Anyone know if the DO in Alexandria VA provide name change service, I requested name change on application and after much reading on threads it is evident that name change request delays the oath date. I should have researched on this before I applied. If Name Change delays the oath can I withdraw my name change request in Interview?

W,
You meant Fairfax DO? I don't think Alexandria has its own DO as all the immigration business is handled on Prosperity Ave, in Fairfax, vA.
I believe the only time in which a name change delays the oath ceremoney is if for example you lived in the District of Columbia, because all DC N400 applicants who request a name change or NOT don't do oath ceremony in VA. All of them are usually scheduled for a large ceremony in court building downtown not far from the US Capitol, and it is done by a judge who can order a name change. Since you live in VA, and I don't think the DO is located in a courthouse, it is possible you might be required to request a name change through the courts in the Courthouse on the Orange Line and just bring a new name as ordered by the court to the oath ceremoney and request that your certificate be issued in your new changed name. I am not extremely knowledgeable about this particular issue of name change business
I would ask Boysmith, Triple C to comment on this issue as I am fairly confident that they are more familiar with this aspect of immigration more than I do. I need to change my name as well when I file for N400, but I am planning to do a name change via the court around Spring 2010 or whatever way is easier and less time consuming.
