Another complication - since Bulgaria doesn't recognise same-sex marriages, there is no legal basis for me to change my name on my Bulgarian passport, hence the whole thing of having a British passport!!! Do you need a legal basis to change the name you use in Bulgaria? The ideal solution is to cha...

Hi, I was about to write the same:) I called them few hours ago and the guy said same thing- 'just send your transcript':) But really the reason we worry is because they make it look complicated and so many people have problems that a cheerful advisor on the phone always sounds a bit too chilled ou...
Hi, thank you so much for that. And just to clarify , do I actually need to get that printout from this calculator or because my degree is from UK I don't need to and just my transcript is enough??
