Hi have some questions regarding filing form I-130 for a parent living in Russia and I am wondering if anyone who has applied for someone in Russia has had similar experiences. In the online form, it often asks for middle names, but Russians do not have middle names so I left that blank. I am assuming this is NOT the place for adding the patronymic, is that correct? Since patronymics are not middle names. The concern lies in the fact that the birth cert and other Russian documents will show the full name including the patronymic and I don't want that to cause confusion. Let me know if anyone knows how to handle this! Thanks!
