US Immigration from India

Hello all!

We got our K1 issued and now going thru the AOS process here in the US.

For the K1, we did not mention any middle name in the the I-129F petition. The Indian passport and birth certificate also did not any middle name, rather name, father s name and mother s name.

In the US (CA state) marriage certificate however, we listed the middle name. Additionally, we also asked for a name change with new name still containing a middle name.

We had some questions:

1. When filing for I-485 and I-765, should we list a middle name?

2. What is the significance of providing and not providing a middle name?

Hello,

My visa interview at Montreal, Canada is scheduled and I'm submitting request for the courier service and one of the questions asked in the form is "Country of Permanent Residence". I'm an Indian national currently living in Canada as a worker and has Canadian work permit. Since I'm in Canada as a legal resident, I choose Montreal as my interview location and received it as is. My question is, what should be the answer to the question "Country of Permanent Residence" asked in the interview scheduling confirmation form? Since I'm not a Canadian permanent resident, will it cause any issue in my interview location if I choose India as the answer? Thanks in advance!

Howdy Everyone!

Hi there!

We have mailed I-129F /K3 for spouse after filing I-130 . We mailed the K3 to the service center to which my I-130 is assigned but they assigned my K3 to another service center. Is that possible ?

So my fiance wanted to take my last name, and also change his first name to be more Americanized. (He already chosen that before we started the K1 process. I told him to hold off until marriage, since it would be a little easier).

Having gone through legal name change myself (using court order) 10 years ago, I think the procedure is, after the marriage,

1. He has to apply for a new Indian passport? Any documentation needed? Will marriage certificate have both new and old name?

2. Update USCIS record somehow? or just do it together with adjustment of status?

3. Can he apply for SSN right after marriage, since technically will he have the right to work being spouse of US citizen? Or he has to wait until the adjustment of status is processed?

(No rude comments please. Just need legally acceptable answers.)
