Hello
I'm just arrived from India and working on L-1. I have issues with multiple words in my name.
My pass port has given name as : aaa bbb ccc
Last name : ddd
My social security card has first name as : aaabbb
Middle name as : ccc
Last name as : ddd
My employer has my first name as : aaa bbb ccc
Last name as: ddd
Middle name is not taken.
I have started facing issues with credit checks with credit reporting agencies. The credit report I have got following a credit check failure has a special message "SSN not issued by Social Security Administration". I spoke to SSA and they said my first name should be used as "aaabbb"
Please suggest about the general practice that I should follow for all immigration related. I can think of 2 options
1. Have my name changed in SSN : first name as "aaa bbb ccc". I'm not sure if their computer systems accept multiple words in the first name.
2. Have my name changed : first name "aaa" middlename "bbb ccc" in all the records including SSN and my employer. My bank accounts, utility accounts have this format currently.
Please advise which one should I take. Thanks a lot in advance.
If my passport has given name with 3 words, should I carry all the words in first name for social security / immigration. Please help.
thanks,
