Can I put a hyphen or connect double first name when filling out form I-485 Register Permanent Residence

[danthong 0]

Hello everybody,

I am filling out form I-485 for my fiancee to live permanently in the US. I have a confusion about filling out my fiancee's double-word first name on the form. My fiancee's first name has two words: Hong Loan with a space between, and it's shown like that on her birth certificate, passport and US visa.

To prevent people to use her double first name mixedly or separately, I am thinking about putting a hyphen between the two first names: Hong-Loan, or connect them together without space, like this: HongLoan. Which one is acceptable for combining first names and Is there any problem to USCIS when filling out her first name like that on I-485?

Thank you for any your feed backs.

We have same thing. My partner has a two-word first name.

 

We did it same way as we have the whole process and just put it as it normally is. For instance like your fiance, Hong Loan, we just put his like that. It seems to be fine when going through USCIS and such.

 

We have issues with it when putting it like in airline purchases  online because their systems tend to merge it into one word; but on the AOS forms and such we left it normal.

They should be kept as is, but just be observant so that it is not wrongfully entered as middle name anywhere throughout the process and in the future. Always make sure banks, SSA etc enters both names as first name.

Thank you for all your feedbacks. I should keep my fiancee's name as is.

Thread is moved from the K-1 Process forum to the AOS/Family-Based main forum -- OP is at that stage.
