Visiting UK with baby, but both have dif. p/ports and names

[Jo1973 0]

OK so I have a few questions to pose to you all, hoping you can help me out with your experience etc.

I am heading back to the UK in December to visit family and friends with my baby (celebrating her 1st b'day and xmas in the UK, Hubby not coming with us).

Will I need to get a letter from her dad before we leave (she has US p/port, I have UK and in my maiden name p/port) or can we just go and no questions asked etc.

I don't want her or myself to be refused to leave the US or enter the UK etc.

also...

She has my married name (my passport expires next year, so will change it to married name next year saves time and money that way lol).

I will be getting her a UK p/port but need to save up the money for hers and mines p/port.

Another question...What if I was to get her UK p/port before we go, although she would still have a different surname (I can provide my marriage cert. etc) use the UK p/port to leave US and the US p/port to re-enter, would that work?

Sorry for the complete mess of these questions but I am trying to think of all solutions to taking my girl to the UK without "others" thinking I have kidnapped her lol.

Thanks

I dont have any experience with this but thought since no one has replied yet I would give you my opinion.

I was enquiring about having my british passport in my maiden name after I was married, seemes that as long as you have your marriage certificate all should be fine, I would say dont take any chances and get a letter from the father (just in case) your marriage certificate maybe the babies birth certificate also? (though I dont think they give out the full ones there do they?) and if they question you at either POE tell them you married on a K1 Visa.

Since you havent given up your British nationality you are perfectly able to use a US & UK passport (when AOS is completed) .

It may be a good idea to check with the British Embassy on this one, to get better advice.
