There is something in the Name ??

We have seen people changing names to like Sam or John at work so that it easier for their peers to call them.

It seems like BCIS/FBI is having tough time reading all these lengthy names with wierd accents and thereby creating a huge backlog :)

Hey the backlog mistery is resolved

on a serious note

-- what is the process to officially change the name in US

-- What is the impact on GC if the name change is done after applying for GC and before it is approved

-- What are the impacts w.r.t applying for US citizenship, if the name change was done after receiving GC

-- Are there any other impacts

Thanks

One impact is sure... of getting head ache in thinking on these silly impossible scenarios :D:D
 
If you change your NAME then your GC, H1B, L1, .... becomes void. Also all your prior educational credentials and work experience has no value. In short you are ERASED and you don't exist anymore, so you have to start your life from scratch.

What you have described is called "witness protection programs".. However, it's used for slightly different purposes.. :)

Millions of people change names -- legally and more or less painlessly every year. If your scenario were true, every MD, attorney, professional engineer -- anyone with a college degree -- would have to re-take tests, certification, bars after a marriage or divorce... Fortunately, such events -- lifechanging as they might be -- do not nullify one's diplomas.

All that's needed is a court decision stating the name change. Nothing more, nothing less.
