Hi All,

When I sent my N-400 Packet I sent certified court copies with it and my tax documents and etc. Do I have to get another court certified copy with me to interview? I can take my originals but cant afford to leave it with USCIS.

2nd question. There is alot of confusion about what my name is, and honestly this is true, I am from a rural area where there is no concept of birth certificates. My mother said we named you this on birth, my father have a different opinion and my grandparents and list goes on and on and on. So when i went to school my name was different and my college name is different but to cut the story short, I have a different name on passport than what I have on Birth Certificate. When I go for interview will they keep my name on passport as well as application or the one on Birth Cert?

I know its kindda funny and confusing but its true.

Ciao

If you sent in the certified court document, then you're not expected to bring an extra copy to interview as they will already have it in your case file.Some may argue it's best to bring another certified copy to interview in case they lost your original ones. The chance of that happening is low, so it's really up to you to gauge the chances of them having lost document.

They generally will go by your birth certificate says, not what your foreign passport says. If you wish to request a name change you can do so at interview. What does your GC say?

Many even do not know exactly what their birth date is so they picked one
close when they had their first whatever officialish documents and stick
with it. I wonder what will happen if such people at interview tell the IO
"My birth date is actually my best guess. I don't exactly know when I was
born "

I wonder if it is OK if such a certified document was already submiited with
I-485.
 
When applied for GC in interview they didnt even asked for papers although i had mentioned the case in the application.

You can carry all original documents. USCIS does not keep your original documents. The IO may check your docs. You can request name change on the application if you have not done this, but like change name, you need to go through court order (takes between 4 and 6 weeks).

If there is no concept of birth certificate where you were born, how is it that you have a birth certificate?
 
By saying "There is no concept" what i meant is that you dont get one from hospital or the muncipality that you were born automatically at birth. People usually apply for birth certificate when necessary. For me I was born in 1979 and did not applied for birth certificate untill 2002 when I was applying for GC and they required one. You dont even need birth cert for national identity card or passport. You can get ID by giving some money to official at the ID card office and passport based on ID. Urban areas where people are more educated and systematical its different there but rural areas where there are no schools people care less about birth cert.

Good question jackolantern

Many notary firms give notorarized documents based u upon other documents
for people to use as substitute of birth certificate. USCIS accept such notarizied docs as birth certificate from many countries.

Yes, but the OP mentioned having a birth certificate, not a substitute for a birth certificate.
