Hi everyone,
N400 asks for name as exactly appears on green card.
Part 1. Your Name
Question B. Your name just as it appears on your Permanent Resident Card.
The middle name is abbreviated on the green card (issues in 2008). The middle name is spelled out in the machine readable part (the special >>><< characters etc). The reason for abbreviation may be simply cosmetic especially when you can see the complete middle name in the machine readable part.
I plan to enter the name as it exactly appears on green card.
USCIS generally considers the name on the permanent resident approval notice to be the official name for immigration purposes.
My question is, does this name (as it appears on green card and entered on N400) end up somewhere on the naturalization certificate or passport?
