best way to do it prof!
when i got married, my passport was only a year old and had 3 valid visas on it so i just had it amended rather than renewed. otherwise its going to be more complicated if i have a new passport with my new married name stapled to my old passport which has visas on it.
its not really an issue on immigration if your name is amended,the only thing that can be tricky is when airline check in staff dont listen. i never had difficulty in immigration anywhere as they seem to have more idea of what they do for a living.
used my amended name on travel booking more than 8 times since i got married and never a problem with immigration. its always the airline staff, esp easyjet!!!!
i am definitely renewing though before i apply for ILR in sept 2009!
