Did he change his name?

 

We need a little bit back story to help 

Immigration journey is not: fast, for the faint at heart, easy, cheap, for the impatient nor right away. If more than 50% of this applies to you, best get off the bus.

Yes he changed his name because he changed religions.Everything is in his new name including american passport but his bithcertificate still has the old name.

I thought this wouldnt be an issue as his american passport has the new name but apparently it is

1. Where was he born?

 

2. In what country did he change his name?

Was his name changed as part of naturalization in the US? Perhaps a FOIA request could help? Do you have a copy of his naturalization certificate?

He was born in the USA and his birth certificate is from usa.he changed his name in Kenya.Unfortunately i dont have any government records to show.

To change his name on his U.S. passport he needed to show a change of name document.

 

Do you live in Kenya?

Yes i live in Kenya. And he changed his name in Kenya.

Then you should try to get his change of name documents from appropriate authority in Kenya. The news article I linked mentions a couple agencies you could try.

1. Does your birth certificate list his old name or his new name?

 

2. Does he have any surviving siblings?
