A few questions regarding name change:
--- What name (old or new name) does one sign the photos with at the time of interview if a person is requesting name change as part of N-400 application?
--- Since the new name is not valid until a judicial oath is taken at the oath ceremony, is it true that one cannot sign the photos at the time of interview using the new name?
--- If one signs the photos with the old name, then will it be an issue since the new name on the Naturalization Certificate does not match the signature on the photo with the old name?
The reason for my above questions is that my wife asked for the name change (last name change only -- marriage-based) at the time of interview (IO accepted her name change request after taking the marriage certificate from her even though San Jose DO does not offer judicial oaths) but she signed her photos with her maiden name and not the new name. Will that be an issue?
