NAME CHANGE - ADVICE PLEASE
My wife will be applying for Naturalization soon. She would like to change her last name. My questions are :
1) Should we get the name change first with local court and file citizenship after the name change ? I heard that name change can be long procedure at local courts.
(OR ) Should we request name change during naturalization process by requesting in N-400 ?
(OR ) Should we request the name change after Citizenship ?
What are the pro and cons in each case and what is advisable ?
2) How does the name change works during naturalization process ? Do we get a Oath certificate with new name along with some kind of court order ?
Please comment !![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
