My mother's name is different than the one in my birth certificate

Hey all,

 

I know that once you obtain your NOA2 you have to also include your original birth certificate to the interview. However, my parents are divorced and my mother has had a name change since the name she has registered on my birth certificate. Here's another thing, my mother also changed my name which means my current legal name is different from the name on my birth certificate. I have my deed poll to show my name change, but I wonder if I would need to bring my mother's deed poll to the interview as well? Because in the i-129F packet my fiance has to enter my mother's current name but I wonder if the consulate officers would wonder why my mother's name differs on the birth certificate versus i-129F form.

Not sure what country you’re in. The same thing happened to me. 

My mothers first name in my birth certificate is incorrect. My grandmother told her it was spelt a certain way until she turned 19, and told her it was spelt differently. She then changed everything into this second name (banks, passport etc). 2 years ago she ordered a copy of her birth certificate and realised it was totally different. She had to get it changed to the second name by deed poll.

Anyhow, I went to the registration office and it had to be sent off to the main one In Portsmouth for approval. They charged me £90 for this (not cheap) plus £15 for a new copy of my birth certificate.

The annoying thing is,they would only link it to the name on her birth certificate, not the second name what she goes by, but I will be taking in my birth certificate that now has a note at the bottom stating she was “previously known as....” and then I have her name change by deed document.

 

i dont know if they they will notice, but I have my interview next week so feel free to msg me.

 

FYI. it took me about 3 weeks to get this done, but that was only because I had to keep calling to stress how quickly I needed it, or it would have taken some 6 weeks. 

 

I searched all over the forum to see if anyone else had been in a similar situation, but couldn’t find anything. 

 

Other have taken their own deep poll regarding their own name, I would also take your mothers.
