Q: Can I change my name now that I started the process of legalizing my mom and she submitted all docs and did biometrics?
I want to change my name but first I wanted to go through the process of legalizing my mom as I didn't want to over complicate the process. But now that she has submitted the documents and done her biometrics check, am I able to proceed with my name changing process?

A:
Yes, you can change your name, even though you've already started the process for legalizing your mom. Since she has submitted her documents and completed biometrics, her case is well underway, and your name change shouldn't disrupt it. However, you should keep in mind that any changes in your personal details, like your name, might need to be updated in relevant records if your name appears on your mom’s case.
If you do decide to move forward with the name change, make sure to notify any relevant authorities handling her case. This way, they can update your information to avoid any potential confusion or delays later in the process.
It's always helpful to keep a clear record of all communications and ensure that any legal name changes are reflected in all immigration-related documents.
