I-130 Tokyo "spouse full name" discrepancy

[fiftytwo05g 0]

Hello, 

Firstly, I wanna thank everyone for helping out on the beginning of our visa journey, but we are still at complicated roadblocks ahead.

I will be petitioning my wife via consular process in Tokyo, and we are confused on where we should put my wife's name on part 4.

We are both foreign nationals in Japan (I'm US Citizen and wife is Chinese), our marriage certificate, Japanese ID, and residence registration all use her Maiden name and previous family name that is originally written on her passport. Both my children are us citizens with my last name.

We intend to have my wife's ID in the US as her first name and her family name as my last name. However, Japanese law is very picky about documenting foreigners taking up different names other than Japanese.

 

1.) Do we use my wife's first name and my last name as her family name on #4  part 4 as a formality, or would the USCIS look at this as a discrepancy because all of our supporting documents say otherwise. Or would we have to put that on #5 as other names used. I know we will be facing this same situation on the ds260.

 

2.) Also on #57, it's instructing us to put her name if her Native language does not use romanized letters, but her passport has her name in both Chinese and romanized spelling. Trick question cause chinese can use letters in very special uses. But generally it doesn't. 

 

 

Again, big thanks to the community for the support!

1. You can put whatever you want but the visa will be issued in the passport name. Unless that is changed post marriage, the green card will come in immigrant visa/current passport name. 

 

2. It can be listed in both Chinese and romanized transliteration - not a problem.
