Questions about biographical form G-325A in connection with I-130 and I-485
Hi community newy here and marveled by all the resources offered by this site I'm pleasantly impressed indeed.
This question is in regard to my readjustment of status application as a immediate relative (Spouse) of a US citizen my status as I told you is post completion OPT (current until 02-15-14) on a current student’s visa valid until 2017.
So I'm in the last stage in order to file my AOS package I-130 at the same time with I-485 and I-765 along with accompanying I-864 and G-325-A I-693.
So far everything is going all right I've found answers to almost all my questions except for these:
The I-130 form and the I-485 as well ask for my foreign birth certificate along with a translation made by a certified interpreter, this I have but there's an issue; my dad changed his name a few years after I was born the difference is minimal only one letter but the change did take place, it was legal and all his documents passport national ID card from our country (Venezuela) and even his non-immigrant USA tourist visa go by his 'new' name.
However, my birth certificate is NOT for when you ask a copy to the bureau of birth records they'll give you a copy of what is in their files and that birth certificate has my dad's old name, other than that naturally everything is the same namely, place of birth, date of birth last names etc.
Now, my question is what to do in regards to filling out the form where it asks my dad's name should I put the name as it appears in my foreign birth certificate and just leave it like that, or should I attach an additional sheet explaining about my dad's name change along with all the supportive documents namely copy of his new passport with the named changed and copy his new national ID. I could even include copy of his non-immigrant tourist visa issued by the USA government which is current and has the 'new' name. What would be your opinion in this respect?
