You are right Why-R2. I sent an email to SF consulate and got the response that I only need a copy of marriage certificate and change of name affidavit - no advertisement in newspapers are needed. thanks for your insights.

Thanks Why-R2. Did you send any notarized affidavit too ? The SF consulate website says : "IF YOUR NAME IN YOUR US PASSPORT IS DIFFERENT FROM THE ONE IN THE INDIAN PASSPORT, YOU ARE REQUIRED TO ADVERTISE CHANGE OF NAME IN A NEWSPAPER IN YOUR LOCALITY IN USA, AND IN INDIA. COMPLETE AND...

OCI and name change - Please help Hi Folks, My wife got her name changed (based on marriage) during the naturalization process and now we want to apply for OCI. I looked at the other thread re OCI and name change and there are various responses from which I could not conclude anything...

The only status I saw was that the passport is in final stages of processing and I should receive it by xxx date. I received the passport the same day and 2 days later got the naturalization certificate too.

I received my passport today.

many post offices don't require an appointment. Its best to call and find from the post office. I know for sure in that the one in Alviso and one on Lafayette st (Santa Clara) don't require one and are not crowded usually.

Applied for passport today (09/14/09) at san jose. Opted for Regular Processing.

Oath done today at 1.30pm at San Jose. The ceremony started about 45 min late and was over in about ~30 min. There were about 70-80 folks I believe who took the oath. Now moving to next stage - applying for the passport !

It is not a typo - I am in exactly the same situation as yours. And there is one more. Check my earlier post. The post id is #4145 in this thread. This site does not allow me to post URL yet.

Oath Letter Received ! Interesting - we are in the same boat ! I received my oath letter yesterday. Oath is scheduled on 09/10 (Thursday) at Monterey Highway, San Jose office at 1.30 pm. My wife also had the interview on the same date as mine and her oath is scheduled on 09/11 (Friday)...

lol - you are welcome to join - just tell your IO that you want to do that ;) my wife was asked the question "what happened on 9/11" in her interview - and her oath is now scheduled on that day.

Oath Letter received for my spouse (and not for me) today. Oath is scheduled on Sep 11th at Monterey highway office, San Jose. This is pretty fast - we had our interview last friday (08/14). Also, the letter came addressed with the new name which my spouse specified at the time of the interview.

thanks for sharing. Other Aug 20th folks back yet from the Oath ??

the IO who interviewed me was also a female. Very cordial and friendly. Last name begins with "C"

Awaiting approval, WishallGood and others, I had my interview yesterday and was approved ! Interview was a pretty easy and quick one - was out in 15 min. (thanks to everyone who replied to my queries in the past 2-3 days) After swearing in, the officer just went over my application page by...

last minute interview question ... Thanks Folks. I have a last minute interview question - do we need to take photos with us to the interview. The interview letter says - its recommended ? anyone have any experience regarding this ?

Congratulations ! I have my interview tmr and have a quick question for experts here - When the officer verifies dates etc specified in the N-400 - are we expected to remember all the dates or do we just take our N-400 and read from that ? Any more details would be very helpful ? thanks

Congrats. Could you post your interview experience ?

We opted the name change option for my spouse during filing of N-400 (San Jose) and have got the fingerprinting and interview dates so far for both of us together (and in reasonable time) . So I am not sure if name change delays interview. Will see what happens after interview.
