Hello,

Is there anyone here knows or have the same experience like mine? I got my oath Ceremony Notice/Letter on mail today. However, I notice that the name written on the Oath Ceremony Letter/Notice is my full MAIDEN NAME.

All the letters that i received on my N400 application was my married name even in my application form that I submitted to them, Now, I am very worried because my Oath Taking was scheduled on July 4, 2014 and I want to make sure that my Naturalization Certificate will be printed correctly.

I remember the USCIS officer that interviewed me ask if I want to change my name and I answered no because I've been using my married name in all my ID's including the N400 application form that I submitted.

However, he told me that if I will not change my name they will follow the name in my current Philippine Passport which has my Full Maiden Name.

Anyway, I told the uscis officer I want to use and reflect on my naturalization certificate is my Married Name and NOT my maiden name in my philippine passport so, he told me he corrected it on the form and I will do my name change.

Now, the Oath Ceremony Letter/Notice that I received in the mail today was my full maiden name and Im so worried why it was like that?? all the letters/notices that I received prior to oath ceremony schedule letter was in my married name.

Please help me what should I do??? or is this ok?? I am so worried and I want to make sure that my MARRIED NAME should reflect on my Naturalization Certificate.

When I took the Oath, they asked everyone to make sure they Naturalization Certificate had all the information correct before we left the venue. So you will have a chance at the Oath ceremony to correct the information, and my best guess is that they will mail you a corrected certificate if they cannot fix it onsite (and most likely they can't but I am not sure.)

Thank you for the input. I am very worried because I have a trip to Phils this August so Im hoping that I will have Passport asap. Also, I Am worried too because I dont want to pay any additional cost for this mistake. :(

Hi enzocute,

They sent you the oath ceremony letter with your OLD name since for them that is your legal name until you change it. You will change that name at the oath ceremony. You don't have anything to worry about. It happened to me in the same way.
