In response to a query by the Court, petitioner explained
that four of his brothers have a surname that is different from
Ahmad, the one he shares with his parents, as a result of a
clerk's error in updating the Jordanian civil registration system
15 years ago. Petitioner testified that the family's correct
surname is Rashid. Petitioner noted however, that because "it
takes so much effort to go back and correct everything, * * * we
said, It is not a big deal. And that is why we have, you know,
two different last names."
