Coz when i declare that Im married maybe they will ask me as to why I dont use my husbands surname? IS there a way that they will know that Im married or not without declaring it? thanks in advance
I use my maiden name in all the forms for the application to the British Embassy. Why? to avoid discrepancy to the other documents that I have. Like the NBI, Passport and other documents which appears my maiden name. I have already these documents before my husband came to PHils. so we dont need to go back to DFA again to make correction for the passport.

We just submit also the marriage certificate from Civil Registrar and NSO called it SEcurity Paper.

In your case, the declaration of being married or not, is not material to your application since you are applying for student visa. Much different from spouse and Fiance where you need to disclose your status.

Just follow all the requirements and see that all your documents containing the same names on it. IF there's any discrepancy, fix it while you have time, don't let the Embassy be the one to see it. Do not take chances...you have to make sure for everything.

Good luck.
