passport amendment or to renew?

[aromulus]

note: i still have 2yrs of use before it expires i got it last 2005 and it expires on 2010 and no even single stamp on it as i never had any chance yet to travel anywhere around...thank you

Before applying, my wife Jet had the name on the Passport amended.
It makes the application so much easier.

hi marylen!

your passport situation is same as mine which will also expire by 2010, i did renew it instead of having it amended only for the following reasons:

1. to update my passport with the biometric type, coz as what i've heard after 2010, old passport wont be honored anymore
2. to extend the expiration of my passport to another 5yrs. after renewing it, coz expiration date of passport wont change if it was only amended
3. to avoid further confusions & complications, so that by the time i will buy flight tickets when i fly to UK, i will then be using my married name as whats reflected in the renewed passport.

Good Luck!

Aromulus, what your wife put in her visa application, did she used her married name or what's in her passport.

Aromulus, what your wife put in her visa application, did she used her married name or what's in her passport.

This means, Aromulus (Dom) and his wife Jet are married before they made an application and so Jet ammended her passport to married name.

I mean in the application of her spousal visa what family name she put on. As I know ammendment passport they dont change your name and passport number
