Name problem???????????/

Hello friends,
Let me share my problem(I am not sure if it is a problem) regarding my name with you friends. I would like you to please give your precious opinions. I am not giving my real name, so everything is totally fictional. So here it is. Please bear with my naming convention, in our part of the world everything is strange.

<<<<< DV-2013 Application DATA also on the 1st NL page>>>>>

LastName: No Last Name
MiddleName: No Middle Name
FirstName: Adam Craig

<<<<< DATA on my forms sent to KCC>>>>>

LastName: No Last Name
MiddleName: No Middle Name
FirstName: Adam Craig

Father's LastName: No Last Name
Father's MiddleName: No Middle Name
Father's FirstName: Christopher Ricky

<<<<< DATA on my passport>>>>>

My Passport shows my FullName as "Adam Craig S/O Christopher Ricky"

While S/O = Son of

<<<<< DATA on other documents like education, birth certificate, police certificat etc>>>>>

Name: Adam Craig
Fathers' Name: Christopher Ricky

In our part of the world, we don't have last names, we are known by father name. In the DV2013 online application, it gave me the option to ignore the lastname and middlename, so I ignored them because I don't have middle and lastname. It also didn't require my father's name, so I couldn't mention it there. But I did mention my father's name on KCC forms.
So, do you guys think I could face some sort of problems, because my passport mentions both my name and my father's name?

Thanks, and best of luck to everybody!
 
Bro, I also took TOEFL, and on the score report my name reads as "Adam Craig Christopher Ricky".
FirstName = Adam Craig
LastName = Christopher Ricky
FullName = Adam Craig Christopher Ricky

It doesn't have that S/O in between. Would it create a problem if I show my TOEFL score report to the consular? Bro, as I said we have strange naming conventions. While I was registering for the TOEFL ibt Test, I was required to put something in that LastName field. Since I didn't have a lastname, so I put father's name there. So, would it create a problem at the time of the interiew. Your opinion?

Thanks!

Name Change after marriage

Hi,

I got married in 2007 in India, and have a marriage certificate for the same. I have changed my name in my Indian passport and have a valid Driver's License with my new name on it. When I apply for my Green Card, do I need any document for the name change other than my valid Indian passport?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance...

Happy Holidays!
 
Yes you need to carry the official paperwork stating the name change. Or else anyone would be able to steal passports with different names and put their picture on it and claim their name was changed. When dealing with anything official like this, you need to have proof of legal name change.
