Visa issues, surname of father
I have a binomial name - Sammy Kumar,
name of my father is monomial - Rajiv (no surname)
Will there be any problem in applying for visa to western countries(EU & USA) ?
Best Answer
This is such a common occurrence in many countries that there are procedures for it. People with one name can and do get visas.
The instructions for the DS-160 form, for applying for a US visa, state that for people with one name, you enter the single name in the Surname: field, and enter FNU in the Given name: field.
Help: Surnames
Enter all surnames (or family names) exactly as they are written in your passport. If only one name is written in your passport, enter that as your “Surname.”
Help: Given Names
If your passport does not include a first or given name, please enter 'FNU' (meaning “first name unknown”) in the space for “Given Names.”

Answer 2
It says here in the US consulate website: http://chennai.usconsulate.gov/temporary-visitors/faqs.html
What if I do not have a first name? What if I do not have a surname?
If your visa is approved, visas will be printed as your name appears in your passport. If you do not have a first name or surname, your entire name will be printed on the surname field of the visa. Your first name will be printed as "FNU" (first name unknown).
By having "FNU" listed as your given name on your visa, you may have difficulty obtaining a driver’s license and social security card in the United States. If you would like to correct the surname and given name fields on your passport biographic data page, you must have an observation made in your passport by the Indian Passport Authorities. In order for your name to be correctly printed on your visa, you must have this observation made before coming for your interview.
