Another complication - since Bulgaria doesn't recognise same-sex marriages, there is no legal basis for me to change my name on my Bulgarian passport, hence the whole thing of having a British passport!!! Do you need a legal basis to change the name you use in Bulgaria? The ideal solution is to cha...

Hello, euapplicant15, I don't understand why they ask you to surrender your Bulgarian passport to be honest. They usually ask to change your name on the certificate of naturalisation OR to change your name on foreign passport, not to change your name on the certificate of naturalisation AND to canc...

Hi, I was about to write the same:) I called them few hours ago and the guy said same thing- 'just send your transcript':) But really the reason we worry is because they make it look complicated and so many people have problems that a cheerful advisor on the phone always sounds a bit too chilled ou...

Hi, thank you so much for that. And just to clarify , do I actually need to get that printout from this calculator or because my degree is from UK I don't need to and just my transcript is enough??
