Thanks Brendamad:
Personally, I don’t think it matters. A lot of people don’t change their names. As long as you have your marriage certificate to prove you are married, then you are good to go. Change of name is a long process that you might not finish in time. I don’t believe it poses any threat to your visa application. |

Thanks technix:
I wouldn't advise that, it's not worth the stress. Moreover you have kids, and birth certificates of kids contain your name and spouse's. Even if one was not married, one could still have claimed common law partner.
Anyway, I am a personal witness. We are in Canada and I didn't advise my wife to change her name. |

Good morning, is it possible for someone to fail medical exam because of high blood pressure? My family and I went for medical on Wednesday 3rd, our status changed on Monday to "we are reviewing your medical exam". On Tuesday every other person status changed to "passed medical exam" except me. No update
I'm the primary applicant. What do you guys think is the problem?
