Hey guys! So I requested a legal name change when I applied for citizenship and it was approved. I am filling out a DS-11 form and it says "Previous names used". Will the old name be displayed on the passport as well or only the new name? I really do not want the old name, lol. For what it is worth, it is a completely different name, both first and last. TIA!!!

Hello!!! So my Oath ceremony is 9/13. I have two minor children, who will derive citizenship from me. Obviously only I, the adult, is taking the Oath the letter states bring all Green cards/Visas/any document that USCIS has issued you related to your alien status. Ok... what about the kids' green cards? I would think no (?) Because this is about the adult but I thought I would ask. Also, after your Oath, what paperwork do you fill out to get your minor kids the derived citizenship? To clarify: yes the minors become citizens when the adult becomes one but it is not magically updated somewhere. There is paperwork the adult citizen has to fill out, just like if you had a baby with an American and they got citizenship from the parent. Any idea what kind of paperwork and where you file that? TIA

I read many experiences, here and on reddit, but one question... I could not find an answer to (except in very old, pre-COVID and, probably, by now, irrelevant posts). So figured I could ask here. Here goes: What time was listed in your Oath letter, and what time did you leave the building (after the ceremony)? (want to schedule an appointment after my ceremony, so some actual data points would be super-useful) Thanks in advance...

I am scheduled to take the oath in 2 weeks. I strongly suspect the Naturalization Certificate will state that I am "divorced". Well, I think this is wrong - as my marriage has been annulled (the officer at the naturalization interview had the annulment decree in front of him - but said there was no checkbox for annulment in the form he had on his computer, so he checked "divorced". I believe he was in error" - he should have checked "single", but did not want to start a fight). I can try explaining that at my oath ceremony, when they ask you to check for errors in the certificate. Assuming - and this is a big if - that they agree to change the thing, can they do it right there and then (essentially print a new certificate)? Or they will tell me "You are right. We will change it. But not now. Hence you are not leaving this building w/ a certificate today. We will mail one to you shortly". The thing is, I do not want to have to wait! If it is going to take another month to get the "correct" certificate, I'd rather get one now, even w/ the "wrong" marital status. Waiting longer means waiting longer for a passport, and I am just not in the mood. Does anybody have any first/second hand experience? (I will be taking the oath at the NYC office, downtown Manhattan).

Legal name change N-400 |

Hello again! So I requested a legal name change with my N-400. Passed interview and now I am waiting on my Oath date. From what I gathered, I will take the Oath, turn in my green card(s), get a certificate of naturalization with a photo and my new name, correct? Then what do I do? I mean, in your personal experience, in what order do I go about changing the name in everything? (And I do need a passport? I am not planning on traveling anywhere and my drivers license has the Star on it anyway). Can you order copies of the certificate of naturalization? Is it true that you must send the original certificate to get a passport and then trust they will return it? Do I need to let my employer know I am now a citizen? (Does it matter?) Anything else you did after you became a citizen? TIA!!
