Hi All - my husband and I submitted his 801 application last night. YAY! But what a mission - the website is horrible, didn't like apostrophes in the statement section and didn't accept my attachments!!

When we submitted his 820 we were not married and my part of the application was in my maiden name, we are now married and I have taken his surname however my part of the application still appears in my maiden name.

For his 801 application, we have listed me with my new married name, and entered that I was known by another name. also attached is new passport, marriage certificate.

Will it all match up?

Yes it matches up, you need to remember that legally you are also known under your maiden name as well as your married name regardless of which name you decide to use. The application form had me under my married name but the attachments tab had me under my maiden name. I could still add attachments under that name too. Never had any issues.
