what name to use on visa application? -

was just thinking about things a bit and thought of this, when i make my application for a spousal visa, what name will i use on the application? my maiden name or my married name? i will not be changing my passport until i have returned here after getting (hopefully!!) my visa...
-was wondering what others have done here..

thanks in advance

hi Trish,

I just recently changed from fiancee to spouse visa myself. I used my married name on the FLR(M) application, but they issued my visa in my maiden name (to match my passport, presumably). The letter they gave me explaining the terms of my visa was in my married name. So I don't think it matters which name you use, as they will use what suits them anyways

thanks for that.. i am probably going to use my maiden name and hope it will be okay. take care..

I used the name that was on my passport, and made sure that I put all other names I was known by.
