    Passed the interview, thank you board!

    Considering Name Change, what docs need to be changed afterwards?

    I can live with changing the drivers license and ss. What else needs to be changed? Do I have to change the names on my marriage license, and diploma? That will be more trouble than I'm willing to take.

    Q for those who went through "the interview"

    Hi, I read somewhere here on this forum that when you have your interview, the IO have ALL your past files including the first visa (F1 for example) to your latest application (N400). Is this true? I just wonder if it is even possible to for them to have all those documents in front of them...

    What's In the "Name Check"?

    I'm wondering what exact information comes up in the name check. Is it mostly related to something of a threat to national security or criminal record? Or there is certain personal info involved, such as your life in your home country, or your tax filing, job info, etc. Anyone care to enlighten me?
