hi

its almost time for my wife's N400 and i need a couple questions answered if anyone knows. my first question is how soon can we file? i know its 90 days before, is it 90 calendar days or 90 business days? her green card issue date is 02/10/09. my next question is, can we change her name on the N400? we never did change her name on her green card or anything else, its still her maiden name, so do we just put her new name or is there another form we need to fill out?

It is 90 calendar days. Use the USCIS calculator to get your earliest filing date: http://www.uscis.gov...Calculator.html

Regarding the name change, are you saying that her name has changed while she was an LPR but you never informed USCIS about it? I am not sure, but I would check with USCIS if you had to get an updated greencard with her new name or not.

She can choose to be reborn as an American with any name she wants, within reason. ANY name she wants, first, middle, and last name.

She will fill in her new name in Part 1, Number D, and during the interview the I.O. will print out 3 forms which she will sign with her new name. One of the forms stays with USCIS, the second one stays at the country registrar's office, and the third form she will find attached to her Certificate of Naturalization which, or course, will also be in her new name.
