Name change in I-94

[ash_philip]

I went to Social security office to apply for my social security card. They said that the Last name in my new I-94 and the records in the computer shows slight difference. ie the new I-94 is showing exactly right. But the records in the computer are showing my full name as the last name. My first name is ASHA and last name is PHILIP. But in computer records it is ASHA as first name and ASHAPHILIP(first name + Last name) as the last name. How can I validate these documents?

obviously, their records are not correct. Can't think of what you can do though, besides showing them your passport and other docs with your correct name on it, and them sending a request for additional info and your status.

Hi Nomesh,

Have you corrected your I94? Did you go to port of Entry to do that?

I too have the same problem and I went to Port of Entry (JFK) twice and still my problem is not solved.

This is pretty old forum, but trying to get some details.

Did you guys resolve this problem of name change? Can you please let us know what you had to do?
I am in the same situation where my passport doesnt have a firstname-lastname where as i had enter a family name and first name. I guess this could be one of the reasons why my SSN is not yet been allotted.

Hi ,

I am planning on changing my name altogether. I was looking up information on how to go about it.The consulate general of India issues new passports once all relevant documents are provided and advertisements given in local and Indian newspapers.

I was wondering what will I need to provide apply the new name to I-94,SSN and driver's license? What sort of documents will I need to provide for these to take effect.In what order will I have to change the above mentioned documents (I-94,SSN,DL)?Will any change have to be made to visa? Or will carrying my old passport with the valid visa suffice?

Does anyone know if the Consulate General of India provides any sort of affidavit stating that a name has been formally changed and the old name is "so and so" and new name is"so and so" .That could be useful in proving all educational documents are valid after the new name comes into effect.

Thanks so much.
Sapna.
