@snowberry That’s the craziest story. Lol. I guess the one positive about it is it is a story that is fairly entertaining. It makes me wonder if my husband had a driver’s license when he lived in Texas. He might have been too young. My husband only has two names in America.
So, what happens when you fly? Do you use your three names? Now everything has to match. Or, do you have a passport that’s correct and just use that as ID?
This sort of reminds me, but it’s different, that for years now I’ve been asking about my MIL’s name, because her full first name is two names and she has no middle name. I’ve always wondered if her official name is recorded that way, or as a first and middle name. I think it’s recorded as a first and middle, because she receives some documents with her first first name and then a middle initial.
I did my MIL’s citizenship paperwork several months ago, and I spent a half an hour with her about this. In the end she said she wanted it how her mom named her, two names for her first name and no middle initial.
Long story short, months later she goes for her interview and the official she’s meets with says the form is filled out wrong, supposedly multiple things, JL did it wrong. The official goes through the whole firm and enters everything into the computer. The name comes up, among other things, and I’m pretty sure she spaced out in her nervousness and it will be recorded as a first and middle. We’ll see.
I need to mention that we filled out paperwork for her and her husband all together. We did both the same. They both had interviews the same day. My FIL came out from the room all happy and everything was good. My FIL just became a citizen a month ago.
