Submitted my N400 on this Feb and requested to legally change my name
Have a trip to China on Sep 22th, and the ticket was booked with my new name
Naturalization interview is scheduled on August 1st
The oath of allegiance conducts once a month here in Texas, so most likely I will become a US citizen sometime in the middle of August. Well I didn't expect the naturalization process would take this long and I definitely won't be able to travel with my Chinese passport cuz the names don't match, so I guess I will have to apply for a US passport in person at a passport agency bc I also need to apply for a tourist visa for my trip.
I don't know yet exactly when my oath of allegiance will be but I'm assuming probably a month at most before my trip. My question is, do I have to update my SSN card and DL first before applying for a passport due to the name change? If I do, I'm afraid there won't be enough time. Anyone knows? Thanks a lot!
