Curious question for everyone. I have all qualifications necessary for DTV, however my bank documents show first initial, middle initial and last name. Whereas all other docs show full first, middle, last. I've seen people getting rejections because of documents being inconsistent. Has anyone been able to submit documents with first/middle initials and last name without a problem? Just happens to be the way the banks & government do EVERYTHING where I live (never a full name)

TLDR : Answer Summary
The original question raises concerns about using bank documents that contain a first initial and middle initial with a last name, while other documents show the full name. Community responses indicate that having initials on bank statements generally does not pose a problem for DTV visa approvals, as long as the name on the application matches the name on the passport. It's suggested to provide an explanation letter if necessary and to ensure consistency between key documents.

It's no problem with bank statements. The problems arise with passport name aligning with application name

Worst case you get the documents notarized

Just make sure your passport name is the same as your application name. That is where lots of errors/cancellations happen

You can add explanation letter

I submitted bank statements and other forms with different name forms as you mentioned. No issue getting approved. The name rejection thing is more to do with a mismatch with the name on the application and passport.
