change of passport

[Rensal]

hi there,

can someone answer my query below:

i have recived Tier1 G visa recently and everything is good.
but i only noticed that my new indina passport had my mother's name spelt incorrect.

now if it doesnt bother me in any sense, i would like to get it right just in case i want to invite her to visit me in london.

but if i request inidan embassy to issue me a new passport with her correct name would i have to inform UKBA and go through the process again?

any thoughts would be much appreciated.

thanks

Rensal

Hi Rensal

You can request to change mothers name on passport. They do nothing, just stamp on one page that xyz information is changed zxy on your passport. We have done the same in 2009. I am not sure about current procedure in place.

as long as you keep your old passport with your visa on it, it is fine. At the customs you just show both of them. That's what I am doing.
(in the process of cancellation of old passport, do not make them stamp anything on your visa though, that page'd better be untouched)

thanks guys,

as long as i dont have to go and apply tier1 again or pay carzy £1000 or so to UKBA as a result of getting my mothers name correct on passport, i am happy.

your thoughts here are useful.

i will visit indian embassy soon to get my mother's name corrected.

i hope they dont ask me to issue a new passport.
