Need help for Name Change document for OCI.

[Need_Oci]

(1) My Indian passort name is different (e.g Lastname FirstnameKumar Middle).

(2) Birth Certificate (e.g Firstname LastName).

(3) Naturilization Certificate (e.g Firstname LastName). - They have followed Birth Certificate and not the passport. As well as nothing showing a stamp on the back of Naturalization Certificate indicating the name change.

How can I prove that all the names are same? As I have got query from Travisa. Please help.

Now the only option left is to get the US passport and Naturalization certificate changed according to the Indian passport.

Question: How easy it is to get the US passport and Naturalization certificate name changed according to the indian passport?

[Need_Oci]

Application accepted for OCI.

Created affidavit got it notorized and they have accepted the OCI application. Gave explanation why the name were different as below...

First my Indian passport was created on May 28th 1987. Later wanted birth certificate for some other reason but when I was born had no name in the Birth Certificate, so my parents had to do affidavit for my name but it was not done according to my Indian passport name. During Naturalization they (US Naturalization) took the name from Birth Certificate and not according to the passport. As well as the middle name was dropped during the Naturalization. I had discussion with the officer during the interview but they said we will follow the birth certificate. So the name between the Indian passport and the naturalization does not match.

Because of the above reason I am submitting an affidavit saying that indeed all the name below are for the same person First Name Last Name. I have officially no name change and don't have any documents like court order, a stamp on the back of Naturalization certificate indicating the change, a copy of marriage certificate and a US and Indian newspaper advertisement of the name change. Please accept this affidavit.

(1) Indian cancelled Passport # **** * has name FirstNamekumar MiddleName LastName.
(2) Birth certificate/Affidavit has name FirstName MiddleName LastName.
(3) Naturalization certificate has name FirstName LastName (middle name was dropped).
(4) US Passport # **** *** has name FirstName LastName (middle name was dropped).

Hi anand,

Was wondering if you got ur issue solved. I have an alphabet missing from my family name because it was too long,and when I applied for renunciation they want legal name change document. I did not change my name its just that they could not fix the name. Please let me know how u solved your issue.

thanks

Not yet cineraja. But if when you applied for Naturalization, if in the application if you have mentioned the full name, then USCIS can provide you an endorsement certificate. Make an InfoPass appointment.
If in the application itself if the name is not right, then you are out of luck with USCIS. The only option would be is to get an affidavit from an attorney. I have to do that to renounce my Indian Citizenship/passport. I have to find an attorney now.

[anandd]

Get an infopass and go to the local USCIS officer with your Indian Original birth certificate (make sure your name and father's name are same as in Indian passport), naturalization certificate, US passport and OLD Indian passport(s) with US VISA (typically it has the original name with all names as in Indian passport). Explain the issue and you might be lucky.
Try this before you go for a Same Name Affidavit with a local attorney.

Good luck.

Missing middle name

Get an infopass and go to the local USCIS officer with your Indian Original birth certificate (make sure your name and father's name are same as in Indian passport), naturalization certificate, US passport and OLD Indian passport(s) with US VISA (typically it has the original name with all names as in Indian passport). Explain the issue and you might be lucky.
Try this before you go for a Same Name Affidavit with a local attorney.

Good luck.

Did the Affidavit help?
In a similar situation.

Don't want to change any of that as of now if possible.

thanks,
Sriram

Got G-24

All
I too am in the same boat. I took an infopass appointment with USCIS. Asked for an endorsement that USCIS changed the name. This document is called G-24. It just states the "person is also known as (AKA) ---- previous name". Not sure if this will fly for OCI. I will try and update here for the sake of anyone else who may have this issue later.

Middle name missing from Indian Passport but it is there on US passport

I too am facing the same issue. My Indian passport does not have middle name but my US passport does. I have researched and have not found any resolution to this. I have emailed ckgs.us and explain it to them that i dont have a court order or my name was not changed during marriage or during naturalization. But they just copy and paste the same policy statement (below) everytime. Does anyone know how to obtain a court order or get around this?

This is in regards to your query related to the name change document.

You need to provide the court order for the name change, as your middle name was added in your US passport.

You can produce the court order to process the Renunciation application.

If you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us.
