Question about the name filling in new i-130/ds160 form

[JimmyVo 1]

Hello Everyone,

 

I'm new here.  I read  a lot of topic which are talking about Vietnamese name issue.

my wife name is: Nguyen Thi Minh Chau

should I fill in the I-130 form like this format:

Last Name: Nguyen

First Name: Chau Thi Minh

Middle Name: <empty >

 

I heard that people wrote in other thread that I need to follow her Vietnamese passport which is:

Last Name: Nguyen

First Name: Thi Minh Chau

Middle Name: <empty>

 

I'm concern if we follow the Vietnamese passport format. Her visa and i-94 will has the same format.  she will has issue with Greencard, SSN, etc.. later.

Any input, I appreciated.

If I were you, this is how I would format her name.

first: Chau

middle: thi minh 

last: Nguyen 

 

thi is always a middle name. Another way is Minh Chau thi Nguyen. But it might confuse people putting Chau as a middle name, but not always the case.

It has been a while but I don't remember there was a Middle Name field on the DS160. You are asked for First and Given names only. I remember putting my wife's First + Middle1 + Middle2 as Given name.

 

Again, this is the DS160 form.
