UPDATE---NAME CHANGE

UPDATE---NAME CHANGE

So after a few days I couldn't handle the idea of losing my maiden name, so after discussing it with my previous immigration attorney, I have requested an infopass appointment to see if they can make a correction before the oath ceremony. I went today and they asked me to write a letter explaining the situation and letting them know which one is exactly the name that I want. The IO was very nice and she understood my concern and as much as I want to take my husband's last name, I want to be able to keep my maiden name. My father passed away and I feel weird if I am unable to use his last name, even if it is my middle name. So sorry...I am too sentimental...
The IO told me that adding my husband's last name will not be considered a legal name change, therefore an admin oath can be administered...I doubt that, but will give an update once I hear from them. She told me that they will call me to re-sign the application using the name that I want. I understand that this may delay the process, but I think they have no reason to deny it...I guess...I am not sure anymore. The day of the interview the IO gave me a form stating Congratulations, your application is recommended for approval.

I requested my name like this:

Name/Middle Name/Maiden Last Name/Husband's Last Name

Any input??
I appreciate it.

Anyone??

It's been two weeks and no update. My husband had the interview the same day and he has no news either.

Started to worry about whole name change...was it worth it?

I would appreciate any input.

Thanks.

You can keep your maiden last name as your middle name and add the husbands last name as your last name. This way you will keep both.
