Hi all.....my beloved had her meds done recently (unrequested) under her maiden name (because the forms require identification by passport which is still in her maiden name), but her 309/100 Spouse visa application and police clearance will be in her new married name. We married very recently and we are front loading.......The forms will all be submitted together once the police clearance arrives...anyone know if this is a huge problem or not?. Obviously we have the marriage certificate and other documentation to prove things.

Heading for the Gold Coast in November (ish!)

I would have thought that providing you send a copy of the marriage certificate it shouldnt be a problem. It's a pain, I remember from when I got married and we booked the honeymoon had to remember to do it in maiden name as passport hadnt been changed!!

Just a thought, but it might make life easier if Angie gets her paasport changed before her visa is issued? Her name will appear on the visa as it does on the application, and if the visa and passport are different, I forsee questions and maybe holdups when checking in for flights and entering Aus....

Indeed!...Application for new UK passport is winging it's way as we speak....Thanks for the thought!...anything that will make this "wonderful" process less painful is good!
