Message Field Code Directory

Each message transaction is comprised of multiple data elements; this section provides the necessary information on data elements for this transaction.

Each data element is identified by a specific field name. Each field name is abbreviated with a unique three-character code called a message field code (MFC). The MFC's are sorted alphabetically, then followed by a plain-word description of each. The number immediately following the description indicates the maximum number of characters allowed for that data element. Following the length field is a data requirements field, describing what kinds of characters are allowed. Following that is a text section describing additional detail regarding this field. The final section describes placement requirements for the field.

Note: No field is allowed in any other transaction. Additional context for NAM and TYP follow below the table.

NAM REFERENCE

Multiple last names, with or without spaces in between, are combined into the entered last name. Apostrophes are not entered. For last names conjugated by the letter "y", replace the "y" with a hyphen and join the names together. A single comma is required after the last name.

Hyphens are permitted in the last name only; if a first or middle name is hyphenated, replace the hyphen with a space. If that creates more names than permitted, remove the space so the two formerly hyphenated names become one.

The usage of surnames from different countries can often be confusing. For example, Hispanics generally use both their fathers and mothers last name, giving them a double last name. The first name of this double last name is generally the most important name for record check purposes. If one does not know how to place these names in the name fields on inquiries, misses could occur. Below is a short explanation of the construction of names often checked with INS indices.

HISPANIC FIRST NAMES:

Many Spanish first names consist of more than one word, for example, Maria de Los Angeles, Maria de la Luz, and Maria del Carmen.

When written with a prepositional phrase, the name should be treated as one first name. If the name is not recorded with a prepositional phrase, for example, Maria Luz or Maria Carmen, it should be considered first and middle names.

HISPANIC SURNAMES:

Spanish and Hispanic persons customarily use the surnames of both parents. This double surname is derived from the first surname of the father and the first surname of the mother. Neither name is considered a middle name. The surname of the father precedes that of the mother.

The two surnames may be connected by the word "y", which means "and". For example, Juan Gomez y Conde has Juan as a first name, Gomez as the surname of the father, and Conde as the surname of the mother.

For recording purposes, all double last names are listed with the father's surname followed by the mother's surname. Juan Gomez y Conde would be recorded as Juan Gomez Conde.

The nationals of some South American countries do not, as a general rule, use both last names. If the subject comes from a country that uses both last names, but the subject only uses one, and it is his mother's surname, this will often indicate that the subject's parents were not married.

HISPANIC MARRIED NAMES FOR WOMEN:

When she marries, a woman commonly drops the surname of her mother and adds the first surname of her husband, preceded by the preposition "de." This indicates she is the "wife of" that man. Maria Gomez Garcia, when married to Juan Martinez Ramirez, would become Maria Gomez de Martinez and will be recorded as Gomez de Martinez, Maria.

Note that according to traditional Hispanic usage the woman's surname never changes. After admission to the United States, however, some women have adopted the American custom of using the husband's surname as their own. Maria Gomez de Martinez may begin to give her name as Martinez, Maria Gomez.

ASIAN (CHINESE) NAMES:

When a sequence of two, three or four names appear, no part of which can be recognized as the first name, middle name or surname, the first part only is identified as the surname and the next parts used as the first name and middle name.

When one of more names follows the surname, use only the first as the surname. Sometimes the surname will be in capital letters and the other names will be connected by a hyphen. In such cases you may find the surname written either before or after the other names.

Name Surname Low Tai Yat Low Harry Yat Bun Sing Yat Soong Mei Ling Soong

MIDDLE EASTERN NAMES:

When a sequence of two, three or four names appear, no part of which can be recognized as the first name, middle name or surname, the last part only is identified as the surname and the first part used as the first name.

Name Surname Mohammed Ali Jafir Jafir

When a surname is preceded by an article such as "El" or "Al", it is considered to be part of the surname.

Name Surname Yousef Ben El Gazar El Gazar

Mrs. Alice Fay McDonahue = MCDONAHUE, ALICE FAY
Jean Pierre Michael d'Lessandro = DLESSANDRO, JEAN PIERRE MICHAEL
