Hello everyone. I'm sorry I'm gonna go strict to the subject cause my mood isn't really good I'm so confused. is it possible to claim to the USCIS that a baby was born in the US and the parents need to change his name to the father's name ( who is the foreign person ) ? the mother still have her ex husband's name and we don't want him to have that name. please can anybody tell me if there is something we can do ? considering that the visa isn't yet issued. thank you.

Are you saying the baby is already born and has the ex's surname?

USCIS has nothing to do with changing the child's name. USCIS does not have the power to change a child's name.

Where was the baby born? What do you mean by "claim ... Baby was born in the US?" Where is the baby right now?

So you are saying the child was born in the US but the mother gave the child the ex-husband's last name. Now you want to change the name to the new spouse's last name. Most likely the mother would have to file a legal document for a legal name change for the child in the US court where she lives. Changing the name of the child will do nothing to change the father's name on the birth certificate nor will it establish paternity for the child.

As far as the immigration paperwork is concerned the name listed for the child will be the child's legal name at the time the paperwork if filed. If the name is legally changed then a certified copy of the document can be sent to them so they can update the information.

Changing a child's last name goes one of two ways. Adoption or paternity test to change it on the birth cert if a father other than the current husband is listed....pick the one that suits your needs.

If the mother just has her ex husbands legal last name and is remarried NOT taking new husbands name, simply put the child's biological father/ new husband on the birth cert and list that last name for the baby.
