Change Of Name
Hi,
What I think is that the name thing may or may not matter.. Actually there are postings on the web that say that the name was wrong on the forms and the lady at the consular post corrected it by herself.. So that means it does not play a great significance for the CP.. but yeah it might be of concern when they issue a visa for her.. In whichever case make sure that you carry your original MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE , photographs and invitation cards with you to the consular post.. Secondly, the best thing would be to go to the Indian embassy with your marriage certificate, yours and your wife\'s passport and get her name whatever you want it to.. This harldy takes 15 mins and $10.00 .. I\'m in Maryland and we went to Indian embassy in DC.. It just took us 15 mins to fill and submit our application and I picked up the passport at 4:00 p.m.. It is too cool a process.. What they actually do is that on one of the pages of her passport, they\'ll write her maiden name , name after marriage and your name saying that her prev. name has been changed to her new name after marriage with you.. and they\'ll put a stamp on it.. That\'s it.. So better hurry up and walkin to the Indian embassy tomorrow and have this thing done.. BEST OF LUCK..
