Won't be a problem - Doug is (obviously) short for Douglas; it is pretty common.

Doug is a very common 'short cut' for Douglas. I wouldn't sweat it.

Hello Mymy,

I have the same problem, my man is using a different first name and middle name than his official one.

So there is a different first/middle name on his tax transcript, and another on his paystub... and another different version on his passport... o_O

Oddly, this seems to be almost common in the USA.

I know that in France, this wouldn't be possible at all, and at first, just like you, it totally freaked me out.

I listed the names he uses on the original petition though.

As previous posters said, it seems to be no problem.

I think what matter the most is the Social Security number for tax transcript and paystubs.
