Hi Vjers! Hope you can enlighten me guys on this one..

I received my SSN card last week, few days after I arrived here in Long Beach CA. I noticed that my Very Long Name is incompletely typewritten in the card.

I have 3 Given First Names, a Middle Name, and a Hyphenated Last Name.

What was shown on the card was just 1 of my First Name plus my Last Name unhyphenated.

Yesterday we went to SSA here in the city, waited for 1 hour and UNFORTUNATELY when it's our turn, the system went down. GGRRR. :girlwerewolf2xn: The lady said that I should apply for a new card so she gave me the Form SS-5. So my husband and I went home.

We went back this morning, waited for 3hours, just for the other lady there to tell me I do not need to apply for a new one since it was given to me automatically from Immigration. She told me to call Immigration, she gave me a number which later on i found out that the number doesnt work. GRRR. :angry:

Looks like I wasted time waiting there. I even told her that I think I really need a new one that shows my Middle Name (okay i wont insist my very long given name, just the middle one) so I can use it to apply for work. and she just said "I dont know, you have to call Immigration first, and Ask them why did they just put 1 First Name and did not put in you Middle Name". DUH! :huh:

Anybody has this experience?

Is it mandatory that all SSN card show middle name?

I am so sick of this.. really.. Any input on this will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot! ;)

I guess your name is too long to fit in the small SS card... But it doesn't matter as long as they got your whole name in their system and matches the name on DHS record. I have long middle name (my mom's maiden name) but they were able to fit it since my whole name is only 25 letters combined. You should be ok... just make sure the SSA and DHS got your entire name on their records.

i applied when i was still legally single lol (2 weeks after i got here in the US)... knowing i have two first names, middle name and last name, the lady was having a hard time "fixing" my name lol... what she did was combining my two first names in one word... ex. mariavictoria, then middle initial, then my last name... i havent change it yet after i got married. its ok. they said i dont need to since its all synchronize to my driver's license, and GC...

wow thanks for those reply..

i havent change it yet,, but for sure i know they (SSA) got my whole name in their system..

I got my GreenCArd yesterday.. funny to see that YES they have my 3 First names there but the last letter of my third name was MISSING! :rofl::blink:

now i have to contact DHS/INS this time.. I think it really wont fit..

another question: would it matter (again) that i am missing A LETTER?

Does anybody here know which one is true for SSA card and Greencard?

1. 25 letters for first and middle, and another 25 letter for last name, = 50

or

2. 25 letters combined (all names).

please enlighten me on this one.

thanks guys.

As far as I know it's 26 letters combined (even the spaces)... Don't take my word for it though, since I just read it too from another section of VJ.
