N-400 question

[bryonm4 0]

I have a few questions that I couldn’t find the answers to anywhere.

You have to send in 2 passport type photos with your N-400. It says to lightly print your name on the back with pencil. Since my wife is doing the name change on the N-400 should she use here soon to be new name and put that on the back of the photo or her current name?

On the form it asks for the name as it appears on her Resident card. On the front of the card it’s got her First Name then a space then Middle Initial as the given name and her Surname as her last name. Hover on the back of the card where it has those 3 lines of numbers and names it’s got her name as follows

Last Name<<First Name without the middle initial<<Full Middle Name

So would I put on the form her name as it appears on the back because that it is in the correct format?

1) No, write her current name on the back of the photos, not the name she will be changing to. Until she is granted citizenship and the judge grants her a name change (at her oath ceremony), she is still considered to have her old name. Only use the intended new name in the 'name change' field of the application form.

2) Not entirely clear about what you mean. Let's say her name is Mary Jane Smith. So the front of her green card says Mary J Smith, but the back spells out the whole name? If so, yes, I think it would be fine to use the entire name in the respective fields: 'Mary' for first name, 'Jane' for middle, 'Smith' for family name.

Best of luck with your wife's application.

Thanks for the help.

It list for her First name as Tran L on the front then on the back list Tran then her middle name separate as Le. The front only has a spot for the Surname and Given name but not the middle name.

We are mailing out Monday and live in North Dakota from what I heard it takes about 3 months from the time we mail out to the time she takes the test.

Without Visa Journey we would have never made it this far. Thanks again.

I filed for my wife back in December and list my son on her N400 and also sent a copy of my son's birth certificate. During her interview they did ask her about my son, and told them it was her stepson. She passed her interview, now we go for her oath ceremony on the 11th of April.

Thanks Nadiia & Eric, i confused that because my new form N400 ask about " Your children" so his son is not my baby, i wonder that do i need to fill in or not .

Part 10, the Indicate your total number of children F. current step-children will be listed E. Children living with you or else where. So you would include his children.
