Hi,
As per passport my surname is blank
Given Name(s): YYYY YYYY
Surname:
My approved I797 and I94 (H4 to H1B) has
I797:
Beneficiary : YYYY YYYY, NO NAME GIVEN
I94:
Family Name: YYYY YYYY
First (Given) Name: NO NAME GIVEN
As you see the Given name/First Name and Surname/Family Name has been reversed on I797/I94 from the passport.
I have heard USCIS does this on purpose in case where first or last name is missing they will keep the first name blank.
When i went to apply for SSN , officer told me this is a issue and my data would be sent to Department of homeland security for verification and it will take around 4 weeks on verification decision.
Would this reversal create a issue in verification and if yes then how do i get this corrected.
