Confusion about my Last name

[fitleo 15]

I had a hyphenated last name and to make my life easier, I removed it when I got naturalized and it was replaced with a space.

This has always caused me problems and now I suddenly noticed that my marriage certificate (I decided to keep my name) has the hyphenated version although it has already been changed then to a spaced-name (but I think there was a problem typing it as such in the country where we married so I opted to put the hyphen back)

There is no difference in anything else. Same letters, same spelling, same order. Example Van-Burger ---> Van Burger

Will that cause any delays or problems in my I-130 petition for my husband since passport has no hyphen but marriage certificate has a hyphen???

:-(

Thank you!!!!!!

There's not much you can do about it. Your marriage certificate is what it is. Carry on and see what happens.

Curious, do you go by Burger now with Van being the middle name?

Or is it something like Betty Sue Van Burger?

Hahaha that was just an example

Thank God

I'm going to fill out all my paperwork with the last name I have on my passport which is, example Van Burger (space)

Van-Burger (with the hyphen) in the marriage certificate is something you rightly said I can't change. ...

Thanks!
