My spouse has NO LAST NAME, NO SURNAME, NO NO MIDLE NAME since her birth, she has just her first name in all her documents like Passport, Educational Certificate, birth certificate, Marriage Certificate etc....

when I fill her i130 form online what do I need to write in the box of "Last Name"?

if I write "No LAST NAME" in the Last Name box will USCIS reject the petition?

please advise, how should I proceed with this?

Thank a lot in advance.

Does her family have a name? In some countries, a person's first name is tagged along with their entire father's name. I just noticed your country is Pakistan. My family is from there as well, and typically their NICOP ids, etc, all have father's name on the ID. From memory, I believe that translates into being a person's last name there.

her family have last name. but she has only 1st name name in each and every documents even in passport too. if we go into the name change process, it will be a mess. if i put her last name as "last name unknown" or "FNU" does it going to work?

Sorry after the thread was merged, it seems my Follow was cleared, so I did not see your comment.

 

Yes that is what you should do.

if i do so, system will indicate the error for the "first name"  Box"

If so, enter FNU for the first name. But hopefully not.

 

Try.

Common in my country. I will leave it blank to avoid any issue following the birth certificate / passport. So many variation “no name given” “FNU” etc. for example : friend did consular processing, her name in passport just 1 name. But on the immigrant visa it stated “BLABLA FNU”, US visa can’t have single name. So it’s automatic added that FNU. already there’s discrepancy. And when she made state ID, it become “BLABLA No name given” literally that’s on her state ID

 

are u guys doing AOS or Consular processing ? If AOS and u already got married, my suggestion add ur last name on her AOS application. The marriage certificate will be the legal document for that. I helped couple of people with same issue during AOS, easier in the future for them to do anything in the US with last name. So now at least 3 friends without last name now all their documentation in the US had last name on it and only their home country passport is different “ one name “  and file I-130 paper instead so u can leave the surname blank if it’s consular processing

Remember the Consulate will be very familiar with local naming practices

Thank you for your valuable reply.
 the system is not accepting blank in the last name box. at the end of application it says you have an error to fix. and the error it shows for thelast name.
