What to do regarding a name change through naturalization?
I have changed my name trough the naturalization but lost the court order that reflects the name change. I do have the citizenship certificate with the new name on it. Now I am sponsoring my mom for green card and the question is, do I have to have that court order of name change or the certificate of citizenship is enough?
