Name change

[Vladislav667 60]

Hello! My fiancé was adopted when he was like 2 y.o.  Due to the problems with his adoptive family he doesn’t even know anything about his real parents and also his last name before adoption. So, there’s a requirement for i-129f to give them evidence of legal name change. But we just simply don’t have one. What do you think?

 

Thank you

Don't worry about it.   Start from the adoption papers forward.   Many adoptees don't even know they are adopted let alone know anything about the birth parents

Hello!

I’d suggest that you start from the moment he got papers that allowed him to be recognized as an adoptee, since before that everything seemed to be unclear as for the biological parents, like you said. 

Have a great journey!

Yeah but the problem is that his adoptive parents aren’t good people and don’t let him get any documents

You will not be successful with the K1 process without legal identification documents like those adoption papers.  Tell your fiance to get those documents from his parents or find out where he was adopted from and get a copy of his adoption papers from there.  Or maybe his government has a civil registry or something where he could get a copy.

Just reviewed OP's post history.  Seems OP is the beneficiary.

 

OP, please clarify -- is your fiance the USC petitioner?  If so, he just needs his US passport.  Does he have one?  The legal name change document is only required if he uses a name different from the one on his passport.
