Hello everyone,
I had my Citizenship interview today, passed the tests, and my application is recommended for approval. I do have a concern though..
When we started discussing the changing name part, the Immigration Officer said that she s going to go ahead and change my middle name legally. She said where I m from, the Philippines, we tend to make our last name our middle/maiden name once marrying which is true. She said they were instructed to legally change all Filipinas middle name when it comes to the Citizenship interview.
It made sense when I was at the interview but now that I think about it, I m starting to worry. I questioned the IO multiple times but I felt like she was lowkey starting to get annoyed.
When I got married, I made my father s last name as my maiden name and took my husband s last name.
e.g
from Maria Adona Torres
to Maria Torres Villareal
Adona - Mother s maiden name
Torres - Father s last name
Villareal - Husband s last name
On the system where I signed, it was like below:
Current name: Maria Adona Villareal
changing to: Maria Torres Villareal
where Maria Torres Villareal is really my current name and has always been ever since I got married.
I m worried that she made a mistake and that now, I have 3 name changes in the system...
