Legal Name Change In India-VISA/SSN problems

[abhi051]

Hi,

I have changed my name legally during graduation. I got my passport after my graduation with my new name. My graduation certificates are on my new name. However my school certificates (both 10 and 12th) have my previous name on them.

After my graduation I worked in IT company for 2 years. Now I want to write GRE and pursue Masters in US. I want to understand will there be any problems, I may face while getting US VISA, and in US (like getting SSN).

I have Andhra Pradesh State Gazette Notification as proof. and it is also mentioned in the last page of passport that "Holder was previously known as XYZ name" (XYZ is written with pen).
I also have my PAN, Driving License, bank accounts on my new name

Please help me.

Thanks,
Abhishek

IF your passport shows you current name, there should be no problem. Your school high certificates are not relevant for US visa.
