Yes, you can change your name, both first and last. Many immigrants have done that, probably most for the reason you cite. Some non-English names are difficult for English speakers to make sense of or pronounce correctly. Some people just think their name sounds too “foreign.”

The record in this case reflects that in 2016 the Applicant signed and filed a Form N-662, Petition for Name Change with the U.S. District Court, District California requesting that her name be legally changed from to during the naturalization process.

If your name has legally changed through marriage, divorce, or a court ordered name change, you will need to obtain a new passport. Once you have a new passport, the Department of State recommends that you apply for a new U.S. visa to make it easier for you to travel to and from the United States.

You complete and submit online forms over the internet. There are two online immigrant visa forms: DS-260, Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration Application. DS-261, Online Choice of Address and agent.

In the first part of Form DS-160, you will provide personal information such as your name, date of birth, and marital status. In this section, you will explain your travel plans, including the purpose of your trip to the United States, your dates of arrival and departure, and the U.S. address at which you will stay.

If you've recently changed your name, you can submit your legal name change document (marriage certificate, divorce decree, etc.) with your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization. USCIS will use your new name on your Certificate of Naturalization.

You must return the USCIS-issued document with the incorrect information. Generally, you also need to submit either a statement explaining the error or supporting documentation to show what the correct information should be, or both.

Ask to change your name in your application or interview If you did not ask to change your name on your N-400, you can ask at your USCIS interview. The USCIS officer can have you sign a name change petition and file it with a court before the judicial oath ceremony. Only a judge can change a name.

If your document has incorrect information because of USCIS error (for example, USCIS made a typo), you may submit a Typographic Error service request. Before you submit a request, review the Updating or Correcting Your Documents webpage. The page provides information on how to return your document.
