So I was looking over our NOA1 just now and I noticed that there's a minor error on my name (beneficiary).

Let's say my name is Marie Antoinette Lucille Bubblegum. Double first name, middle name, surname.

The NOA1 has my name as Bubblegum, Marie Antoinett

Without the 'e' on the end. Does anyone know what the character limit is on the first name field? My first name, including space, is 14 characters (13 not including space). Of that, they've put in, including space, 13 characters (12 not including space).

Is this a massive problem that we should be calling them to correct? Or is this a government form character limit issue? My name is long enough (full maiden name was actually 27 letters, not including spaces) that I have run into government form character limit issues before. Just want to make sure assuming that this time isn't going to screw us over.

Met in 2010 on a forum for a mutual interest. Became friends.
2011: Realized we needed to evaluate our status as friends when we realized we were talking about raising children together.

2011/2012: Decided we were a couple sometime in, but no possibility of being together due to being same sex couple.

June 26, 2013: DOMA overturned. American married couples ALL have the same federal rights at last! We can be a family!

June-September, 2013: Discussion about being together begins.

November 13, 2013: Meet in person to see if this could work. It's perfect. We plan to elope to Boston, MA.

March 13, 2014 Married!

May 12, 2014: NOA1.
October 27, 2014: NOA2. (5 months, 2 weeks, 1 day after NOA1)
October 31, 2014: USCIS ships file to NVC (five days after NOA2) Happy Halloween for us!

November 18, 2014: NVC receives our case (22 days after NOA2)

December 17, 2014: NVC generates case number (50 days after NOA2)

December 19, 2014: Receive AOS bill, DS-261. Submit DS-261 (52 days after NOA2)

December 20, 2014: Pay AOS Fee

January 7, 2015: Receive, pay IV Fee

Cool, thanks. I was pretty sure that was the answer, but didn't want to make an assumption, then later on find out we should have made a phonecall right now. They have photocopies of my ID with my name spelled correctly.
