Hi ,
I am on Tier 2 General and i am going to apply for ILR in next month.
The problem I had is my full name issue in new renewed indian passport. I have pretty big name with 5 middle names.
Due to the big name, i am unable to enter my last middle name completely which is ABCDE. I am only able to enter till ABC in indian passport online application as the online application is only taking my name till ABC . I got my new renewed indian passport with ABC instead of ABCDE. Its missing DE in the new passport. I wrote letter to CGI birmingham explaining my situation and they said the system is not taking my full name as its too big and they are not ready to provide me any document support.
In my old passport in surname field they entered my surname and firstname separated by comma. so in names fields it took all my 5 middle names and ABCDE is fit into old passport which is ten years old.
Now in new system they are unable to enter any comma between surname and firstname in surname field , so firstname comes in Names field, so there is no space for ABCDE in new passport.
Old passport format
------------------------
SURNAME : surname , firstname
NAMES: 5 middle names
New Passport format
-------------------------
SURNAME: surname
NAMES: first name and 5 middle names (missing DE at the end)
I got new renewed passport before 6 months and i travelled to India in November 2017 for 2 weeks.
Now, i am going to write Life in UK Test and which name do i need to write and also in ILR application form its asking to enter full name as per passport.
I am worried and stressed as what i need to do now. Will change of my name cause any issues.
Please help me.
Many Thanks
