“NMN” Uscis Portal

[throwitaway 190]

Hi folks, I entered the US on an immigrant visa not too long ago.

 

My SSN has come in, my green card I’m still waiting.

 

When checking my USCIS portal for my pending I-551, my profile has the letters NMN in my name. I realize this means no middle name, but anybody know if I should be worried this will be printed on my green card when it finally goes into production? Not sure if this is typical for others or if I should send in a typographical error e-request?

 

I have a feeling it’s an internal USCIS thing, but I also have trust issues and worry someone thinks that’s actually my middle name 😅

When you filled out any application or petition, did you type "NMN" in any space where middle name was asked for?

 

The best way (least prone to misinterpretation) is to put dashes:  ---

Nope, I do have a middle name, and it appears in the profile -  but they squeezed NMN between my middle name and last.

Hmm.  For your peace of mind, send the e-request, and perhaps try to call USCIS.

 

I defer to anyone on VJ to whom this has happened and who has a different recommendation on the basis of that experience.

I doubt it's typical but it did happen to me -- "NMN" in my name on my I-551 profile on myUSCIS account, even if my actual middle name was also listed.  I was worried enough that it would be printed on my GC so I did log a USCIS typo error request.  Afterwards, my I-551 profile was corrected to remove the "NMN" and my GC was printed with my correct middle name.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Unfortunately my card’s already in production so it might be too late to do anything about it preemptively. Here’s hoping the card comes in correct!

Fingers crossed.  Be sure to let us know.

I doubt it's typical, as my wife doesn't have a middle name (and using a Russian or similar patronymic as a middle name can cause issues some places and be useful in others, so it's a coinflip as to whether you should, but we didn't) and we never got anything with "NMN" in it.

Did have a small issue because we put her patronymic as a middle name on the K-1 application and then didn't on AOS, which confused a social security administration worker when we got an updated card (as Anastasia [my last name] and with no 'valid for work only with DHS authorization' text).

UPDATE: Got the card, NMN was not printed.

Superb!  Thanks for returning with your update.
