There was many people got this issue in the  past. They suggested us to not doing anything and use name on greencard as official name as it would be hard to change it with I-90 as you cant say Vietnamese passport order is the problem. Vietnam passport order did not list First name is this or Middle name is that so it is not Consulate’s fault. What kind of documentation we need to show USCIS to correct it because their fault in I-90? How do we convince USCIS correct name is legit?
 
My wife has 10 years greencard hence she does not do I-751. She will file N-400 at the end of this year and we will use her greencard name to be her name on N-400. She does not plan to change her name back on N-400 either. If she passes, her US passport name order will be Last name Middle name (green card first name or her wrong first name in US) and First name which will match to Vietnamese passport.
 
It is not straightforward to us at all and we dont like to do this way. I agreed with other people said to correct it  but it is not straightforward and I am not sure it will bring up more issues with I-90 or not.
 
 

I dont think that someone put wrong order when they filed papers. It is Vietnamese passport name order issue.
 
US passport name order lists Surname and Given Name. Given name for US passport lists as First name and then Middle Name. US name on order passport is Last name First name and Middle name.
 
Vietnamese passport name order lists in weird way that is not standard as following: Last Name Middle Name and First Name.
 
When American people look at Vietnamese passport, they thought it would be the same order as US does. That is why they would think Middle name on Vietnamese passport is First name (same order in US passport) and First name is Middle Name. Hence when Consulate printed visa, it needs to match to passport order which greencard will follow the same order as visa.
 
Many Vietnamese people got this issue specially people come here with IR1 or CR1 visa including my wife. K1 visa people filed I-485 form in US which they put correct name on the form and USCIS prints it to match with the form so they dont have issue.

I did just call them up. (wow did I just get lucky, I got in touch with an agent in 2 minutes.)
 
They suggested to use the green card name.
