According to the approval letter, his application for refugee status in the United States has been conditionally approved under &207(a)of the United States Immigration and Nationality Act. In the approval letter, based on the writing system of applicant's name of Resettlement Support Center, his last name comes first in capital letter and it becomes PAU, David Ngin Sian. But his name according to his Social Security Card issued by the US Social Security Administration shows the correct way of writing his name, i.e. DAVID NGIN SIAN PAU.
