Hello there !

I was wondering where i should put the 'bin/binti' of Malay names on the US Visa application DS-160 : given name or surname ?

In Iceland, the bin/binti is obviously stuck to the last name, but since it's detached in Malaysia, many photos (2) of Malay US visas show people putting the binti as a given name.

Digging a little more, surnames can be concatenated in Arabic, giving Tanya binti A binti B binti C binti D binti E, which would give as given name Tanya Binti Binti Binti Binti Binti, surname A B C D E

Any experience with this ?
