    How interesting that the name change is part of the same form as the citizenship petition. They should have a space here for the replantation of the foreskin.

    You are still offered a chance to change your name without going through complicated formal procedures (e.g. the kind of procedures you would have to go through if you decide to change your name later) when you are naturalized today.

Order of Court Admitting Petitioner, 1921

The back side of Hyman’s Petition for Naturalization, granting him full American citizenship, was not completed until November of 1921, in keeping with the five year waiting period following his Declaration of Intention.

“Upon consideration of the petition of [Chaim Chirom], and affidavits in support thereof, and further testimony taken in open Court, it is ordered that the said petitioner, who has taken the oath required by law, be, and hereby is admitted to become, a citizen of the United States of America, this [30] day of [Nov], A.D. 19[21].”

The document also officially changed his name to Hyman Victor.
