don't be confused. your first name is your given name indeed.

since you are filling out DS-260, grab your passport and write all the names that are in the given names section on the DS-260. Then type in your family name in the corresponding field. The information on the DS-260 has to match your passport exactly.

There's no Given name section in my passport. There's a name section and it has my First name Fathers name Grandfathers name and family name all together

Okay, I didn't know that. My passport has a Given name and a separate Family name section. 

 

Put all of your names under except for your family name in the given names section on the DS-260.

is it how your application looks now? I stand corrected. You need to put all the names the way it listed in your international passport.  Put your first name, father's and grandfather's names under given names.  Actually the explanations in the application is clear. Do you have the same?

I think your right. Thank you. I'll keep you guys updated once we ask our lawyer so other people who might face the same problem know what to fill into Given names field.

Thank you everybody.

We called our lawyer in the U.S and he said that Given names field is First name + Father's name + Grandfather's name, and Surnames field is Last name or Family name.

It's supposed to be the exact same name on the passport.

Thanks to everybody who replied and tried to help, and I'm posting this to help anyone who might face the same problem I have faced.
