I had changed my name while I was in India in 2013. This was before travelling to USA for the first time. The only proof of name change I have is the State Gazette publication in India. My lawyer in the US asked if there is a Court order. As far as I know there is no court order required in India for change of name. Has any one faced similar problem for name change? What is the documentation you had submitted?
