No Last Name & Child Birth In USA

My son was born in Nov, 2015 in United states. And as per procedure, hospital was supposed to take care of filling for my son's SSN and birth certificate. While filling up the forms they wanted mother's first and last name and in my case I have only first name in my Indian Passport and FNU(First name) in my visa. Check the visa story here.

My name on Indian Passport: XYZ
My name on USA Visa: FNU XYZ

Birth certificate and passport are the documents which are going to be with my son for life long and by no means I wanted my name to be printed as FNU in my any of my son's document. It has several risks and pain associated to it as well:
1. While traveling to any other country other than USA, how am I gonna proof that I am the Mother of son, as my real name is XYZ but my son's passport and birth certificate will show FNU XYZ.
2. While getting admission to schools and colleges, there would be mother's name mismatch.
3. While making any future investment for the kid.
4. While buying any property or for any other legal formalities that require mother's name.
5. Not only this, US immigration check is so strict that when you leaves a country with a child (specially to Mexico), they check for proofs that the child belongs to you or not. Even if there is any mismatch in the last name of mother and child, you are in trouble. I got this information from internet.

So the bottom line is, I wanted my son's documents to not have FNU in mother's name.
We requested the same to the hospital staff but they said they can't leave the last name empty in the form. Also, they wanted us to show some document that shows my name as XYZ instead of FNU XYZ. Hospital records and insurance had my name as FNU XYZ.
But luckily my driver's license has my name as XYZ and last name is blank. Check out the DL story without last name.
So, finally hospital was ready to go with my name without last name.

Getting International Flight Ticket Without A Surname

Okay!

So you entered States and got DL done without the last name in Indian passport.

Now how about going out of the States?

Here is the thing, like US government, all other business operations in the US also demand you to have both first & last name. 

Yes, you guessed it right! Airlines do require 1st and last name on ticket which should eventually match your passport not visa and as you don't have a last name (or have a single name) on your passport, you again land into trouble. Gurrr....

 Although domestic travel in US will not trouble you as they won't necessarily ask for passport and you are good to go with your Id proof (e.g. DL, ITIN etc).

I booked 2 international tickets with 2 different airlines (British Airways & Emirates).
As usual, while booking online both airlines website asked for first & last name which should match the name on the passport.

Booking With Emirates
I called the customer care to check for this and they said I have to have a last name to book the ticket because their system would not allow them to proceed with blank last name. They were sorry and hung up. Now you can imagine the level of frustration I went through. I mean seriously? Firstly, you can't enter USA easily without a last name and now you can't leave this country. Not funny for someone who faced this name mess.
I decided to call them once again and viola this time some experienced guy picked up. He was able to go ahead with the booking form without last name (usually they are authorized to do so) and was able to generate the itinerary but the ticket was not confirmed unless we make payment and since this was an exception, their system couldn't handle it well
