I'm from Pakistan and birth registration rules have not been really enforced, specially in 70s when I was born. For my green card, I asked my parents to do birth registration + affidavit supporting late registration cause.
In my birth certificate, the clerk had a typo (missed one letter in my first name e.g. Shaeen instead of Shaheen); where as affidavit and all mother other documents have it as Shaheen. I did not realized it nor did was highlighted by USCIS all these years until my N-400 interview day. IO told me that as they will have to issue certificate of citizenship based on birth certificate name and suggested that I will have to do a name change to correct this at oath time so I filled out name change request to change name from 'Shaeen' to 'Shaheen'.
Now I've received my oath scheduling letter with 'Shaeen', where as I've GC, my passport and all my current documents including SSN with name written as 'Shaheen'. So few questions in this situation.
1. Has any one had such experience?
2. Is there any thing that I need to do post oath with my short-lived name 'Shaeen' to cause any issue down the road e.g. name correction with SSA, etc.?
3. Going forward while filling forms, for question like 'Have you used any other name?' should I start writing 'Shaeen' as well other than corrected 'Shaheen' which I've never done it before.
Appreciate your guidance and suggestion on this matter.
