Hello everyone
I have a slightly complex problem. I am a phd student on F1 status.I went to apply for a drivers license and they did not allow me to sit for the knowledge test because the names on my documents did not all match.
The problem is ....my passport has only my first name but no surname...eg, It is only SHERY. For some reason my father did not add my surname when he got my passport made 20 years back.
My F1 visa was issued in the name FNU SHERY. Also my social security card has the name FNU SHERY. (I assume FNU means first name unknown) .All my bank statements, utility bills etc have my full name. Eg. SHERY PATEL.
Now i do not know from where i should start making changes. Do i have to get a new passport made with my full name in it?? What about the full name on my visa?? HOw will i be able to change that? Please do advise!!!
Regards
