Thank you pmdaboh, I will look forward to your link,

And spoilt,
I did not help him get his citizenship. He had gotten it through the company that he had come here through. And we had met here in America. I know what pmdaboh was talking about. I was with him at the time he became a citizen and all the things he had gone through. He did show me the divorce papers. The only thing I was basically enquiring about basically was why the last name is spelt different from now.

I know when I had family come here from another country the name had a letter taken out "after" they got here due to noone could spell it right. But in this case there was a letter added instead of taken out.

Thank you for your help BlackMamba.

I'm so sorry BlackMamba I had just noticed that I had a typo with your name. Please forgive,

Thank you BlackMomba

When I saw his last name on his divorce papers there was a letter missing, for example, if there were 2 L's in the last name on his green card and on divorce paper/decree there was only 1. Is it a legal divorce?

Thank you for your comment

Is it common to have the last name spelt different from Nigeria than it is here in the U.S.? What I mean is, there is a letter added in his last name. Is that something common when going to another country?

Ok, my husband came here from Nigeria, (the people that helped him come here to the U.S. got his green card for him). Before him and I got married I had him show me a proof of divorce before I would marry him. Do the divorced couple still have contact like they would still be married (as in still consider each other married)? Since there is proof of divorce is it still carried out in Nigeria?
