I have always been very confused about how to write out my full name to fit the first, middle and last name category. I have both a Chinese name and an English name so they should both be considered my first name.
In the US, names are written out as First name followed by Last name, however in my birth country, my last name goes first. For example if my last name is Lee, and my chinese name is Jiaxin and my english name is Nicole, it is written in my passport and deed poll as Lee Jiaxin, Nicole. Both Jiaxin and Nicole as my first names.
However, on my Marriage certificate, my name is written out as Nicole Jiaxin Lee . Now I am confused as to whether or not I should fill in my name for my AOS paperwork as Nicole, Jiaxin OR as Jiaxin, Nicole. At the clerks office, I thought that since they were both my first names it should not matter which name came first but now I am TERRIFIED that this might cause my AOS application to be denied!!!
I just went for my immigration physicals and I have also filled in my name there as Nicole, Jiaxin (Under first name).
What should I do?
