Thanks bored... But i am confused about my visa.. The name reflected on it was my maiden name. Should it be my husband's surname? If there is an error how long will it be returned? I already booked a flight next week..
I think they follow what's in your passport. Did you changed your passport with your married name? My friend had the same situation before, they called CEM then it took only a week to have a new one.

I think as long as you have all the supporting documents you should be ok. Marriage licence is key. What name is on your passport?

Yup! it happened 2yrs ago..You could callCEM to make it sure. It's better to travel with no issues in your COPR. or if CEM is not that far in your area, you could try to go there.

I suggest you do it on your own... Just go through the guidelines and if you have question/clarification, you can go through on this forum...almost all possible cases are already discussed here..

GoodLuck!
