    Yep, I never understood governments issuing amended birth certificates when person changes name later in life. And especially I know some countries issuing birth certificates when somebody naturalizes in their jurisdiction! Doesn't make any sense... You're born in a particular place, with particular name and particular DOB. You can change these later in life, but whatever is on birth certificate should remain the same, it's a snapshot of your info at time of birth in my opinion.

    Sorry you're still waiting, it must be stressful. What action would that be? Lawsuit?

    At my oath ceremony, somebody was asked to surrender previously expired GC and EADs.

    IMHO chance of being rejected at preclearance is much higher than on US soil. But I doubt OP would even get to preclearance, most likely would be bounced off at airline desk before even reaching CBP? Others with experience can comment, I've never been in this situation thankfully.

    Exactly, one of my parents is also deceased and I had to write that.
  6. OldUser
    That's true

    I don't think airline would allow to board the plane without extension letter. If OP had an expired 10 year GC, they'd have more luck boarding the plane without extension letter

    For eligibility, it doesn't matter when it's looked at. It matters when it was filed. I would advise NOT filing it before 3 year anniversary, not even a day before, to avoid possible denial. I would file it online few days after 3 year anniversary of being LPR or 3 year of living with US citizen spouse (who has been a citizen for 3+ years) whichever is later

    Yes, it is a waiting game. The only thing that can nudge USCIS would be Writ of Mandamus

    Depends on visa they're on and how much time they were given by CBP when entering the US. You cannot plan adjustment because it would be fraud.

    Can be safely ignored. Estimates provided by MyProgress are always wrong.

    Unless somebody is really sloppy and makes obvious mistakes despite VJ guides and advices given here. In this case, IMO, lawyer is worth it

    Oh man, countries with such rules make it really difficult for an immigrant! I'd never change my name in USA if my country of origin would have made it difficult or impossible to do it.

    MyProgress can be safely ignored. It showed 3 weeks until decision on day of my oath. I don't know what decision it referred to. It's a buggy software that goes down all the time (disappears) and comes back with random numbers.

    I'm really sorry for your loss @Diamond-hearts. Keep us posted!

    Read it again, even I can see it from limited info you posted. Please hire a lawyer if this is difficult or confusing. You don't want to make mistakes / delay it further.
  19. OldUser
    No you're not correct on this. Are you sure you don't need legal help?
  20. OldUser
    That lady told you a lie. Was she a notario? Don't ever pay notarios, they harm more than they help. Changing name does not make things easier by definition. The easiest is keeping the same name, always. Next time, please research the process yourself (you can ask VJ for help) or pay a real lawyer. Paying notarios, paralegal online services is a bad idea. They don't care about your case and they lack education in the subject.

    G-28 is to be completed by a lawyer. Do you have a lawyer @Sunny3?
  22. OldUser
    Agreed. No need to list temporary stays on vacations etc. Only places where you lived. Of course, if you didn't have lease / owned property and lived in AirBnbs, that's different. Then you list those because that was your only residence

    I don't think it's comparable. I'd say large percentage of Slavic people include their patronymic as middle name, while other significant other portion of them don't. The ones who don't include, argue middle name and patronymic are different and often not included in English documents like international passport. Historically USCIS doesn't have issue with either or these approaches. But I think middle name is middle name in English speaking countries and may require actual name change docs other than marriage cert.
  24. OldUser
    Was her middle name / patronymic name changed as part of taking married name? If not, we're comparing apples to oranges. The key issue in OP's case seems to be trying to modify middle name.
