Missing Hyphen From Name
Hi guys, I recently received my receipt/extension letter from USCIS. I hyphenated my husband’s last name to my original last name however the letter is missing the hyphen. Example: Mary Powell Smith instead of Mary Powell-Smith.
Do you guys think that this will be an issue especially if I try to travel? Should I reach out to them to correct it or will this cause my case to be prolonged? Any advice will be appreciated.

I don’t think so bcz my last name got hypen normally but USCIS didn’t hyphenated it. You should be fine

And I submitted mine without hyphen and they hyphenated it 🥴

it’ll be an issue every single time you re-enter the country.

will not be an issue as long as both names are there

as a husband he might take offense 🙀 but otherwise it will, usually, not cause a problem

my first two names are hyphenated on my home country passport but not on my GC. depending on where you try to re-enter, I find that If I use the automated system(at this one airport) it usually always rejects me until I see an immigration officer. it might not even be the reason who knows.

@Lawrence lol my husband doesn’t care. I actually recently added his name though we’ve been married for a bit. Different strokes for different folks 😊 Thanks for your responses
