Hi,

My immigrant wife and I (US Citizen) were wondering what was needed for changing my immigrant stepsons last name?

Next month he will be elgible to file his I-751. He couldn't file with his mother because his 2 year conditional GC took 4 month longer to process than hers did. Therefore we were told that he had to file a seperate application and pay a seperate fee. My wife's application is already in process.

His bioligical father died when we was 2 years old and he has no contact with that side of his family whom all live in his native country, Mexico.

After we were married my wife took my last name. And her GC has my last name on it.

Immigrant Son has the traditional Spanish Father-Mother Maiden hypenated lastname on his GC.

We have a new baby on the way also and would like for everyone to have the same family name to make things simple.

Immigrant Son is 10 years old and he has no problem with it.

So is this possible to do during the I-751 process?

What evidence would be needed to submit?

Will it cause more problems that it is worth?

Please advise.
