Names on Green Card

Did they put you first, middle and last name on your green Card? Or just your first and last name?

My Green Card has my Surname, First name and middle initial.

Actually I was wondering if it was normal to only have the middle initial rather than the full middle name.

Same here. I was wondering if middle initial intead of full middle name is the norm.

So if they had your initial when you apply for your social security # and other documents how do you apply? I mean if they are not using all names

Middle name is on your passport and birth cerificate.

I think they are supposed to put the full name at the bottom in the machine-readable portion.. But in my husband's case they just put the middle initial and not the whole middle name at both the top and the bottom of his card.. When he went to the Social Security office to apply for a new card without restrictions, they said the name on the card has to match the greencard exactly.. So even though his first Social Security card had his full name just as it appears on his passport, the new unrestricted card has just a middle initial instead of the whole middle name. Kind of frustrating, but we're hoping it won't cause any major problems for us since he still has the passport if anyone asks for proof of middle name.

My husband has two last names which is not working out, they keep leaving out his family name (real last name) on all notices.
