Here's the deal, last year I was issued a visitor's visa, but not thinking I changed back to my old name for immigration reasons.

 

Due to Norwegians not being able to pronounce my name correctly I had it changed in 2005.  Let's just say it was "Johnny B. Good" and I changed it to "Johnny Not Bad".  Well, I've changed it back to "Johnny B. Good" but my issued Visa is in my other passport under the name of "Johnny Not Bad".  

 

From what I have understood, is that if I bring both passports and legal documentation of the name change this should be no issue?

 

So if I arrive at the border with my old passport with old name and my new passport WITH official documentation of name change should that cause me any issues?

 

Or do I need to fully re-apply for a new Visa? Or can I just send my old one in with name change documentation?  I've called the U.S. Embassy but the nice lady had a very thick Indian accent and I had a very hard time understanding what she had to say.  I really do not want to go through a whole new Visa interview process again honestly.
