[Ann07]

[QUOTE=russ01539;133924]

But as you can see on my previous post, i have shared about one of my friend haven't got her passport ammended but when she gets her flr visa, still her maiden name on it, the lady from HO advice them to get her passport ammended before applying ilr so she can use her married name on it.... she applied 2007 same as Tin..

Maybe they have changed the rule now..

Aye, could be. You know what thery are like. They keep changing the rule so better update yourself But it was so easy to ammend your passport way back 2007 by post and it took me a week only to get i back.

Yes rules changed on Nov 25th 2008. The government are stealthily bringing in ID cards for everyone. On Nov 25th they started on those who wanted to extend their fiancee visas into spouse visas.

It seems as well as Passports being stamped with spouse visas they are now issuing ID cards also. The issue for discussion is will ID cards match the visa details and will the visa details match the name on the data page of passport?

My spouse and I have decided to ask Philippine Embassy to amend the amendment page of her green passport to show her married name

On the FLR(M) form we will put Mrs followed by married name and then write "see amendment page of passport" next to it. We will also write a covering letter explaining it all. We will be visiting Home Office so hopefully the Home Office will let us explain it also. If it is a problem hopefully they will advise us and correct the form themselves if we are wrong.

For those of you who believe in the power of prayer, please pray for us on 15th May. Thanks

Dont worry! Just wait until tomorrow. Have a nice cup of tea, relax at 9.15am and start phoning. Just be strong and determined not to give in and persuade them nicely that Croydon is much nearer to you and that you chose Liverpool only because recorded message said Croydon was not available but you were hoping that a slot may have opened up now. Tell them that you are not able to get to liverpool

GoodLuck Guys on ur application

Nice one John. Thanks for the infos. Do i have to phone them first for a schedule? I also have plans to do the report of marriage and passport amendment. Can i do both at the same time? Is there any other place aside from the one given in their website?

Thanks for the reply.

Cheers!

All depends on how much time you have. If you have say 2 months to spare before visa runs out it would be best to get a completely new passport from Fil Embassy. At present takes 4 to 6 weeks. If you do not have 6 weeks but you still have green passport you can amend passport with fil embassy - takes 2 to 3 working days.

In the meanwhile you can book a date at Home Office. Having a new passport removes all confusion because it has the marital name on the data page whereas amended passport has marital name on amended page which Home Office may not see.

[John Chingford]

I forgot to mention that website states do not book with Home Office more than a month in advance because FLR forms tend to change quite regularly. They state as long as you book in the same month as the month of the FLR form. At present it is FLR(M) 042009

That is what I was trying to point out about ammendments, that u need to be done it first before applying flr visa if you wanted to put your married name on your visa or ID card..

At last..

To update you all on my situation. Although our deadline for visa extension is only 27 May, it is not a problem.

Before I tell you what happened I just want to say that I thoroughly checked out Philippine Embassy website, Home Office Website and phoned both up to get as much info and advice as possible. I found Fil embassy very helpful but Home Office (although they try to be helpful) not helpful because they have to keep to guidelines on what they are allowed to say. Therefore because I cannot find answers to all my questions from those two sources I asked this website for answers based on others who have faced my situation. This website has been very helpful to piece everything together in my mind!. I now know what to do! Back to my story.......

We went to Fil Embassy yesterday to give notification of marriage and passport amendment. They saw us straight away without an appointment. As we had already filled out all our forms and photocopied everything they wanted we were in and out in less than 30 mins (including waiting time). We were told we could collect the amended passport today, but as we are now on honeymoon, will collect next wednesday. We have appointment with Home Office in Croydon 2 days later on friday.

That's good to know John.

Thats what I said,we dont need to set appointment,if you are there in the front of staff,unlike in UK,always set for appointment.
