Alter name form

[Question] I have filled the N-400. I changed my name on the N-400. So now, I changed my mind and changed my family name." So okay. On the paperwork where you're filing for Citizenship, you said that you wanted to change your name. Now you regret it and you want to go back? Well, that's no problem. When you're at your interview for Naturalization or Citizenship, they ask you again, "Are you sure you want to change your name?" You say, "Yes." If you still don't want the old name, you want another name, not the one written on the Form N-400, you could even request that one to be changed. So at the interview, it's very flexible. From what I've seen, I've never had a problem. You just say, "Oh I want to go back and not change it. I want to change my name to something else." You do whatever you want to do. Now one thing you have to be mindful for is that not every USCIS field office does name changes. For example, in Los Angeles, they're pretty good at doing name changes. And the reason is because when you do your old ceremony to change your name, you have to have an officer of the court there that could confirm the name change. But in a place like San Francisco, they don't, even though the form says you could change your name. Once you go to the interview, they'll say, "Actually, we don't do name changes here." So you got to look to see what your local office does. I'm not familiar with every procedure at every office, but maybe contact local attorneys or whatever. But the reality is, you could change your name at the interview. You could fix that up, but not every field office will accept name changes in general. They might just say you have to go to court later to do it on your own.
