I am IMG from india and have only one name. In passport it is used in "Given Names". I want to find out if anyone else is in same boat as I am. I sometime feel very frustrated about problem I face in paperworks in US.

If someone has similiar situation please reply back.

Many applications come in every year with one name. Just put the name under "last" name, so that it comes up with searches.

Good luck

Hi bbb, MyERAS is not allowing be to leave "first" and blank. I filled in "nfn" (NO FIRST NAME).

What should I put there ?

Thanx for your help.

I think in that case write first name in spaces for both first and last names, but its better to email ECFMG-ERAS , address is, eras-support@ecfmg.org, they will respond within a day,on all working days.
