My wife and my step daughter both recieved their advance parole document .

My wife wants to travel to her native country to visit family and to change her daughter’s surname. Her daughter has her biological father’s name in her passport . 

Will this be a big problem with CBP re-entering if my step daughter has her surname legally changed in her native country and her passport has a different surname than what is on her Advance Parole document ?

I am very concerned about this . Both my wife and I want her surname changed but I’m thinking this will cause am issue with CBP.

 

i welcome your advice on opinions.

As long as she has the relevant documentation showing all of this then it won't be an issue.

Do you mean the documentation from her native country showing her surname being changed ? 

If yes, should we get the name change documents translated into English ?

Yes, the documents in her native country showing the surname being changed and it officially translated into English so that there is no issue.

Yes.......she needs something that connects the dots....or, in this case, her names....in English..
