Why not withdraw it?

Is there a danger to GC itself?

my Green Card has the wrong resident since date. My resident since date says 09/27/2017 and it should state 05/17/2019. Do you think it might be an issue at the time of the interview?

 

I applied for citizenship earlier in 2022 because I didn't know my residence since date was wrong. At the time of interview, the IO told me that I didn't have to file the I-90 if I didn't want to because I would be eligible to re-apply soon and it wouldn't harm my future application. Still I was worried now that it might be an issue... Maybe just overthinking

I'm confused. Are you @leilabird?

How are you a resident of 9 years if your GC should start in 2019?

This is a kind of dumb question and I don't know if anyone has any insight, but worth a shot! 

 

My name has always been a bit weird and confusing because I have an official first name that's on all of my government documents, a middle name (which is what I go by) that's on all of my government documents either as an initial or in full, and another middle name that's on my birth certificate and marriage license and that I've included somewhere on all applications to USCIS including this one. For example: Sally Jane Mary Smith, but almost everything is either Sally Jane Smith or Sally J. Smith. Thanks, family! Anyway, all of the cards I've received from USCIS up to this point have just had my official first name, the initial of my first middle name (the one I go by) and my last name. Will my naturalization certificate follow that same trend, or are they suddenly going to add the second middle name to it? It's not a big enough deal to go through the effort and possible delay of a name change just to drop it, but I'm also hoping it's not on my certificate because it would feel weird at this point (and I hate it lol). Can I ask that it just reads like my other cards do?

 

Again, not a huge deal either way, but I'm curious and would also like to brace myself to potentially have to hear it said out loud! It's a relatively common name with an extremely uncommon spelling (think spelling error, really) and it sometimes throws people. My husband, however, would have a field day if he hears it said in an official capacity 😂

I also have 2 middle names as is fairly common in France (are you French Canadian?). Same as yours, my green card is first name and initial of "second name" only.

But I've noticed that the NOA1 I just received has my full name with both middle names. (Funny enough, they added a line "care of" with just my first and last name in the address, ie Sally Jane Mary Smith c/o Sally Smith, lol.) I expect to see both my middle names on the naturalization certificate because of that.
