Thanks AKGarg and Samirdas. I believe AKGarg is right in that i have to apply for a tourist visa for now. I will look into it. Samirdas - Hang on. This is probably the last time we have to deal with Indian Consulate. They do not want to work. Unlike the rest of the world, those who work at...

I am thinking of sponsoring my Sister and I would like to know the basics. What form to apply. Basically how to begin the process. How much is the fee?

Thanks Vorpal. I tried that already. I went to the court once and spoke to them over the phone twice. The staff in the court have no clue about name change certificate. I spoke twice and they told me there is no such thing as "name change certificate". Also, they told me to contact USCIS since...

Does anyone who should i contact to get a name change certificate? Because during the oath ceremony, we did not get a name change certificate.

We did not get any name change certificate. Also, no one in our group got any name change certificate. Who should we contact? When did you get the certificate during the oath ceremony or during the interview or did you have both on the same time?

Do you have a format for Notarized self declaration for Name change?

What is the PIO card number? I am in the same situation and could not reach anyone. My application is with Houston Consulate. I tried calling Houston numbers several times and no one is picking up.

Thanks Akgarg.
