  • Urgent: No last name, applying for L1 visa

    Hi,
    Need some really urgent advise on this. I am applying for the L1 Work visa, however I have just a single name. since its mandatory to have a last name for US applications, can you please help me on the following:
    1. How should I be applying for the visa? someone suggested "FNU ZZZ" where YYYY is my first name which would be filled in place of the last name. Is that the right way to do so?
    2. Should I be using the same name to apply for bank accounts, credit cards, SSN, lease etc?

    Can anyone who has had such an experience please help me out or direct me to some set of policies I could look at?

    Thanks a ton!

    1 is the right way to do it, but it does create problems in SSN, DL etc. Is there any other name such as Kumar, Kumari or any other part of the first name that can be used as last name? If possible get your passport changed so that you have a last name.
    This is my opinion and not legal advice.

      Thanks! But I dont have the time to update my passport. Have just a month's notice from the company to move to US. Plus changing one document like the passport also means updating ALL other legal docs in India like the DL, Pan card, Aadhar card etc...

        If it is not possible, be prepared for delays in DL etc.
