Mom Birth certificates problem in Bringing Family Members of US Citizens to America Posted May 19, 2016 Hi, I have the same problem with my mom. She is using a current name(Cheryl)that is different from her birth certificate. Her name in my birth certificate(Ma. Theresa) I'm guessing it is the same name that she uses in her birth certificate. My sisters birth certificate says that my mom is using the Cheryl name. All her supporting ID and school records are in Cheryl name. She said they didn't change her name legally. They just change it when she enters elementary school. We still have to check her marriage certificate on which name she use. Now, I am the one petitioning her to come to the US. Is it easier and faster to just follow the name in her birth certificate? (keep in mind that my birth certificate says Ma. Theresa as my mom) We are still in the first step of getting her a passport. Then I can start doing my petition for her to come to the US.
