Hello, I am applying for U.S. citizenship (N-400). My Indian passport only has one name on it: Rahul. When I moved to the U.S., my green card was issued under the name FNU Rahul.
My birth certificate shows my name as Rahul, but after I was born, I was also called Rohit. In fact, my passport says, "The holder of this passport is also known as Rohit Gandhi." My family and friends call me Rohit, and it's the name I prefer.
For the question "What is your current legal name?" (your legal name is the one on your birth certificate unless changed by marriage, divorce, or court order), what should I answer?
Also, I want to change my name legally. Will it cause problems if I change my name to Rohit Gandhi, or should I stick with Rahul Gandhi, as on my birth certificate?
Thank you!
