Father's name is different on passport

[vidhi.0007]

Hello,

My father's name on Passport is Ashok Goel but his correct name is Ashok Kumar Goyal. The cause of this discrepancy is secondary school certificate that bears Ashok Goel.

As I would be applying for F1 visa, I need to show financial documents of my father. Most of such documents bear Ashok Kumar Goyal as his name.

In such a case, please advice which name to provide on DS 160 application.

He should get one affidavit prepared 'One and same person'. Sample at https://www.immihelp.com/sample-one-...s-immigration/

You should write his name everywhere according to whatever his legal name really is.
