G325a question: biographic info and birth certificate info

[chrissiemissie 0]

hi all!!

perhaps this question is irrelevant as the problem may be so minor, but just double-checking to see what all you VJers think:

on my US birth certificate, my mom's original Korean name is listed. and just like 5 years ago, she finally legally changed her name to her American/English name--which is what I will be listing on the G325a.

should i include her name change document just so they don't think i'm lying on the G325a? or is it really not that important to even address it in my I-130 package?

thank you all who can offer some insight!!

It ask for her Maiden name, put her maiden name on it, and that should be the name on your birth cert too. Right?

hi beth!! hmm, yes you're right about her last name. but let's see on my birth certificate it says "Hye Suk Yi", on the G325a I put "Susanne DeBacker, maiden name Yi". so because there's no link between "Hye Suk" and "Susanne", should i include her name change certificate which she did relatively recently (and not at her marriage and not at her immigration)? or is just obvious and will it not at all be question.... *worry* *worry*

Okay, on the MAIDEN name part: Put her maiden name, same one as on your birth cert. But above MAIDEN name, put her current/legal name as her family name. And yeah I would put her name change certificate in this for just in case, I rather be safe then sorry, but that is just me. Yeah worry, worry is part of USCIS. I hope I have answered your question and did not confuse you .

yes, got it. :) thank you for your help!

so for my mother's name: while the birth certificate says "Hye Suk Yi", the G325a will say "Susanne DeBacker/Yi". and i will include the name change document...

but where do you guys think i could include an explanation? like maybe a short note printed out and attached to the photocopy of the name change document??? hmhmhm.

hearts to you all for your wonderful advice and support!
