UK name change order or lack thereof?

I (american citizen) am posting on behalf of my british husband so bear with me if I use incorrect terminology. we had our green card interview this morning in london and we are needing husbands name change order from birth last name (fathers) to current last name (mothers maiden). Parent changed it when he was a child, and my husband does not have any paperwork for it, just current UK passport with current last name, and birth certificate with birth last name, nothing in between. I poked around google and found this which states that in the UK, a legal name change is not needed and one can simply start using a new name and thats all it takes? but usually a passport cannot be issued that doesnt match legal records? I also searched the archives per the above link that says

*3.3 How to search for an enrolled deed poll record from 1945-2003

Step 1: First you need to establish whether the deed poll record was actually enrolled at the Supreme Court of Judicature. To do this, search by name in The Gazette where all enrolled changes of name by deed poll have been announced since 1914. If you find an entry in The Gazette go to Step 2; if you do not find an entry we will not have a record of the change and you may need to speak to a solicitor if you require legal proof of identity.

Step 2: Use our records and research enquiry form to request a free search of our change of name indexes – please include the current name, the former name and a rough idea of the year that the name change took place (even a range of ten to twenty years is helpful).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
there is no record of his name change/deed poll, so how do we get what is needed? what is a "solicitor" and what will that accomplish? how do we find said solicitor? would it need to be for his place of birth or current place of residence? thank you in advance for helping to unravel this.

N-400 form {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} message

A few questions: I filed my N400 naturalization on March 23, 2020. Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...

NVC Case FE Review note

Hi everyone, my family and I are under the F3 category and we just received a notice from NVC that our documents have been approved and that we are Documentarily Qualified. My only concern is this message that we received today in addition to the acceptance: ​ " [Name of petitioner] does not meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor the intending immigrants for this case. The consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement at the time of the interview. For more information, please visit https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p . To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 for a joint sponsor may be submitted." ​ We already have a petitioner and a household sponsor (the household sponsor's income is above the required level), but still unsure why we received this. Has anyone else received this message? All of our documents say "Approved" on NVC. Does this mean we have to find another sponsor? Can we show the consular officer our ...
