Me British guy, met filipina Vimvie, fell in love, flew filipina Vimvie to Britain on fiancee visa, we married in Britain!:xxgrinning--00xx3::cwm38::cwm38::cwm38::BouncyHappy::BouncyHappy:

Vimvie recently recieved her two year residents permit!:xxgrinning--00xx3:

Here's my problem: Vimvie is still holding a philippines passport with her old name in it NOT her new married name....? :Erm: Where do I go from here guys 'cause I haven't got a clue!!:Cuckoo:

Hope I'm not boring everyone with a question that's probably got an obvious answer!!!:icon_lol:

Contact the Phill embassy

people who have gone though the process can help you more but basically Vimvie just asks them to change it and collects it.

The embassy is easy to get to from chessington

Waterloo and over to trafalgar sq

Just go to the Philippine embassy in London,take your marriage certificate,couple of passport photos,these have to be on a royal blue background.
Then I think they send it to Philippines to be processed and takes about eight weeks.
If im wrong other people will let you in here.

mine I just ammend it to the Phil embassy in London thru post before and sending our marriage cert. actually, been married for a few years now I havent change it yet to my married name:Erm: I'll just wait till I get a British passport this year hopefully:D

Make it VERY clear what her name is when, otherwise it is 50/50 they'll include her orginal surname.
