Do we need to consult an immigration attrony?

[July-lucky 0]

Hey fellow members,

First of all I would like to thank you all for taking the time to read this.

As you know I am the beneficiary of a K1 visa. I am originally from Ethiopia,have been residing in the UK for a few years and I am now a naturalised british citizen.

In my country origin we use our father's 1st name as a surname. When birth certificate are issued, they would put your 1st name then your father's first name

(Surname to us) followed by your grandfather's 1st name as your full name. For ppl that are not from Ethiopia it would seem as if I have a given middle name which I dont. My birth certificate is the only document that has listed my grandfather's name after my surname. All other documents e.g. Passport, school etc. all have listed my name and surname only.

Here are my questions.

1) On form G-325a it asks all other names used, I wrote down NONE. Do you think I should of put down full name as listed on my birth certificate.

2) on D-230, Q3. It asks for full name in native alphabet,

Do you think I should put my full name as in birth certificate or passport?

3) do you think the fact that name on mypassport dont match to my birth certificate

might cause a problem at the consulate stage ? . do I need to write same person, one person affidavit? Or Do we need to consultan an immigration attrony? Please share your knowledges and experiences on this matter. And how you delt with them

Thanks very much in advance. God bless!

Put the one in your Birth cert because they will see it ANYWAY..you don't want to put your self in a position ...

Consult an immigration attorney only if you are absolutely sure that you will not be able to go through the petition on your own, and/or you have some moneys which need laundering.

If I were you I would list all names....you shouldnt put "none" because in fact you have other names. It is better to do it that way instead of having immigration thinking you are trying to keep something from them....good luck

Thanks everyone for your responses. The thing is We have already sent those forms and have been approved. Is there a way of correcting things after approval from uscis?

2) my other question was if anyone has ever delt with discrepancy of name on birth certificate and passport? If so how have you or someone else resolved the problem. Thanks

So much. God bless.

We had a name inconsistency problem (switched middle and first names). They would not even interview us until they matched.

If you are in the UK they might be nicer about it. Do you have some document that shows how/why the names are different? I would provide that document if you have it.

Well if you do decide to consult an immigration attorney, call Marc Ellis www.marcellislaw.com, but this sounds like something you can fix on your own.
