In 1993 my brother changed his name legally (he has a court paper on that), but he did not change his name on the passport until 2003. In 2000 when I filed I-130 for him under "Name" I wrote down his old name. Under "Other Names Used" I wrote down his new name. His I-130 was approved.

My question will be for when the priority number becomes current (in about 5 year or so). When the priority number becomes current, will it be a problem that I used his old name on the I-130? Will the record in the USCIS/NVC be under his old name ? At that time when the case is processed in the consulate, we are planning to use his new name, will that clash with the record the USCIS have ? Will they say, oh, you did not file the I-130 using this new name ?

Thanks

Note: Now we are waiting for the visa number to be current.

Thanks, that was my own posting on another forum. I did not get the answer in there. Does anybody know the answer ? Thanks
