So what you are saying is that you asked for the name change at the interview (removed your mother's name) but now you want to know if it possible to cancel that name change and go back to having your mother's name?
If that is the case, I must say kindly of course, to others reading, that you really should think this one through prior. Name changes are a little bit more serious and tricky than that.
Nonetheless, there could be a chance for you to stop this because name changes take a longer time. I believe being in line for oath ceremony without a name change and being in line for oath ceremony with name change (if the interview is the only time they heard about you wanting to change) is two very distinct lines. Name changes have to go through courts and there is a whole lot more, so it may be possible for you to call and speak to a Tier 2 officer or someone who can have access to your file and tell you what needs to be done. Obviously, all this will delay your completion.
Hope you find a solution.
Thank you for your response.
I tried calling to a number on the USCIS site but there was no way I got to speak with a person, just the automated system forcing to try to solve my issue and being quite bad at it too... Providing all sorts of unrelated suggestions.

Your child has to be under age 18 when you complete the naturalization process in order to derive US citizenship from you. Your child's age when you submitted the N-400 is not relevant. You child will have to naturalize on their own.
You've already had your interview and waiting on your oath, so it's probably too late to change your name through the naturalization process. You will probably have to go to state court to change your name.I requested the name change at the interview. Started feeling a bit guilty after as I am removing my mother's name, so was wondering if there is any way to communicate and correct it.

I don’t think you can go back and withdraw decision to change name. Also, you do know it will likely take longer to get judicial oath because of name change, right? They need a judge for that type of naturalization.
I didn't know until after the interview...

Hello everyone,
I submitted N-400 more that a year ago and because USIS took so long, my child aged out right before I finally had my interview.
I don't really know what happened because my case initially had a way shorter completion estimate... so my question is:
Does my child can still get derived citizenship because the application was submitted before birthday or we have to do everything again?
I'd also like to know, is it too late to try to fix my name change? My interview was just last week and I am "in line for my oath ceremony and waiting to be sent a notice with the date". I just realized they no longer have Inroads service but some unhelpful robot/assistant on the website, so how to try to do this before the name change is printed?

Thanks everyone!
I have to say that I just loved this location!
I expected security guards checking me and taking my phone but I went inside and was told to fill my information, and keep my phone muted in my purse.
No lines, everyone super nice and there were only 2 people before me! It was super quick! -
I have my biometrics appointment next week and was concerned about not being able to bring my phone, as I will have to Uber to the facility and back and need my phone for this. I am going by myself, so no car or person to leave it with.
This will be at the York, PA USCIS location.
Is anyone aware about the cellphone policies?
Thank you!
