I am now in the UK and I want to extend my Tier 4 visa. I changed my family name (for my own reason) some years ago. In my country, any name change registered in the birth certificate or ID.
When I filled the application form for my initial entry I did not mention the name change (I actually forgot that). On the other hand, there is no explicit question in VAF9 regarding previous name (there is a question about Other Names which I thought it is for the girls who changed their names after marriage). But, I submit my brith certificate and in that it is stated that my name changed.
Now, I want to fill the Tier 4 application form. There is a clear question about any previous name which I am filling it. I'll submit the birth certificate as well. But in a question "have you used deception?" I do not know that if I actually did that???? I did not explain on the application form but I submitted the birth certificate which shows my name change clearly.
Thank you for your comments.
