EB3 India-Mar 2011 PD got GC in Sep21
Oct 17, 2021
2 last letters of the third word in my given name on the green card is missing.
My Green Card has my given name printed as 'Mad' instead of ‘Madan'. The last 2 letters 'an' of the 3rd word in my 1st name r missing. The total length in my 1st name including spaces is 20, but its trim to 18 including spaces, in all my immigration approvals and GC. Am I fine with the GC as it is now? And, will it be a problem now r later? like at port of entry, during naturalization, etc…
Is there like a character limit on the first name?
My first name should be xxxxxxx xxxxxx Madan (20 characters including 2 spaces), but is printed as xxxxxxx xxxxxx Mad (18 characters including 2 spaces).
My last name and other details are perfect!

you will have to correct it now so you don’t have a problem in the future

I believe there is an 18 character limit for 1st and another 18 for middle and another 18 for last and can’t be visible on card and what you have on your card will be appropriate and won’t give you any future issues.

same here, my middle name has missing letters but officer said it’s ok because greencard can’t input too much letters on it,

I had a similar concern as well since my last 2 letters of the 2nd name were missing as well but my lawyer assured me it won’t be an issue
