need help badly pls

[micheletenoso]

Guys i need help. Im a Filipino nurse planning to study in uk. Im on the process of working with my student visa. The problem is I am married here in the philippines but currently not using my husband's surname even on my passport. Will i declare that I am married when on the embassy or not? Coz when i declare that Im married maybe they will ask me as to why I dont use my husbands surname? IS there a way that they will know that Im married or not without declaring it? thanks in advance

Hi. Why arent you using your husband's surname? I suggest that you be honest in everything you say and do in connection with your visa application. Good luck. God bless.

You need bad help? :Erm:

i would like to be honest but i think it would be difficult for me to process my application since my passport's name is my maiden name. Would they know if im amrried or not if il not disclose it?

honesty is the best policy sis..it is better that u tell them the truth because sooner or later they will know it since they all made background checks so its better that u'll be honest or u will wave ur visa goodbye..

goodluck..:)

From what I knw neither the British or Phill goverments require a woman to take a mans name when married its just tradtion.

The UK for sure does not expect it as it would be ilegal (sexual discrimatation)

use your own name and just say your married. Write a little note.

The British goverment could not discrimate agaisnt you on this point and nor would i think they want to .

Good Luck:xxgrinning--00xx3:

In my experience it is not hard to change your passport from your maiden name to your husband`s name you just have to take your marriage certificate with you if you wanted it change:)and as well its better to do it this way rather than complicates things later on:NoNo:

[pennybarry]

Even the DFA will ask you first when applying passport. You better declare at DFA first that you are married. As far as I have known, they have new rules now that YOU must declare it to them (DFA). If your passport is maiden name then it's time to ammend it.
Embassy always need honest answers.

theres no need to worry

Many women keep there maiden family name.

If they were not allowed to it would be sexist and no organsation in the UK would dare give a woman grief for not wishing to take her husbands name unless they wish to feel the wrath of the discrimation laws in the UK.

I have heard of examples of phill ladies who did not change their name and why should they unless they wish to themselves.

Its your choice ladies no one else:xxgrinning--00xx3:

i think theres no law on it,you can use your maiden name even your married no body ask you a question...mind you i still used my mother's maiden name untill now insted of my maiden name

[angel1231]

i've been married 8 years ago andstil using my name on my passport and i have'nt experience any trouble yet from the immagration....so i think whats wrong with that keeping ur name for urself?im sure ur husband wouldnt mind it.

correct! before applying my citizenship i asked my hubby what name im gonna use if its him or mine he said to me his not bother if i use my maiden or married name, but i choose to use my married name but i still used my mum maiden name

[raindear26]

it actually doesn't matter... if you're married or not... the question is are you still together? if you're still together as married then put married but if not it would be helpful if you just put single.

yes its ok to say you wish to use your madien family name and not your husbands for your own reasons.

it is of no intrest to the British goverment. if they did have an issue it would be agaisnt their discrimation policy.


My Sister kept her family name when she married while at work.

She has now changed it but that was her choice not the goverments or anybody elses decision.

Whatever you do do say you are married as if you didn't that would be a lie and a very serious one on a visa application i would have thought.

I can only agree with the other answers that say be honest.

Apart from anything else, paerwork in the UK seems to go pretty smoothly, so long as the people processing it follow procedures, but as soon as anything goes wrong, it can stall for ages and ages.

I'm sure they do check a sample of details very carefully, so if yours was in that sample and there were inaccuracies, it could cause huge problems.

[Ana_may365]

hiya!
be honest to ur self,thats the best!

[macaco]

I think that is not a big problem. Maybe you need to ask yoursef why would didn't you change your surname to your married name?

Honesty is the best policy. plus you will sleep better at night once you are honest.

It's also easy to change your last name in DFA.
