My wife who is from the Philippines just completed naturalization. When we married her middle name was changed from her mother's maiden name to her fathers last name. This was done in a civil ceremony in the country court house. Her 10 year green card had this new name format as does our marriage certificate , her social security card, driver's license etc. USCIS said at the oath ceremony that they had to use the her middle name from her birth certificate or the process would be greatly delayed and have to go to court for a name change.   My wife did not question this , she was very nervous at the interview. My understanding is that the marriage name change was a legal name change. We provided the marriage  certificate in the N-400 on line application. After the ceremony (which I could not attend due to covid restrictions) I went into the USCIS office and spoke to an officer who said this is how it's done.

 

Is this correct? Anyone know how I can get this corrected?

Marriage certificate itself is the evidence of name change for LAST Name only that too only if taking spouse's last name. Any other name changes should go through judicial proceedings.
