Hi All,
Any responses to this will be greatly appreciated. I am from south India and am facing the following issue:
My name in birth certificate is X.Y.Aaaaaa Bbbbbb
But my name in passport and I485 application is expanded as Surname: Xxxxxxxxxx Yyyyyyy Given Name: Zzzzzzz Aaaaaa Bbbbbb.
When my name got expanded during the passport application process, because of the space limitation in the passport application at that time, part of my expanded surname name (Zzzzzzz) became part of the given name.

"
Your application indicates your name as:
Surname: Xxxxxxxxxx Yyyyyyy Given Name: Zzzzzzz Aaaaaa Bbbbbb
Birth certificate submitted indicates the name of the child as:
Surname: X.Y.Aaaaaa Bbbbbb
If your correct name is not X.Y.Aaaaaa Bbbbbb submit a copy of your birth certificate showing your parentage, which has been registered with proper civil authorities of the country of your birth.
If you need to submit secondary evidence of your birth date and marriage, please note: Secondary Evidence will be evaluated for authenticity and credibility and may take the form of historical evidence issued at the time of documented event.Such evidence may include but not limited to medical records, school records and religious documents. Affidavits may also be accepted, provided that they are sworn to by persons who were alive at the time and have personal knowledge of the event to which they attest. "
I am thinking that I can provide School Records and Affidavits from Parents and also provide a letter explaining the South Indian traditional names. Will it help.
It will be great if anybody faced this situation reply to this on how they handled this.
Thanks,
