Where do you put the middle Initial when filling up the DS-160?

[Ravenna 7]

For example with a name like Ma. Christina C. Cruz. (where C is Cortez)

 

The form says surnames and then given names.

 

Will the Ma. Christina be put in given names and then the Cortez Cruz be in the surnames? I'm asking this because in the passport of my US citizen fiance he has his middle initial which is technically a surname included in his given names instead so I'd just like some clarification for this. The spanish naming convention vs the us version is confusing orz.

 

Oh! Also a follow up question, if you don't know the exact address of a parent or if you don't know who a parent is in general, what do  you put in that part of the form?

Are you asking about the "Immediate Relatives" section on the DS-160?  If so, enter your fiance's name following exactly how it's written on his US passport.

If you don't know who your parent is, enter/select "Do Not Know" in the relevant DS-160 fields.

I have usually put my middle name as part of my given name if only a first (given names) and surname boxes are provided. I do this for any forms where I want to show my full name. I haven't filled out a DS-160 however.

No, my fiances name is fine and I've filled it out for them but for everyone else as they have multiple names like the example (Ma. Christina C. Cruz) I'm not sure where I'd put it as in our documents and passports etc there's a spot for first name, middle initial and surname not just given name and surname like in the us form.

 

Also what if you know who the parent is but not where they are currently?

Include middle names in the field for Given Names.  Using your example --

 

Surname:  Cruz

Given Names:  Ma. Christina C.

If you are able to, enter "Unknown" or put the same answer that you did in the I-129F section for parent's residence.
