Hello Friends,
I had incomplete full name in passport
which was mismatched with every possible combination in H1-Petetion, Visa, SSN , Driver License and all USA based documents. 
Passport
First Name- Monica
Last Name- <blank>
H1-B Petetion
First Name- No Given Name
Last Name- Monica
H1 Visa
First name- FNU (FNU is First Name Unknown)
Last Name- Monica
I-94
First Name- FNU
Last Name- Monica
SSN
First name - <Blank>
Last Name - Monica
I want to change my name in all documents. I saw similar threads in this website from the past. I wanted to know if some one as recently changed his/her name, especially in WA state. If you had changed your name irrespective of location, can you describe me how did you change your information in -
1. H1-B Petetion - my assumption is that an H1-B amendment is required to change name. Please clarify.
2. Visa - my assumption is that visa can be changed during re-stamping. However I am not aware if there could be complications of visa appointments, form DS-156, 157, etc. I am seeking any help on this issue.
3. Passport - Ofcourse it is the first step in name change process, but I have put it to 3 as I know more about changing name in Passport now. Advertisement in US news paper and Indian news paper, Send to consulate along with existing passport, Get NEW passport. If there are any glitches, do share it.
4. Attorney Help - If some has taken attorney consultation, then how much it had costed and what all process they took care of? If you can provide a reference, that would be appreciable as well.
I am hopeful that a lot of FNU/LNU cases would respond to this thread to help me and direct to more appropriate location. Hope to hear soon!
Thanks!
