My friend, who is a US Resident, recently got married and is trying to change her last name to her husband's last name. On her 18TH birthday she got into some legal problems and earned herself a misdemeanor which she subsequently had expunged. I am aware that she has to inform immigration of this, even though she has had her records expunged, but what I am baffled about is what does her criminal history have to do with changing her last name to her husband's last name? Can she actually be turned down because of her past activities? It is not as if she is petitioning for her citizenship or anything.
INS sent her a letter today informing her of her appointment date and requesting that she provide information, if any, on any arrests or criminal activity in the past. What bearing does her past activities have on her requesting a last name change and can her request be denied? She is concerned and thinking of just keeping her last name the way it is now that all of this is happening.
Answer:
You formed out such a cohesive, and well written question, that I am having trouble understanding why you can't figure out on your own why a criminal record history is a concern for a request of name change.
It is a simple matter that any credit history, criminal history . etc will need to be known so it is attached to her new last name to be referenced.
