anything that isn't there. You can explain if necessary at the interview.
