USCIS portal shows "nmn" in name

[summertime2 43]

I just received my IR1 visa and am planning to do my POE next week. I just paid my immigrant fee online on the USCIS website, but noticed after paying on my profile on the USCIS website, where it says "pending cases" it has I-551, and below "I-551 Personal Information" it has my full name listed like this:

MyFirstName MyMiddleName "NMN" MyLastName

 

So there's "NMN" right in the middle of my name. Apparently NMN stands for "no middle name", which is ridiculous because my middle name is listed right next to it.

The temporary visa that has been put in my passport has no such typos.

 

My questions are:

1. Is this going to cause me an issue at the POE next week (as in will the border agent see a mismatch in names in their system with the name in my passport and visa and say I can't come in)
2. Does this mean when my green card is mailed to me, it will say "NMN" in it, and
3. If so, is this going to be a major issue to correct

 

Thank you for any help!!

Sounds like they listed your middle name as part of your first name and left the middle name space blank.

 

If you get the GC with the same error, you can fill out the I-90. It will be free of charge since it is USCIS's mistake. You can also try to correct it now by filing an e-Request here:

Thank you! I will try correcting it with that form. Do you think this could cause me problems when I do POE next week?

Hi! I'm having the same issue right now. Just want to ask if you were able to change it through the online form? Thank you!

Alright, thank you! Will try to change it as well, then update on this thread how it'll go. 😊

Hi! I was wondering if you tried this? We're facing the same issue and will immigrate in a couple of weeks.

Pls how did you eventually resolved this? Did this affect you at POE?

It did not affect me at POE. I called USCIS about it (by the point I called them they'd already mailed the green card, unexpectedly early) and the agent I spoke to pretty much told me that if I don't have any issues using the Green Card, then it didn't really need to be fixed. I have some concerns about it causing me issues when I go to the DMV to get ID (was waiting to get vaccinated before I go), so we'll see how that goes. From what I've read about the issue, it happens to a lot of people and for many of them it doesn't seem to cause any problems.

Thanks. I have sent a message to USCIS for correction if any. I will just ignore and proceed with my trip plan. Thanks again.

Also for the record, the green card doesn't say "nmn" on it. I'd imagine if it did it could be more of a problem.
