Question about middle names

Hi, I'm new to the forum. Been reading through a bunch of posts and have gotten a lot of useful information so far. :)

One thing has been bothering me that I can't find any decisive information on. How are the names supposed to appear on the I-129F and also the G-325A forms, regarding inclusion of middle names?

Both I and my fiance have middle names. My middle name appears on my birth certificate, but my drivers license (which is also an EDL to get to Canada,) just has my middle initial, as does my social security card. I rarely use my middle name for things, like my pay stubs, bank accounts, credit cards, etc. all don't have my middle name on them.

My fiance is Canadian. Her middle name appears on her drivers license, but not on her passport. Her tax documents have her middle name on them, but not her paystubs. Her credit card has her middle initial.

I want all the names to be as consistent as possible, to avoid any issues, but I'm unsure as to how to go about it. They are already inconsistent. Could we get into trouble for providing middle names, if they don't always appear on other documents submitted?

Hope that makes sense. Does anyone know what we should do here? Thanks so much!!

Use your full name as it appears on your birth certificate. It is common for the middle name to be omitted on some documents and this should not raise any red flags.

I've seen various advice on the forum toward name variations such as Robert vs Bob and listing these in the alternative names field.

Personally, I use just my middle name for normal correspondence. I listed my middle name and last name in the alternative names field to make it clear that I use that combination if something turns up in a database.
