I-751 part 7 doesn't autofill because of no middle name

[Lightbird 17]

Basically what the title says. I am filling the form and since I have no middle name I leave it blank, but on part 7 the space is blank and only seems to be filled if a middle name is included.

What should I do in this case?

Put N/A for my middle name and print the form and hand write the name on part 7 alongside my signature?

Or just leave the middle name blank completely?

Thank you guys!

I added a dot on the middle name field.

I tried to just press space and basically it shows like First letter Name. .Last name

So it looks a little weird with the 2 dots in the middle. I can't put a dot in the middle name field with adobe and if I use firefox or chrome it doesn't autofill it still it seems.

For me one dot was enough and the field auto populated "Name's first letter . Surname".

Thank you, I will give it a few more tries maybe I am doing something wrong.

Did you use adobe or something else?

Adobe reader I think. The free version that just opens files. 🤪

Download the form and open it with Adobe reader.

In the space for middle name, see if you can put "-----" (3 or 5 dashes).  This indicates to everybody that there's no middle name, and it can't be mistaken.

I tried with adobe, basically it does what I described, if you omit the middle name it just doesn't output anything since it excepts the input of middle name too.

 

Ok as an update and for anyone else that might encounter the same problem the only workaround I found so far that doesn't involve printing the pdf and handwriting it is that one can use Foxit reader and open the document. From there they can use a tool it has called "Typewriter", go to the obnoxious field that refuses to be autofilled and manually add the name there.

Easily avoided if handwriting the form
