My old Egyptian passport with a valid USA visa has my father's name as Fekry. My new valid passport has it spelled Fikry. Will this be a problem when entering the US?



Best Answer

No it will not.

Your name should be spelled correctly; and your old visa is still valid even though your passport has expired. Make sure you carry both passports with you when you travel.

Can I use different surname?

Changing a surname. As with your first name, there is nothing in the law stopping you from changing your surname at any time, so long as you don't have any fraudulent (or other criminal) intent. You can assume any surname you please in addition to, or substitution for, your existing surname.

Is there any problem with single name on passport?

As long as you have a Surname in your passport, you will not have MAJOR problems. If there is no surname in your passport, stop right here and get your name changes in your passport first before going forward with any application or study abroad process. Empty (or blank) Surname in Passport equals TROUBLE.
