This question is about the "The namesake"

Answer and Explanation:

"The nanesake" tells the story of an Indian family who is living in the USA and having children in that country.

Although the question asks what Ashima and Ashoke needed to do after their arrival in the USA, the book does not portray this to us, since it starts after their arrival, but we must understand that as they are foreigners they had to make cultural adjustments to get used to their new life, in addition to making adjustments to the residence where they live and providing the necessary documents for their stay in the new country.

This narrative is linked to themes such as being an immigrant, cultural divergence between children and parents, relationship between name and identity, language barriers, alienation and differences in nationalities.
