Odd Request for Evidence

[himanshu.pnt 2]

My fiancee (us citizen) just received the mail containing my RFE. She had submitted her naturalization certificate for her name change evidence

The notice says that she needs to submit a legible copy of name change evidence as her name is different on her naturalization certificate and passport.

However, her naturalization certificate has both the names in the format - old name AKA new name, on it and it should be sufficient evidence. In the notice USCIS has sent, they have even wrongly typed

the previous name.

This is really frustrating as she doesn't have any other documentation to provide for her name change. What should be our next steps, has anyone else faced the same situation?

Thanks

I personally submitted the marriage certificate that shows my name changes.

I didn't quite understand your post- are you saying that both certificate and passport have the names exactly match? Or the naturalization certificate has a name (old) that is simply a part of a new name on passport

like:

certificate: Jane Doe

passport: Jane Doe Smith

If the names do not match, she has to submit the document based on what she changed the name.

At the time she was naturalized, she was a dependent and that's why there is no other document provided to her then the naturalization certificate. The naturalization certificate

mentions both her names like this > "old name" AKA "new name". She has all her documents, bank account, degree, passport on her new name so it's really odd to ask for another legal document, which

she doesn't have.

it would be un-necessary expense if she has to go the court and now apply for name change, just to get another document. We are trying to find out what we can do and if by law, USCIS can accept or not, the naturalization

certificate as a legal document. There are some friends, who used the same certificate in the past to sponsor their fiancee's and got it done without any issues, so I wonder if the person checking our documents reviewed it properly or not.
