Use of family name on I-130

[US math guy 0]

Like many Mexicans, the official name of my wife (e.g., on her voter ID card) has three names:

1. Her given name

2. The family name of her father (apellido)

3. The family name of her mother

Ordinarily, e.g., at the office, she just uses the first two names and that is how her name appears in the employee directory. So upon emigrating here if she were to exactly fill out the I-130 form with all three names, I am afraid when it is all said and done, she could end up with a U.S. driver license with the third name being the family name of her mother, that she is not used to when she is being addressed (e.g., in a office setting).

I asked a cuban colleague about this. He told me if I did not want to hyphenate the two family names, when I fill out the I-130 I should just leave out the third name altogether, even though some of the attachments may refer to all three names. He explained that USCIS is used to this discrepancy and that there should not be a problem.

Do you agree? Gracias.

Use name that she will be use in the USA on (line 1), and on the line "Other names used" (Line 7)put name as it is on ID and other legal documents. Do the same on form G-325A, and DS-230 etc..
