Urgent: Dependant extension-change in surname post marriage

[Priya_Rai]

Can someone who had similar problem and successfully applied at PEO/Post advice on the following please?

a friend of mine is facing a problem for collating documentation for her Tier-1 dependant extension at PEO croydon next week:

She does not have any proof of her name before marriage (she has Degree/Marksheet etc.)
She changed her surname to Sarma from Samant after marriage
Her passport has her post-marriage name and surname - Mugdha Sarma
Her marriage certificate says something like:

Ms Mugdha Samanta (Sarma) married to Mr. xxxxx Sarma on xxx date. "

Does she need to provide any affidavite for her T-1 dependant extension (she is on HSMP dependant visa)?
Has anybody dealt with similar circiumstances ? She is planning to apply at PEO Croydon next week. I think one needs to provide details of all earlier name in section 4/5 of the PBS dependant form.

Your friend should be fine. Most of the asian people are in same situation.
If he really wants then get an affidavit from backhome.

You should provide your Marriage Certificate and Old Passport if available. Deed poll is not required for changing the surname after marriage. Check the http://www.ukdps.co.uk/AWomansRightsUponMarriage.html. It cleary states that you dont need the deed poll for changing the surname after marriage. Take a print out of this page and can explain. Also page 69 in the application form for main applicant cleary states deedpoll or marriage certificate. B1B4 section.
