My wife and I are scheduled for our Interview on 12/13/2006. On the N400 application, we made a change to my wife's name. Since my wife came to the U.S on H-4, she still has her father's last name. We changed this to my last name on the application for her. Now, will this delay her oath date?
As per the Naturalization Guide:
"If you decide to change your name, you will be required to complete a
Petition for Name Change during your interview. Petitioning the court
to change your name may delay the date of your oath ceremony, in some
cases."
Has anyone experienced any issues with this? I felt it was better to do it during Naturalization and before applying for her U.S passport. If this causes too many issues, we may decide not to during the interview. Is this possible?
