Thanks Jrcies

Thanks, my situation is more or less the same as Shelnkid. I sent all the forms to KCC i.e My hubby's, my daughter's and mine plus a certified copy of our marriage certificate. So There wans't any change of name. Thanks again

Dear All,
I have very important question .The question goes thUS:
My wife (the principal applicant) has her maiden name on certificates she acquired after our wedding.Would that in any way pose a problem during our consular interview?
Pls in desperately need answers to this que.

Thank u

It is very possible that she had started the programme that gave her the certificate before you got married, so she would not need to change the name midway into the programme, since the marriage certificate will state, that she is still the same person,
I should think this reason is reasonable

Shelnkid, in my own opinion i think so long you have not done the change of name publicly in the Media or in any of our local gazettes, any document obtained after your marriage date that carries your wife's maiden name should be ok, only that you know these guys at the embassy can be funny sometimes, they can ask why did she not bear her Husband's surname after marriage; because they believe everything should have changed from the date of marriage, now my questions to you are:
1. how long was it from the date of your marriage to the time she got these documents? if its less than a month i don't think there should be any problem, within a month she should have done the change of name thing and every document before then will still remain valid.

2. Like Modest said has she been on a program that fetched her these DOCs before you 2 got married? or is it a DOC obtained outrightly after marriage? give us details about the type of DOC you mean then we can analyse it properly.
In any case i will call someone at the embassy and ask, then i get back to you. But i don't think it should be a problem at all. Abi House?
Think tanks wetin una think? this is a vital question for us o, Pls house let's help out.

i dont think there should be any problem with this issue, just back it up with prayer, more so how old is ur marriage, i think they particularly get furious with young couples, believe the marriage was arranged beacuse of the visa
 
marriage

That's it since she has been on the program b4 marriage case closed.
I can tell you, you have nothing to worry about, since you are a bit worried on it, take it to God; with him remember ALL things are possible.:D

Thank u Temi for finding time to contribute.
Yes She started her OND before we got married and after the marriage she registered for Neco GCE so as to make up for her deficiency in English Language without which she cannot collect the OND certificate.She had her maiden name on the NECO result and the OND CERTIFICATE.

I hope i have been able to throw more light on the issue.
Expecting ur response.

a good reason is she started the programme before u got married
2nd she had registered for the exams before u got married, the period between reistration of neco or waec and the release of result is approximately one year and i hope all the results do not have upto one year interval with ur marriage
