Hmm. I'm wondering the same. I never legally changed my name on anything - SSN, driver's license still have maiden name. But all the notices from USCIS have my married name, because my dumbass wrote my current legal name as FirstName MiddleName MarriedName. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

Won't you be able to change it at the interview?

They asked me and my dumbass flaked cause I think I can use my judgement for it.

Hehe! You're gonna do the change after your ceremony? That carries a fee, no?

I really don't wanna have to change every piece of paper with my current name - I never changed my name and now I don't wanna.

See, that's what I don't know. Should I even change it?

Hey guys,

 

had a interview today. Went very smooth. Quick easy questions. Told me i passed

but……. Lol. They dint receive my full file . SMH. I dint have the ceremony today because of that. The IO was super nice

and told me he will email

to get the file expedited. Apparently they are in a transition to get everything digital and he could only see half of my file. So gotta wait 7-14 days to get another update. Relieved but not happy.

I guess its up to you and a personal choice - I want to change mine cuz I never wanted to change my name to marriage, I added his last name onto mine for banking and work.

I'm going back to mine whenever I have the opportunity.

Congrats! Glad you had the chance to do your ceremony same day, sucks that you gotta wait! Was it an early interiew?

Now I'm ever more excited/nervous. 

Mine is 8am, and in the past (like 2-3 years ago) Philadelphia used to do same day interview/oath ceremonies. I didn't find anything recent but I'm holding out hope.

 

Fingers crossed they get your complete file and get your case settled and certificate in hand soon. Congrats again.

I want to if I can without paying s**t LOL Do I need to update the certificate if I go to the SSA and change my name?

ugh, everything i'm seeing so far shows that you'd have to pay a fee if it's not changed at interview  about $450

unless i'm mistaken - at the interview itself is when you'd change.. or if your ceremony is at a courthouse in front of a judge.

There is no name change service here in Portland OR anymore due to covid and staff shortage

(I was thinking to have my name changed, but to do so, I have to go to court before the civil interview, so I give up)

so just be really sure which name you going to use and put on certificate

you need certificate to apply the US passport, and to replace a new certificate will cost you over $500
