Thank you very much... I guess it would be safer to have the certificate changed...

Thank you so much. How about if I applied for the passport and used my marriage certificate as proof of my new name? Would that create problems?

Please can someone let me know if its normal for married women to have their citizenship certificate in their maiden name. I had applied under my married name which i have been using for the last 5 years. However my certificate is in my maiden name. My passport is also in my married name. I want to ...

Many thanks All. I will wait for June before I apply.

Would I not be able to apply in february under the discretionary rule since I would only be a few months short?

Thanks, but please could you let me know when we could apply?

Thanks a lot for your precious advice, I think I will go in that case.

Thanks a lot. But amongst the letter I submitted to the Spanish Embassy was my invitation letter from the Spanish Firm. If I do use this visa and travel to spain, will the immigration officers there not ask me what I am doing in their country if I am not working for the firm anymore? I would like to...

DAVCOM- You dont live in UK so please just dont give your opinion. I have lived in both countries and I fully agree with the other guy, mauritius is a paradise. Everyday in the news in the UK, immigrants are blamed for something or the other. Even when UK lost out in the Euro qualifiers, immigrants ...

Thaks PaulP. It would be nice to know when we could actually go to EU countries on a whim rather than plan everything a fair few months in advance!

Can somebody please tell since when will Mauritians no longer need a visa prior to travelling European Union. I have read on the EU's website that this has already been passed but nobody is clear when that becomes effective.
Thanks

When you present your application the British High Com there make sure you present a strong case that you are a genuine couple and that your marriage is not a marriage of conven...

Themain thing is to be able to convince the immigration officers that your marriage is a genuine one and not done to get her ba...
