<blockquote rel="bbgirl">hi all. maglolodge na po kami ng visa namin... just want to ask re. my passport info. yung name ko kasi doon maiden name pa. my husband wanted to change it to his surname. eh may offer letter na from the school under my maiden name? Any suggestion? pwede bang ang visa ko under my maiden name tapos pa change of name ako sa passport after?</blockquote>
@bbgirl @tenseako - share ko lang..
sa PR visa application it doesn't matter kung maiden...
maiden name (not changing to married name) is independent of your marital status
you can declare na married ka, but have been using maiden name..
there are other nationalities na hindi naman talaga nag papalit ng maiden name kahit married na sila... so why would that be an issue..
so my opinion, that should be okay.. use your maiden name, but declare status as "married"...
your marriage certificate is enough proof that you are indeed married..
you can continue to use your maiden....
on the changing to married name in your passport "AFTER" visa grant.
sa PR visa applications, may form na pwede fill-upan to change details of passport
para ma update nila system ng DIAC, at hindi ka magkaproblem sa immigration..
so im assuming if this is applicable sa student visa...
to confirm.. check your friendly student visa advisor.. ๐
