- Q. For lack of time, can I provide a single letter of affidavit of birth from my mother to prove place & date of birth?
- A: The U.S. Department of State has identified which documents are acceptable as birth records, according to such things as the geographical location where a person was born and the date of birth. This takes into account that some nations or regions did not keep regular centralized birth records, some geographical areas had their records destroyed by natural disaster or war, some nations or regions have unconventional ways to maintain birth records, etc. The only way to know which records will be acceptable for you would be to know the geographical location and date of your birth.

- Q. Name change on green card help!!!
- A: Congratulations upon being approved for Permanent Resident status. Generally, when a woman becomes married and desires to embrace her husband's last name as her own, the law will recognize that new name without any necessity for filing a marriage certificate or taking other steps to accomplish the name change. From an immigration legal standpoint, having the USCIS issue a replacement "Green Card" with your husband's last name shown as your last name, will not be consequential for your ability to continue to be a Permanent Resident or to become eligible to apply for naturalization. If you decide to seek a replacement "Green Card," be prepared for the USCIS to take a long time to complete its responsibilities.

- Q. Married to permanent resident! How long will it take generally for me to be granted with one as well?
- A: A Permanent Resident may marry someone who is in F1 student visa status and then petition for him/her in the Family-based Second Preference (F2A) visa category. Visas are now available in that category for people from most nations who have a Priority Date (application filing date) of September 1, 2013 or earlier. While that does not necessarily mean that a visa will become available in less than two years for a newly filed case, that at least provides some guidance about the approximate amount of time.
