I have a problem that maybe you guys can relate/help with. I was born in Mexico, so I have two last names. I also have a two name middle name.. if that makes sense.. It goes First name-Del Middle name-Last name-Last name.. hope that made sense. Anyway, in my social security card and permanent residency card it only has my middle initial, D. Now I wonder if somewhere along this legal journey I lost my middle name. Anyone else have a ridiculously long name that's often abbreviated? I was going to file my N-400 which allows you to change your legal name. I was thinking if my middle name was lost, I could change it there to add it again. I want my long name! Ha.. I just don't know how to clarify what my middle name is legally. Does the government really think my middle name is just D? My wife has a middle name and her's is fully written on her SS card and driver's license. 


Also, still pending on my I-751.. I was moved to a different center on April 8th and no update since. 

Hi, July filer just browsing other threads.

 

If you haven't legally changed your name, then your name is still the same (long one). No one can take your name away lol. I also have two names + two last names and they are spelled out in my SSN and driver's license. However, middle name is abbreviated in the green card (A.). I think the "del" just throws them off. In my case I always get mail addressed to first name+second last name because they think my first last name is my middle name. It's dumb but since I haven't changed my name I just ignore that. My name is right in the appropriate legal documents. You can update your SS card and driver's license to show your name correctly, if you want but I don't think it's an issue. Abbreviations are standard.

That seems strange to me. Our evidence is overwhelming. We have a child, home in both names, bank account in both names, taxes filed together last 3 years.....life insurance beneficiary named as my wife, I can go on.......etc etc.

Why would we need an interview....I submitted just about everything possible to show joint relationship.

In the May 2019 filers ppl reported recently getting transferred no interview n approved so it doesn’t necessarily mean they want an interview they are lessening the workloads.  By the way are you Lin or eac?

They may have done it to be able to properly fit your name on the card. They tend to abreviate the middle names here. Its not that they took it away or dont recognize it. Just that the way US systems are created, your SSN is they true key to your identity. Im also from Mexico, for legal documents i always use the - to separate my last names. Or so they recognize that its two separate ones and make sure the first letter is capital and make it very noticeable. You will see that having long and multiple names will be challenging. Lol 

You never know how people will enter it into the system, if it will be all together separated by a space or by the -
