not enough name space in green card.

[wilzen13 0]

Good day everyone,

I would just like to know if whether or not i should write my complete name in the n-400 or what is written in the green card which shows that my 2nd name is shown as my middle initial. in my birth certificate that i submitted i have my complete name.

Hopefully some can help me with regards to this matter.

Thank you very much and Happy Holidays!

You write your real, correct, legal name.

For example, the former presidential candidate Senator John Kerry's wife's name is Maria Teresa Thierstein Simões-Ferreira Heinz. It doesn't matter if it doesn't fit on a card: that's her name.

Speaking of . . . now's the time to fix your problem, once and for all, free of charge and easily. I changed my name with the N-400 application, you can do that as well. Think about it.

Wife dropped her maiden name on the N-400 application after her married name, a custom in her country she wanted to stick with, but really confusing here. That is what her certificate and US passport says, SS had no problem in dropping her maiden name off her card. Her drivers' license didn't have enough space for it, but her green card did. Her employer also didn't have space to tack on her married name so just went by that, but a lot more spaces in her home country where tacking on her maiden name must be mandatory, but not here.

Customary in this country for just your first given name, middle initial, and last name, may want to think that over for which name you use. Only time we had to resort back is when she filed a I-130 for her son, there we put her full name down as an alias. Good thing I use Adobe Acrobat Pro, it automatically reduces the font size so it can fit, can't do that with the free reader.

Hi all!

I checked NO to change of name on my n400. Now, I really want to change it. Do you think it can be possible for me to get it changed if i ask the immigation officer during my interview?

As far as I know they do ask you. I had a second middle name that wasn't mentioned on my application. The IO asked me whether I wanted to change that or not. I choose not to do so and that was fine. He modified my application at the interview and that was it. Even when he wouldn't ask you (which I doubt), claim your right to do so.
