Hi,

I am in a dilemma here. Sometime in 1997 I changed the way my first name is spelled and had followed the legal procedure for the name change in my home country.

All my documents prior to 1997 like high school certificates/ marriage certificate/ date of birth certificate of my daughter bear the previous spelling of my first name.

I am unable to locate the newspaper advertisements and the original or a copy of the affidavit for name change. I have in my possession an expired passport with the old first name along with the current passport with the changed first name.

I will appreciate if someone could help me with the documents I need to send along with my PR application in absence of these documents (newspaper advertisements & affidavit for change of name).

Thanks in advance.
