USCIS: First Name Not On Birth Certificate. Please Help! by nicolasbood: 12:25am On Jan 09, 2017 |
Experienced people on nairaland and moderators. PLEASE I NEED YOUR HELP ON THIS, I HAVE NOT SLEPT WELL IN THE PAST THREE DAYS. I will be filling I-485 (adjustment of status) in the US soon. However on my birth certificate, my middle and last name is there but my first name is missing. My parents were undecided about a first name at the time of registration of my birth. From childhood, I have been accustomed to being called my first name and I have used it in many of my documents. I don't think the local government area that issued it can correct this (Since it was done in 1982, in my country). Will an affidavit of "same person" from parents solve this? Anyone with similar experience? Please help |

nicolasbood: Just write a letter to explain this and have the letter notarized. United States ain't Nigeria that always try to give people unnecessary headache. |

nicolasbood: Talk to an immigration lawyer, this can seriously delay your I-485... they take birth certificates very seriously and they may require you to provide more proof than a mere letter. Save yourself the unecessary RFEs. |

TWoods: Thanks a lot for your response. I also plan to include secondary documents that show earlier use of the name. So far I have found my WAEC result, first school leaving certificate and temporary voters card. |

nicolasbood: You're on the right track. They won't likely deny your application but you want to avoid lengthy background checks. 1 Like |

All this advise are unnecessary. Hence the copy they have is same with the original you have it remains admissible. Name match weather first name, middle last name date of birth, all needs to be same as it is in your original copy. If you have additional documents that has your first name is ok. People just give unnecessary fear and advise Good Luck |
