Legal Question in Immigration Law in California
Is it possible to create and add an English name (first name that is not shown in Passport, Drivers' license, Birth Certificate, or Alien card) to legal name when immigrants apply for U.S. citizenship?
It looks like it is very difficult for people to remember foreign names and make spelling mistakes. I consider making an English name and register it with the government for the purpose of convenience. Thanks in advance.

As part of an application for U.S. citizenship, the applying resident alien may request, and be granted, a new name. This new name would be reflected in the Citizenship certificate that the Immigration Service would give to the applying resident when granted citizenship.
If you have any further questions about the citizenship process before the US Immigration Service, you would need to talk to an immigration attorney. If you are interested in speaking to an attorney that will orient you in this type of matter and explain what you can expect in this process, contact our office at (888) 790-5053 and/or visit our website at www.coronacalawyer.com.
