If I applied for a name change order in civil court * weeks ago, would that document be accepted even though I got my citizenship in *?
Yes, a name change order is generally accepted irrespective of the date you received your citizenship. However, acceptance can vary by institution. It's recommended to consult with the Chinese consulate or a legal professional about your specific situation.
Trying to call the USCIS I only get a robot and they hang up in me immediately after I asked to speak to a representative and the people at the Chinese Consulate just yell at me.
I'm sorry to hear about your difficulties. Here are a few suggestions:
- Try scheduling a call with USCIS using their online system.
- Consult a local legal advisor who can help you liaise with the Chinese Consulate.
Remember, persistence and patience are vital in these situations.
I already bought my plane ticket for May *. I need this to be done as soon as possible.
Given the time sensitivity, I would recommend reaching out to a local immigration attorney who can expedite the process for you. They might also be able to provide better clarification on your situation to the Chinese Consulate.
