welcome to the forum marc

I agree its so frustrating, depressing and stressful to be away from our partner, especially a newly wed couple. Thanks to the help of technology we are able to keep in touch with them everyday. I hope you can bring your wife to the UK asap

Hi marc. to the forum

I understand how you feel as i,myself has been away from my husband for over a month and it feels like its been ages.

Let us all be patient and stay positive that soon we will be reunited with our love ones and never be this far from each other.

[marc72]

thank you all again for your lovely replies,,i have a question my wife has just emailed me and is worried my name is incorrect on our marriage certificate..let me explain now on my passport my first names are marc anthony and surname is armour(no middle name) but on our marriage certificate my name is marc first name anthony middle name and armour as surname,,my name is all spelt correct..will this be a problem when my wife applies for her spouse visa.thank you in advance

[gladz]

advise your wife to have it corrected before the civil registry submits your marriage certificate at NSO.

[grahamw48]

Agreed !

I had to go off to the British Embassy halfway through our civil ceremony to have differences in spelling on docs ironed out.

What a bloody pain !

Make sure ALL documents have EXACTLY matching names and spellings !

[marc72]

thank you again,,,that is the confusing thing i always assumed that anthony was my middle name marc anthony armour so really it is correct,,all my names are spelt correct,,sorry to sound like a fool but im so confused

[juvyjones28]

Marc my husband had the same concern, on our NSO marriage certificate, his name were all spelled correctly, he also has Anthony as his second name, but the Anthony is placed as his middle name on the marriage certificate, I asked NSO and civil registrar officer about this and they said there shouldn't be any problem with that. I think Its ok as long as your full name are spelled correctly on the certificate. For you to be sure, better contact the embassy or the NSO about this conflict.

Do you already have a copy of your marriage certificate authenticated from the NSO?

Yup no worries, did you do the 'advance endorsement' process?

[bigmarco]

Welcome to the Forum Marc and like you I'm apart from wife at the moment awaiting a decision on her spousal visa application. It's hard but lets all remain positive.
