Hello all,
I would sincerely appreciate any input and advice you have regarding this situation:
At the time that we submitted our I-129f, my fiance (beneficiary) was already in the process of legally change his name, so I went ahead and included the name he intended to change his to on the form - and also included his current name in the "Other names used" field. His name change has now been officially approved and he is now in the process of getting a new national ID and passport (with his new name).
These are my questions/concerns:
-Is it important that he also get the name on his birth certificate officially changed, or is it sufficient if we skip the birth certificate and just include some form of explanation/affidavit when he goes to the embassy for his interview?
-Is it problematic that I wrote his (new) name(s) on the I-129 before those changes legally took effect?
-If he changes all his documents (national ID, passport, and birth certificate) do we need to bother mentioning any name change at all? (he has never traveled to the US before, so I don't know if State would know one way or another)
Is there anything else that I should be taking in to consideration here?
Thank you very much,
Corinne
