Thanks @millefleur!! That is pretty much what we did on the forms. Despite my dad using a middle name, his passport and foreign license shows them as "given names". So we left the middle name blank on all the USCIS forms and put the first, middle, last format into the alias list. Will wait to see what the EAD card says. Would one expect the EAD card also truncate the name? Something like JOE QUICKDRA (MIDDLE INITIAL BLANK) PUBLIC

I just filed a petition for AOS and GC application for my father. (I am a naturalized US citizen). What I've been noticing on all the notices of action and receipts we've received thus far is that his name is truncated in the addressee line. For example, say his name (first middle and last) is, JOE QUICKDRAW PUBLIC All the letters show the addressee name with one letter missing from the end, such as: PUBLIC, JOE QUICKDRA c/o JOES KID 1234 MAIN STREET BLAH BLAH 12345 I'm optimistically assuming that this just means that the USCIS is truncating his name. I've already verified that his name is correct and fully spelled out on all the forms we sent with the application. The full name is what appears on all the supporting docs: passport etc etc. Has anyone encountered this before? In your case, was it a mistake that needed correction (and further delays) or was it just a shortening that is standard procedure in how the letters are printed? The application is at the EAD stage now. So I guess we'll find out soon, I guess :)
