Name Bifurcation Issue
Hello

I have H1b Petition approved and it is sponsored by my Employer ZZZ. In my approved petition and Passport my name appears as Given Name: AAA BBB while my surname is Blank.

My H1B petition is approved but I am yet to attend VISA Stamping Interview.
At this point in time Is it fine to get my name bifurcated in the passport as Given Name: AAA Surname: BBB before getting the Visa Stamped.

I heard that if the person does not have Surname then there might be issues to get License and other formalities in US and that is the reason I want my name to get printed properly in Passport before attending the Stamping Interview.

I would like to know will there be any issue during interview if we have a new Passport with a new passport number whereas the H1b initiation and Petition approval has been done with Old passport. Or will be it fine if I carry both the passport during the Interview as well as when I am Travelling.

Please help if you had any such experience or if you are aware.
