Name on Passport question

I have a problem where my birth certificate (Canada) lists 4 names under my given name as well as a last name.

My whole life I have not used the 3 extra given names. They do not show up on provincial documents, financial records, or education records. They don’t show up on my passport either.

 

I filed the I-129f using my full name as it shows up on my birth certificate. The NOA1 could not fit all if it. The NOA2 from the NVC has now dropped my 3 extra names completely (although my fiance’s middle name still shows up).

 

I am now becoming increasingly concerned about this discrepency although I have not received a RFE or anything else. Should I get a new passport made before the interview? I have not completed the DS160 yet.

 

People seem to have had no issues with a new passport before interviews (if their old passport was simply expiring), but would a new name on my passport raise concerns even though it would simply be correcting it to my full name as it is shown on my birth certificate?

 

Also, will having no other ID’s with my full name be a problem when Adjusting status?

I only have an old ID from another province (about a year old, I moved last summer), that shows most of my full name, it still could not fit one of the given names.

On the DS-160 form, enter your name as it appears on your passport.  Also, there is a field where you can enter your other names.  Put there your full name as listed on your birth certificate.  No need to worry as the DS-160 will let you disclose all your names.
