Hello all,
I'm a British citizen and my wife's ILR application is now in process (submitted 10 Apr 2021 and finger prints taken 7 May). As she has been physically in the country since 16 June 2016, my attention is now turning to final stage for her getting British Citizenship (after ILR is achieved).
However, we've always talked about her changing her surname to mine and our kids, so we all share same family name. Anyone have any experience when it's best to do this? Obviously her Ugandan passport is in her Ugandan name. I guess the options are (assuming we get all successful applications, which we should!):
1. Change it between ILR and Naturalisation
2. Change it between Naturalisation and applying for British Passport
3. Change it at the end after getting British Passport and then get a new British Passport
Just wondering what the pitfalls are for each step and which one gives minimum hassle? Which option is best?
Thanks,
Neil.
