Hi guys
my wife's Tier1 visa is due for renewal in the month of December 2009. I need your expert help and guideance for our problem.
Problem or Issue:
- After our marrige last year(April 2008) we changed the surname of my wife on our utility bills, Bank accounts, bank statements, salary slips, etc.
- We have not changed the surname of my wife after the marriage, as any change in the name or surname needs a new passport from Indian goverment. So we did not make any name changes in our passport. However we have added/updated spouse name in our passports from the Indian consulate in Edinburgh.
My question:
- When applying for Tier1 visa extension will this create any problem for us?
- Since all the utility bills, bank statements, salary slips have a new surname but my wife's passport still shows her maiden name and not post marriage surname.
- So when we submit all the documents as a proof during the extension will there be any issue as the salary slips, bank statements will show a different surname and the passport will show a different surname?
If there will be a problem is it possible to get certified by a lawyer in UK to prove that both the name represent the same individual?
Please help. I need to make sure we dont mess up while applying for our Tier1 visa extension.
Thanks a lot in advace
