I am an Indian citizen carrying Indian passport, studying at a US university.

In my passport my fathers name is mentioned along with my last name under the "surname".

My ALL other docs have just my first and last name, there is no mention of my father;s name else where other than the passport.

My SSN too has only the first and last name.

Should I get this changed?
I talked to a few ppl and they told that its imp to have the same name in passport and
SSN.

How is the Indian Embassy at Washington?

Also, if they do issue a new passport for me, what will be mentioned at the space of issuing authority?

Will I have any problems, if i come back to india and later when the new (name changed) passport expires, verification needs to be done in US?

has anybody got a new passport from any Consulate in US?

PLease reply!
 
You have to change your name by filling out the name change affidavit found on cgisf website and then you have to get a court order signed by the judge that allows you to change your name. then you have to give out an ad in the indian newspaper and in american newspaper saying that you have changed your name.
i know this situtation very well because the indian passport agency fuc-ked up on my name. they didn't put no last name as they go by the marriage last name or husband's last name. i wasn't married so they left the last name space blank. americans go by birth certificate. when i told the consulate to change my name they're saying, i should have done it in india if the name was wrong.. wtf the name is not wrong. it's just there's nothing written in the last name field. so now i've to submit a name change form..
 
Hello everyone, I'm not regular in this section, I'm from "DV winners from Bangladesh" section, desperately I need some suggestions here, see if you guys can help me out here!

When I entered my name in DV lottery entry form, I put First Name: TANIA, Mid Name: AKTER, Last Name/Family Name: (just checked in "No Last Name" option). And I filled up my DSP forms in same way. But my passport contains my name as First Name: TANIA, Last Name/Surname: AKTER, in passport form there was no Mid Name option, that's why I had to put "AKTER" in Last Name field. My all legal documents contain my name as "Name: TANIA AKTER" with the NAME title, there is no First/Mid/Last name options in my all legal documents. So, I emailed at KCC about this issue, they replied as:

"Thank you for your inquiry.

NLN means “No Last Name” and NFN means “No First Name.” If this appears with your name, you failed to enter a first or last name on the entry you completed online.

The required forms should be completed using the name that appears on your passport and/or other legal documentation. Any other names you have previously been identified by, including maiden names, should be listed on question 2 of the DS 230 Part I and question 37 of the DS 230 Part II."

What should I do now? Please guys do comments on this issue.
 
i have got a doubt here.... my last name and middle name has interchanged in the indian passport and in green card and even in social security card.
for example A B C is my name in passport, given name is A , and the last name is C B, instead of B C. so what shuld i do to correct it. Can i get my green card corrected once i correct my indian passport. please let me know about the legal procedures as am in a dilemma that i cannot write my step 1 of my USMLE exams as my names are different in my certificates and the leagl papers,..... thank you.....
 
After notifying to the Social Security office and obtaining a Social Security card printed with your new name, you can request a new passport. It depends on how much time has passed since your most recent passport was issued and if you have any legal document or not of your changed name.
 
i have no legal documents in the united states.whtever i have it, is from india of my degree certificates.the legal papers in united states hav been in the intechanged way. So should i have to go the indian consulate and correct it there and get everything corrected afetr that.thank you.
