Name change of Mother in Law

[PlingPlong 2]

It might be an odd question, but I'm not quite sure how to treat my mother in law's first name change.

She immigrated to the US from Vietnam in 2001 and when she became a citizen, she changed her name from let's say Tuyen-Ha Nguyen to let's say Stephanie Nguyen.

She works in a profession where she has to deal with many non Asian customers and they had trouble pronouncing her name correctly, hence the change.

Now is on our marriage certificate her birth name (Tuyen-Ha) because it explicitly asked for that and not the current name.

My question is, what should I write into the G-325A field that asks for the mother's given name?

I would have written "Stephanie" since "Tuyen-Ha" doesn't exist anymore.

I'm somewhat worried though that this will lead to a denial or RFE if they notice, because Stephanie =/= Tuyen-Ha.

If anybody has been in a similar situation, any input would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

when submitting the I-130 packet,

include a continuation sheet on the G-325A,

and in the block on the G-325A, write 'see continuation sheet'.

Then on the continuation sheet, write a paragraph, narrative of what you've just described, and include photocopies of stuff:

1. her birth certificate (if available)

2. legal name change document from the court that handled it.

Thank you so much, Darnell.
