Name Change and Documents

[mayfliesmayfly 0]

I'm gathering my information for my fiances K-1 Visa.

He's from a poor Lao family, and so there aren't too many documents for him. For example, he has no birth certificate. He actually doesn't even have a last name.

His family lost all of the documents they did have before, and recently had to make them again. So earlier this month, he used these new documents to get a new ID and passport. However, his name was misspelled on the document and he has been using this new name since then.

All of the things that I have written to him have his original name (the one that isn't on any of his documents).

For the I-129F they ask for legal proof of name change, of which there isn't. And I mentioned it on the forms where they ask if there are any other names used.

I was thinking about just adding a page explaining this.

Suggestions? Thoughts?

Thank you!

Your best luck is to change his ID and family registry book again with his correct name. I know Laos doesn't have any legal documents supporting name changes. Your would also have to get his birth certificate by buying a form from the local printshop and have the village chief, mukng and the police chidf sign it.

Should I have him do all of that before I submit the I-129F form?

It means he would have to change his passport, too. Is that possible?
