name in I94 doesn't have a space between words !!!

Hi,

My Name is Akshaj Kumar Putta.

Surname : Putta

First Name : Akshaj Kumar

My passport and I797 have the proper name. But my I94 lists first name as AkshajKumar. Notice the space missing between Akshaj and Kumar.

I tried applying for SSN and they say they would give my SSN with first name as in I94. Can you please guide on how I can get it changed.

Thanks in Advance,

Akshaj.

Hi, I wrote to CBP telling them about the same. I got a reply in 15-20 days that they corrected it. I think took the new I94 with correct name to SSN office and got it corrected.

I can also suggest the same to you.

That’s common, no need to worry.

Generally they treat kumar as middle name as the first name cant have spaces in US in general

You are good, no need to worry about it

hi bro even i have the same problem.

Better register and then ask them. Attach supporting docs like your I94 and passport if possible.

hi bro i have recieved my ssn card and there is no space between two words in my first name in both ssn card and i-94 where as in passport there is a space between two words in my first name(total 17 characters including space) but ssn card accept only 16 characters in the first name. do need to request CBP to change the name or is it ok if there is no space between words in the firstname.??

i have applied for ssn card
my first name on passport:
RAGHUNANDAN REDDY

my first name on ssn card
RAGHUNANDANREDDY

The ssn ppl removed space between the words because they said only 16characters are allowed in the first name.

now iam applying for OPT will that be a problem or is it ok?
