Name on K1-FTP

[thonati 49]

I have a question regarding the surname of my fiance.  On my USCIS petition, I put her mothers surname and fathers surname (Ortiz Hernandez).  However the K1-FTP does not list her mother's name anywhere.

 

We filled out the DS-160 and used her mother's name and her passport has her mother's name.  We started the visa application and used her mother's name as well.

 

1) Is this something I should be concerned about?  I know dual last names are common in the Philippines.

 

2) Is the visa appointment letter required to perform the medical exam at St Lukes?

Generally in the Philippines, if the parents were married, the child will have their mother's surname as a "middle name", which is rather different than the US concept of middle names. On her Philippine passport is the mothers surname listed under the field, "middle name"?  (a field which does not even exist on US passports)  Middle names are generally treated rather loosely in the US and ether get lumped in as given names or even omitted without much consequences.  Probably everything is fine but it might need explained at biometrics or at the pre interview document check if you used any nonstandard Philippine usage anywhere.  Her Philippine passport usage would take precedence.

Her First Name and Middle name as they appear on her passport should go in the "Given Names" section of the DS-160 and her Last Name as it appears on the passport should go in the "Family Name" section of the DS-160. This is how Jaycel filled hers out and was concerned and she asked about it when she went to the embassy for her interview and they told her that was the proper way to fill it out.

if you don't have the appointment letter, bring just the K1-FTP letter. SLEC may or may not make her sign a waiver saying they are not responsible for delays in the interview scheduling process that may require her to get another medical exam if she can't get an interview before her medical exam expires. Regardless, she will be allowed to take the medical exam.
