So which should I do first? If I get the new passport with my married name on it, will an existing visa carry over on it?

This is really confusing to both me and my husband, so I hope someone in here has already gone through it and knows the answer.
If your like me, to get to the point you are at right now has been a long hard road of politics and money. So, If I were you I would not jepardize or confuse the UK gov in any way form or fashion. First, get your settlement status first and then after you recieve that, make arrangements to change your US passport to agree with it. I would assume you could do that at the American Consulate in London with no problems.

hope this helps
