i-130 Use of Legal Name vs Green Card name on I-130 form.

[noslin 0]

Hello everyone,

I-m trying to help someone, that's a permanent resident, filling form I-130 to bring his daughter to USA. The name he uses on his Green Card is different from his legal name on his birth Certificate and passport. Let's says his name on Birth Certificate is JOAO BARBOSA AMADO LOPES, but in his Green Card he is using JOAO B. LOPES. Which name shall I use to fill the form I-130? Thank You.

legal name.

also he may need to get the card updated to have his legal name in it, not sure why he would not have his legal name on it to begin with

Almost certainly no need to update the green card - it's fairly typical that they only have first name and middle initial (at least on the front - middle names may be on the machine readable section on the back if there's enough space).
