hello to everyone

how much time does it take for name change in passport with proper validity but with old sirname not new marriage sirname?

i just wanted to ask whether the visa is issued in the name of old name prior to marriage or new sirname

thx

Mala,
My husband recently had to get a whole new passport because his name was spelled wrong in the one they just issued. They made him start the application fee all over again. The whole process from beginning to end, including getting the pcc clearance stamped in it took one week. He got it under the Takal (i think that's how it's spelled) scheme. Good luck.

tatkall dear

dont worry so much i personally went to see new delhi embassy to ask my doubts there

i wont the embassy quite cool n not so rude

so many people were there for immigrant visa i asked them what they ask

they said general questions

how u met
what u r spouse do
financial support
i couldnt ask more coz i had to go to the help desk no. 5 line

what i assumed was the embassy seemed good from outside
the help desk lady too was very very friendly n sweet

i really feel u r hubby will do good dont worry

love,
mala

Mala,

Go With what the consulate suggested to you and you'll be fine. It doesn't hurt to get it in an email from them as well.

thanks khurram

with all support i m really cool now

thx to everyone here

Mala,

Do not worry about the passport and name change. If you have concern, just talk to the Embassy and explain, I am sure, they will tell you what to do. My wife applied for her passport after our marriage, so I asked her to apply for the passport with her married name (my last name).

My wife got her passport 3 yrs ago but luckily our last name are same. Thank God!!

I don't think you have anything to worry about, you should be able to use the old passport.

finally i have decided i m not getting the name changed in my passport

lot of hectic work

also i inquired personally in embassy visa will be issued in my maiden name itself however my ssn and p.r card will be in married name

but that wont be a prob the help desk female told me so i m keeping my maiden name in passport

thx all

Good to hear. All along, I have been telling you that you will be ok, even if you don't change your name on your passport. Now, you heard from Embassy...Great.
