OK, so I have a problem that is a little complicated. Thanks to anyone who might be able to shine some light on it.

 

I have both U.S. and Taiwan citizenship. Before naturalization, I use the translated name on my green card and social security card as my legal name in the U.S. (Let's call that name "A"). Then I had a legal name change during naturalization process to name "B" (basically just use name A as middle name and an English name as first name)

But as I was about to print my plane ticket (to China from Taiwan) for part of meeting-in-person evidence, I realized I forgot the fact that my translated name in my Taiwan passport, name "C", is different from name "A".

 

What do I do now? As I've only have evidence of court order to change from "A" to "B". I've never use "C" in the U.S.

I could provide copies of my Taiwan passport and my travel document to China that shows name "C" with my picture on it, but would that be problematic because that means I have dual citizenship?

 

The question is kinda long. Thank you to anyone that actually finishes reading it.

There is no US law prohibiting dual citizenship.

Dual citizenship and the the name mix up won’t affect you in regards to the proof of meeting requirement as plane tickets are secondary evidence of the in-person meeting requirement. We were RFE’d for that I had hotel receipts, plane tickets, pictures of us on the plane, etc. All they really wanted was proof we were in the same country at the same time, which was passport stamps, sent copies of our entire passports and then was approved 8 days later. So you’re fine
