Effect of not changing surname after marriage for applying UK Visa

HS made this Freedom of Information request to Chief Inspector of Borders and Immigration This request has been closed to new correspondence. Contact us if you think it should be reopened.

The request was refused by Chief Inspector of Borders and Immigration.

Dear Chief Inspector of the UK Border Agency,

I live in Pakistan. My husband lives in UK. I have not changed my surname after getting married neither do I have any plans of doing so. But my husband is afraid of getting my visa application rejected due to not changing my surname to his. I'll have my passport and application both with my original name and not with any new name. Kindly let me know,will it affect my application?

Yours faithfully,
Issue of Surname

Chief Inspector of Borders & Immigration,

Dear Madam

I am afraid the Independent Chief Inspector of Borders and Immigration cannot respond to your query which you need to direct to the UK Border Agency.

Regards.
