Name change

[mehra 0]

Does anybody know how much more time( week-month..) name change adds to your routine citizenship process?I know if you decide to change your name you have to go through court ceremony and that will take a while.

If someone become dual citizen after changinging name how that person book his/her airline ticket after changing name ie. under his/her old name or new name because it could be an issue when you travel to your previous country with your old passport ( old name) and come back to US with your new name and passport so your ticket should match either way.People asked this question before but I couldn't find any clear answer.

Wife is using her maiden name on her former country passport, actually it more fun for me to travel with my old girlfriend than with my wife. They want a huge fortune to change her passport to her married name. Screw them, bad enough the DOS still makes her maintain that passport as well as her home country.

That's no problem, we buy her ticket in her married name use that to leave and enter her home country. But as you know, that is history, have to walk to their POE where she presents her home country passport, then again when leaving. Bury that passport and show the US passport at the airline counter.

Regarding the name change, if marriage, your marriage certificate is all you need. But my wife insisted on tacking on her maiden name that we used for the AOS and conditional, but they let her drop that for citizenship without any problems or court orders. Ha, took her awhile to realize we don't do that here. Only other place her maiden name was tacked on was her SS card, everything else, drivers' license, all of our bank accounts, car titles, etc., wasn't enough space to put that in. SS had no problems in dropping her maiden name.

Now if you want to change your first and middle names or even your surname, then you have to go to court.
