I expect your GC will replace the hyphen with a blank space.

 

Does your passport have the hyphen? 
 

Does your passport have the hyphen in the optical machine readable portion?

Hi MIke. Thanks for your reply.

 

1) Does your passport have the hyphen? 
In my local and foreign ID also with hypen(AGHA-ZADA) 

2) Does your passport have the hyphen in the optical machine readable portion?

I never tested but in optical machine section written :

PCXXXAGHA<ZADA<<TURAL<<.........

< is used for space or hyphen in the ICAO standard. So when your passort is scanned, what shows U.S. Agha Zada

 

You can write your surname as Agha-Zada if you want.
