Booking tickets to the US from India with a single name
I am planning to visit the US on an F1 visa and need to book tickets for the same. My passport (and all my other documents) only have a single name. My name on my (Indian) passport appears as follows:
- Surname:______
- Given Name: MYNAME
After some research, I found that for such a case, the F1 visa that is issued will have my name mentioned as:
- Surname: MYNAME
- Given Name: FNU
My question is, what would be the correct way to fill in my name when booking my ticket?
