Hello everyone,

I have a question regarding mother's name mismatch. My mother's name is mentioned without surname on my passport as well as on my birth certificate. While she uses her surname everywhere in her documents. So her passport (she is going to apply for paaaport this week) will have her given name plus her surname. Can anyone suggest if that would create any issue for visa? What are the options and what can we do from our end to avoid any issues. Thanks
1. Need affidavit for this. Explain your situation in affidavit.
2. In application form, there is a section to mention other names, put old name in this section as well.

Thanks :).
Just to clear that my mother always used her given name plus surname. So all her documents have the complete name. Its just a fault in my documents that her name is always mentioned only as given name in my entire documentation.
In this case i hope an affedavit would clear the confusion. Thats why i haven't let her apply for her passport yet so that if required , we can remove her surname while apllying for her passport by publishing name change in the newspaper - procedure for name change in Punjab india so that mine as well her passport have the name match.
Kindly suggest and thanks again for your help..

Exactly same situation I had. I consulted with immigration lawyer/agent and he recommended me affidavit with all this details. So I attached affidavit with my file. I think affiliated should be good. My case did't go through yet, So please make sure with few other members too.

Once the file is transferred to the LVO for further processing:

1- Does LVO contact via email, CIC profile or postal mail?
2- If postal mail, is it sent to the sponsor or applicant?

Check everywhere, I had 2 mail , 2 email and they contact me like parents representative . I put my email for sponsor and applicant as well ;)
Also they can send IME request to applicant directly

How long does PGP application take?
My parents have 5 years TRV. Thinking of applying PGP for them so that they can permanently stay with us.
