For the sake of the pending petition for name change I would update the address with USCIS. I did my name change at the naturalization ceremony.

Go online and search for "after your petition is approved" on travel.state.gov it shows what steps follow. Its a long and lengthy made worse by the wait times.. wait, send, wait..repeat

I didn't know about Oakland but I know LA has a little Addis Ababa area and Ethiopian Airlines serves LAX via Dublin

Good luck to everyone who entered last year's DV lottery..i entered at least 4 times before I eventually got picked. Keep your hopes up..

DMV also varies state to state. States decide how they run their systems. It's very different here compared to what I had to do in Texas. Texas allowed use of a Kenyan license for 60 or 90 days. The state I'm in has no such option.

I hope you get it, I remember we were on the same year
