UK standard visitor visa, mistake in previous name

score:3

Accepted answer

No one can predict the outcome, but best practices would indicate that an absolutely fresh application should be made. This is to avoid two important considerations:

  • a credibility hit on the application if it is discovered; and
  • having to perpetuate the lie in future applications so as to be consistent.

Previous names are an important data item, and clicking "yes" opens up a sub-menu. Accordingly, a simple pen and ink correction to say "yes" will not suffice.

Yes, again best practice; cancel the application and say it had a mistake, not a big deal.

And you do not need to cancel your son's application. You can change the GWF in the remarks section with a simple pen and ink correction.

Best practices prevail when there are no explicit rules, and generally reflect what you could expect to hear from an experienced lawyer.
