These forms are so crazy and the instructions aren't really clear :(

GIven Name;
I am "Jane May Doe"
I use just Jane Doe.

What do we put?
Jane
or Jane May (May being middle name)

THanks!

We are thinking just Jane, but want to be sure.

are you working on the Background?

We put the following:

Family Name: Doe
Given names: Jane
May
 
It's for the Sponsorship Undertaking where he lists who he's undertaking... I had put Jane May on my documents - but now hubby is asking and I'm doubting myself.

Thanks Heather!

I was always taught that given names were first and middle!

These forms are SO much WORK! They really test your patients and your reading comprehension! LOL
 
They are, I thought we were all done with that years ago with the USCIS!

I did some googling before I posted here and it all said "Jane".

For family name, lol, did you use your maiden name or your married name?
 
Heather is correct family name is your last name given names are your first, middle, secon, third.

EX,,,, PETER KYLE CUNNINGHAM

CUNNINGHAM is the family name
PETER KYLE is the given manes



EX,,,, PETER KYLE KENT CUNNINGHAM

CUNNINGHAM is the family name
PETER KYLE KENT are given names


EX,,,,PETER KYLE KENT THE 3RD CUNNINGHAM

CUNNINGHAM is family
PETER KYLE KENT THE 3RD is given names

I used married everywhere it said family and my maiden only when it asked for maiden or name at birth. I think that I must have filled out the forms about a dozen times. I printed and hand filled and then transferred the info over after. Husband and I actually almost missed signing some of the documents as the whole process became an obsessive quest to make sure they were filled out right.
 
So in the case of my mother-in-law when he's listing her, it asks family name. He still would put 'Doe' because she's not remarried to anyone after his dad passed away.
 
When forms ask for your 'given name(s)', put your first and middle names. Whatever is on your passport is safest.
 
On another application it asked for it again - and it indicated "shown on passport"
Wish these forms were more universal in their consistency!
 
put according your passport since they are going to match it at last.

inthe guide it says ur family is nt ur father or mother ,sister or brother
but at the end the additional family asks questions about ur family
