Dependant Visa

[salman83]

Hi all,

I am currently in UK under Tier-1. I am going to apply for my wife visa.

I have two questions: -

- My wife changed her surname after marriage. Now, on VAF10 form, in 1.3, does my wife needs to put her old name in it which was before her marriage.

- My second question is that my wife has to change her passport because she changed her surname. Now, in Part 2 of the form, 2.6, does she needs to provide old passport with the application or if not, what would be the reason she needs to mention over here.

Thanks in advance.

Regards.

@1.3 fill the name as per current passport

@2.6, yes provide previous passport and mention name changed after marriage

I think at 1.3 she needs to put her old name

I am also confused over here because vaf10guide says a different story.

Here is what it says.

These are any other names by which you have been known, for example, your maiden name, name at birth, if different, professional name. If you are a married woman or were previously married and have used different names at any time please include these even if you have now reverted to an original name.

Hello,

My wife has recently applied for a visa on 08-03-2010 to enter in the uk.

Unfortunately the visa has been refused on the grounds that, I her husband, was not present at the time of the wedding. I can confirm I was present at the wedding and had come to india on 31st december 2009 which is supported by the immigration entry stamp on my passport.

It seems that assumption is based on the poor quality of my passport copy initially sent to them. However i hav now made the arrangement to sent them a further copy which clearly shows the date I had arrived in india.

Please help me ?
do i have to reapply or is that anything i could notify them that i did go to india at the time of our wedding

Thanks
Sham
