Other names used question

[Matsiepan 6]

Informally (i.e. on none of my actual forms of ID) I hyphenate my husband and mine's last names. I have not and do no currently plan to change this on any of my IDs. However, I receive mail from my husband's family either addressed using my husband's last name,or the hyphenated version (they presumed I was going to take his name without even asking). Additionally, in one of the affidavits a friend of our referred to me by the informal hyphenization of my maiden and husband's last name. Should I be including this name in the "other names used" box on the I-130? I want to avoid any possible confusion by whomever reviews our package.

Unless you've formally and legally used the name, then I wouldn't include it in the "other names used". That's more for actual, legal names you've used in the past, such as previous married names.
