    Philippines passport in maiden name and british passport in maiden name - no issues.

    Philippines passport in maiden name and british passport in married name - No. Have to change name in philippines passport to married name or apply for British passport in maiden name. Your wife may have got lucky getting british passport in new married name whilst having passport in old married name. They should have picked up as part of the process and not issued a British Passport.

    HMPO have web chat for questions so put it to them.

    "Wife is applying for naturalisation as british citizen. Currently has philippines passport in maiden name. Can she apply for british passport in married name ?"
    "Applying for british passport after she has naturalised. Wasnt planning on doing anything with philippines passport"
    "Hello, yes she can but will need to amend the Philippines passport first. If not, she will need to apply in the same name as on the Philippines passport."

    Web chats are robots or did you wait to get put through to a human?
    Anyway on the face of it the information you have been given is wrong
    See this link furtherhttps://www.google.co.uk/search?q=d...orts&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-gb&client=safari
    My last word on this, my wife didn’t get lucky I doubt anybody does when dealing with government officials.
    So no she didn’t get luckyWe/She applied within the spirit of the guidelines for a UK passport and she was successful and now carries and uses duel citizenship.

    What will happen when her Philippines passport runs out in about 7 years she will then apply to have a new Philippines passport in her married name in preparation for her UK passport running out in 9 years time.
    Providing god spares us I guess

    Following submission of the application - and payment - online, you should be redirected to the next step.
    Also, check whichever email address you provided for the application (including Junk) which will give the application Reference number etc.

    look at the date of this information taken off UKGOV WEBSITE
    You need to complete Appendix 2 of VAF4A Form if you wish to apply for a Spouse Visa or enter the UK as: The spouse or civil partner of someone settled in the UK. The child of a parent who is applying or have applied already for leave to remain in the UK as a partner of a British settled person.8 Aug 2022

    We did application back in 2018 when it was a definite requirement. Did a search on gov.uk and brings up links to appendix 1, 4 and 5 but no appendix 2. Had expected it would be there if required. Not sure if would have old version from 2018 when we did spouse visa but if really desperate could have a look.

    Assume you have filled out the online forms - did they ask for your financial information as may have moved into the online application. Would have been employment or savings details unless you are using one of the less common methods. Should also detail what is required when you fill out the forms so would be interesting to know if it is listed.

    The form is not available on the UK gov website and appendix 2 is now a form for armed forces. I have read numerous things saying that it is no longer required however I'm not certain. If anyone can help me get the form on here I would be so grateful

    As I see it and from what my wife and daughter completed 2015 and 2017

    This link comes up dated 8.8.22 and I cant find anything that super-cedes it
    https://www.google.com/search?q=vis...8MgYIBhBFGDwyBggHEEUYPdIBCDk5NDZqMWo3qAIAsAIA

    then I researched to refresh my memory appendix 2 and it came up with (armed forces) we certainly completed it for my wifes 2015 and daughters 2017 and my wife took it to the biometrics appointment along with a copy of her application form VSFI BUT ONLY START THE FORM PART 1

    https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5b914d0ded915d4d8930c43f/appendix2-af-09-18.pdfCabt find anything that says you no longer need to complete Appendix 2 and it is only for those applying from outside the UK

    I've read online that it's no longer required. When I made my application viathe ukvi website all the questions they ask is the same questions that was on the old appendix 2 form. It would be nice to have this clarified for certain however the form isn't even available on the UK gov website therefore I can only assume it was condensed into their online application.

    It’s on the Uk gov assert publishing site look at the second link address it says Uk gov within the link address I posted also look at the form generated by the link it bears the UK crown stamp!
    Always be aware of what the source is of on line comments and what the context is.
    I know what I would do in your shoes, so can’t really help further Good Luck
