My Vietnamese Wife's name consists of 4 Names (Last Name, Middle Name, First Name #1 First Name #2). Example: Nguyen Thi Thu Trang
Essentially, her Vietnamese first name is "Thu Trang". 

On her K-1 Visa, I-94 Entry Doc, Foreign Passport, and Marriage Certificate, it lists her Last Name as "Nguyen" and Given Name as "Thi Thu Trang".
She would like to go by "Trang" (First Name #2) on her future ID and documents, instead of "Thi Thu Trang", as listed on her current paperwork.

During her entry into the U.S. a couple of months ago, customs officers were calling her "Thi" instead of "Trang". 

Rather than a Name Change, can we just change her name Name Ordering, so that it can become:

Last Name: Nguyen
Middle Name: Thi Thu
First Name: Trang

Or do we need to wait until her N-400 Citizenship Process starts until we can start the name ordering change? 

Thank you so much!
