Petitioning my MOM

[mrsartis 10]

.

They asked for a proof( photo I.D) that both last names are same person. Since I never used the mispelled last name on my BC, I sent the "Certificate of Finality" from NSO that was

issued when my dad filed a petition to correct the clerical errors in 2005. Note: USCIS doesn't accept AFFIDAVITS, they will need an Official document as a proof.

Trin, how to get a certificate of finality? they changed my mom's name and her birthdate as it was in her NSO record. She has MA. with all of our civil documents until she got her passport and found out it was MARIA, and her birthdate was totally different. we had it changed and there was a citation on the side of her marraige certificate.

Yes, I have heard about that law. And your mom can file a petition to correct the clerical error of your BC, have it changed from Shirley to Sharlie and may take up to 3 months, not sure tho maybe shorter coz of the new law. So, Your mom never used the name Shirley in any of her documents, I.D's right?

she used her name Shirley when she got married to my biological dad, but i don't know about the id's..Anyway, so we just talked the other night and she told me a year ago she got a mail from NSO and they informed her that she doesn't have any name registered on their file and that she needs to submit her bc and other documents from local civil registrar so she went to town to get the files looking for her birth certificate but they couldnt find the name shirley but they found her name is sharlie on her bc so maybe thats what she's been using for her id's i think, but she hasn't submit any documents to NSO yet until now. My mom had kids with my step dad and they had to get married because of them but thing is my step dad is not annulled with his former wife when they got married, so does that mean they're not legally married? (but they're still together) and so my mom is planning to get a late registration of her bc with her name SHIRLEY instead to match mine and also going to send me her marriage cert with my biological dad, and my dad's death cert. so when i petition her, her name would be Shirley and my biological dad's lastname. I'm still a bit confused and worried that what if they found out she was married with my step dad and she's carrying my dad's lastname?would it be an issue on filing my petition to her? because we planned to petition my siblings as well from my step dad once she gets her gc and another thing to worry because my siblings is carrying my stepdad's lastname and on their bc's my mom's name was Sharlie. (Sorry if i have mention too much details and for my long reply..)

Make sure to let your mom change the Sharlie to Shirley on her BC that way it will match the name on your BC and with your biological father's MC... Also, if her name on her ID's is Sharlie, she may need to change it to Shirley especially on her passport, NBI and Police Clearance soon.

if your Step dad's previous marriage has NOT been annulled that means his marriage with your mom is void. It's not really an issue if your mom is not legally married to your stepdad since you also mentioned that she is still using your biological dad's last name right? And yes, your mom can petition your siblings once she becomes a Permanent Resident. Though she will need to file the petition to correct the errors on their birth certicates and change Sharlie to Shirley.
