My wife has a 'nickname' that most people call her and address her in cards and letters. This nickname differs from legal name. Should i not include evidence that has her 'nickname' on it? Or do i present her 'nickname' in my 'coverletter' to let USCIS know about her 'nickname'? Or, should i include her 'nickname' on the first page of the i-751 under 3.a.?

My husband and I go by online aliases, and when we submitted our evidence I wrote a brief explanation of the names and who was who, with a little sworn oath on the bottom that I signed stating at what I'd written above was factual and true. Our petition was approved without an RFE. We didn't mention the nicknames on any of the paperwork, just in that explanatory page.

Of course, what works for some might not work for all, so if someone else has any experience please consider their story, too.

On the form G325A the second line under "Family Name" there is a box labeled "All Other Names Used." List nicknames, etc. here.

I added the statement below in our Cover Letter. Is this sufficient?

Also: Please be advised. (wife's full name) also goes by a ‘nickname’ which is: ###### You will primarily see this ‘nickname’ in our Christmas Cards. Furthermore, On our Form I-751 we placed this ‘nickname’ under:

Part 1. Information About You, the Conditional Resident – Other Names Used – 3.b. ‘Nickname’-#####
