Change of Name

[ajayritik]

I'm planning to change my name from my current name. It will be altogether different from my current name. I have a valid passport and I am currently resident of India. However I intend to travel to US in the near future. Will I have any problems after I change my name and then apply for visa. Are there any issues with regards to Visa getting rejected coz of issues with name change.
Do I have to update my new name in all my educational and job related certificates? or is it sufficient if I just carry a proof of my name change.
This is after I make change on my passport.

I'm only worried about my prospects of getting a visa after the name change takes place.

Your old passport will be attached to the new passport with the new name. So this is proof that your name was changed. I THINK this should be fine. Experts throw some light on this please and correct me if I am wrong.

Thank you.
