Hello! I am a U.S. Citizen filing for my father I-130. In my birth certificate, his name shows as ABC. However in his passport and his birth certificate, his name is XYZ. He already has an affidavit stating he is one and same person way back in the 90's when he applied for his passport, and he has been using his name XYZ on all his legal papers. My question is, can I just photocopy the affidavit that he has (is the USCIS going to honor it even if it's old?) or do i need to get him another one? Also, which of his name should i use on the I-130 application, ABC, or XYZ?

My birth certificate says his name is: ABC
My father's birth certificate and passport: XYZ

Thank You!
 
In addition to the affidavit, provide his marriage certificate (if he was married to your mother when you were born). If they still have a problem with the name difference they might request additional evidence such as of him living with or supporting you while growing up, or a DNA test, so be prepared for that.
