Greetings,

In the Philippines, our naming convention differs from that of the United States. Here, our middle name typically comprises our mother's maiden surname, as opposed to the American practice of utilizing a second first name or a middle name.

In my particular case, my name structure consists of two first names, followed by a middle name (which is my mother's maiden surname), and finally, my last name.

When completing the DS-160 form, should I consolidate all components of my name under "Given Name"?


For instance:

Surname: Lopez
Given Name: Daisy Jane Cruz


Thank you for your guidance.

Yea, the US doesn't really have an equivalent to Filipino middle names, so it all goes as given names.  Your example is correct.
