Hi everyone,
I am new to the site and hope you can help me.

I recently got married and changed the name on my passport (as it was expiring anyway). However, my company said not to update visa, as they can just do that when it expires next year.

I am travelling on Friday (back to the UK) and I am worried that I won't be able to travel because my passport and visa have different names. Additionally, my EID is my old name also, as I thought it should match up with my visa. I just wanted to wait to update them all when they needed to be updated.

Does anyone have any experience in this situation and have any answers? I am just so worried they won't let me travel. I obviously intend to take my marriage certificate to prove marriage but...yeah, I am just nervous. Hoping for my mind to be put at ease.

Thanks so much for any help and support; I really appreciate it.

Fran :)
