Hi All,

I am not Tier 1 will be applying for ILR some time in DEC 2013.
My Wife would be eligible for it on July 2014.

So my question is her passport and current visa is in old name (before marriage) should i go for change now if so will it impact the ILR application for here as all the proof for cohab document is in here old name ?
can this be done when applying for ILR i mean (visa with new name ) ?
or should i wait get the ILR and then think of changing the name?

The ILR form will ask for previous names.

"If you change your name when you get married or when you register a civil partnership, a copy of the marriage certificate or civil partnership certificate will usually be enough evidence that you have changed your name." See http://www.adviceguide.org.uk/england/r ... f_name.htm

The fact that she had changed her name as a result of marriage should not affect cohabitation documents providing you have a valid marriage certificate. You said you were not apply for PBS ilr? Are you applying under long residency and is your spouse a PBS dep?

My wife is on Tier 1 Dependent Visa with her Maiden Name
Her Passport currently refelcts the same name Maiden Name.
We want to chnage her name to My Family Name.
But we are little worried on this part
1.If we go to embassy and chnage her name on Passport then will this effect her Visa Status
Since Visa will be on Old Name (Maiden Name)?

2.Cohab Documents will be few on Old Maiden Name and then when we change will be on Changed name.Will this be fine?

Hi,

Just for ur information,
My wife is on tier 1 dependent and we are due to apply for ILR in 1st week of august. I have recently got her surname changed on her passport(June), but we haven't done anything to her BRP because she will be issued new BRP and according to ukba, any personal information change with rgds to brp should be updated with in the period of 3 months and she will finish her 3month period on august 15th.

We also have the cohab docs on her maiden name, but I suppose that should not be a problem when we submit the marriage certificate with the application.

Thx,
Sonu

Hi Sonubualt,
Thanks for your reply.
Just wanted to understand what do you mean by rgds
and
as you said "any personal information change with rgds to brp should be updated with in the period of 3 months "

Do you have any information on where would I get more information on this?
Since If I apply now then it would be more than 3 months before I apply for my BRP so I would need to update this information chnage.

Thanks,
Georgy1

Hi Sonu,
I just had a question will your wife's new BRP be on the changed name as it reflects on new passport?

How much time did it take by HCI Passport office to issue her a new passport and what documents did you submit?

Are you going to submit any cohab documents with your Wife's changed Name along with other documents?

Thanks,
Georgy1

Yes, as the new BRP will be issued on the new passport, because once you apply for your new passport, your old passport will be made null and void by passport issuing authority.

It took between 2-3 weeks to get the new passport.

All her previous docs hold her maiden surname, , but after having new passport, we got her name changed at our GP practice and had a letter confirming the same, just to have a back up of a new document on her new surname.

Thanks Sonu.
I am planning to follow same since I got to know if I change my Name now it would take more than 4 months sometimes to get new BRP on new name.And requires lot of follow up.

This seems to be better option.

Hi all,
I am in the process of changing my wife sure name on the passport, our ILR is due in OCT 2013(almost two months away), do I still need to change her name on the biometric card. The requirements is to inform UKBA within three months of changing personal details. Any advice will be highly appreciated.

Hi J,
When did you change her name on passport?
Rule is like
'date you change the name from that day till 3 months it is fine if you dont change it.
But after that you need to change else there is fine.

Thanks,
Georgy1

Then I guess it would be fine.
Rule is within 3 months.
