  • I-485, Given / Middle Name Confusion

    The I-94 of my spouse shows her "FAMILY NAME" correctly, but her "GIVEN NAME" includes what would normally be considered both her FIRST and also her LAST name.

    The USCIS form I-485 gives instructions to "provide your name exactly as it appears on your I-94".

    Since the I-94 shows my spouse's middle name as part of her given name (in fact, there is no section on the i-94 for "middle name"), should we include her middle name as part of her first/given name to match the i-94, or should we put her middle name as her middle name, to match how we would normally format her name?

    I've posted a few questions here, so far none have been approved by moderators just yet. I can't help but to feel like I might be overthinking some of these questions,

      Where the form asks for her name, use her correct legal name in the correct format.

      If the form says "name as it appears on the I-94," then put exactly as it appears on the I-94.
