How do you mean pam ?

You can't apply a spouse visa unless you are married and are in posession of a legal marriage certificate.

hi terpe,

yes we just got the marriage contract today one month after our wedding.is it ok that i wont change my surname on my passport and other licenses and would still use my maiden name instead of having hassle changing it with my husband's surname...im thinking maybe i can do it soon but not now..

thanks

No problem with that. You can still apply with all your documents showing your maiden name.
