I don't have a surname in my passport. My full name "Elizebeth Sunny' is written in the given name space. On my US B1/B2 Visa, my surname is "Elizebeth Sunny" and my first name is "FNU" or First Name Unknown. Since surname is mandatory, the US embassy asked me to add my given name in surname space and add first name as FNU.

Thank you for clearing the doubt for me.

Happy to help! This is a common known issue among Indian passport holders. I have my 10 year US B1/B2 visa approved under the name "FNU Elizebeth Sunny". I have traveled to US multiple times on this visa and this has never created any problems at the US immigration. However, my Schengen visas have my full name repeated as the first name and the surname. It reads "Elizebeth Sunny Elizebeth Sunny".
For bschools, you might want to match your name to what is on your GMAT.
