Hi everyone! I am about to file for my naturalization but i have this problem with my name. Lets say hypothetically, my legal name or name on birth certificate is John Paul G. Martin. On my GC it only says John G. Martin but DOB is still the same. Will this cause any problems? I'm worried that my N-400 will get denied because of the discrepancy. What do you guys think?? Oh, and thanks in advance!
 
It's not a problem, as long as you list the information accurately on the N-400. It's such a common situation that they designed the N-400 questions to accommodate it. There is one question for your legal name, and another for the name as displayed on the green card. Answer each accordingly and you'll be OK.
