I-130 Beneficiary Middle Name

[Worldtraveler222 0]

Hello, I recently filed the I-130 and just put my first and last name as it is all that’s on my passport. I received an RFIE for proof of US Citizenship which I provided my passport already but was not sure if it was a bad scan or got lost so I uploaded it again as well as my birth certificate which I realized has my middle name. Then I realized my marriage license does as well. On the application I just didn’t put anything. Is this something I need to submit unsolicited evidence for? Can we be denied for me not writing my middle name? Also, my middle

named is misspelled on my drivers license and marriage license because it has to match my drivers license that I originally obtained with my short birth certificate that had the typo, long form is correct. I can send in proof of everything or should I wait?

This is a non-issue at this time.  In future forms, tell the truth.  You know you have a middle name and you know the proper spelling is the one on your birth certificate.  Be truthful and accurate.  Answer the actual questions asked.  When asked for your name, give your full name.  The question does not ask for the name on your passport or the name on your driver license.  It asks for your NAME.  You know your name.

lol I have no reason to lie. On everything that doesn’t require my middle name I use my first and last. I have a long name so it’s just easier. I only have it on the documents where they told me “oh we have to add your name like it is on the birth certificate”

otherwise I never think about it. Thank you for your reply and it’s weird to think someone would lie about that. I work for the government and wouldn’t intentionally try to mislead them…they have all of my info

I'm not talking about intentionally misleading anybody.  You were filling out a government form that asked for your middle name as part of your full name.  You know you have a middle name, but left it blank  I'm advising you to make the effort to be accurate and truthful going forward in this process.  It was an oversight on your part, not to be the first time.  That's why you have this issue now.
