Name difference between degree certificate and passport

Post by GriffinTaimer » Sun Apr 28, 2019 1:05 am

Hi All,

My sir name has been abbreviated in all of my academic documents, whereas it is mentioned in full on my passport.

Ex:

Degree certificate
FirstName L

Passport
FirstName LastName

Will this cause any issue in my UK tier 2 visa application? If so what can I do to help my case?

Thanks

It is highly unlikely to be an issue.
