General Visitor Visa - passport name discrepancy

Post by OtherStuff » Mon Aug 11, 2014 10:15 am

Hi

I am on a tier 1 general visa and would like to sponsor general visitor visa for my parents in September.

However, I have an issue with my father’s name in my passport and his passport. My father’s name has an extra ‘a’ at the end of his given name in his passport.

E.g: Father’s name in my passport – Shankar SurName
Given name in my Father’s passport – Shankara SurName
My mother’s passport has his name as a spouse just like in my passport (Shankar SurName).

But her name as a spouse in my Father’s passport again has ‘a’ at the end of his name(Geetha Shankara SurName). Basically, my father’s name in his passport is not similar to his name in my mother’s and my passport.

Will this be a problem when I sponsor the general visitor for him? He is planning to get an affidavit from Notary saying both names refer to same person. Is this sufficient?

Thanks in advance
