I am applying for UK visa but I have been refused on US visa 8 years ago which was by my other name.

My name is very long so sometimes I use the short name and sometimes I use my full name. My first passport used my short name. I was refused a US visa. After a few years, I've gotten a new passport using my full name. My full name looks totally different from my short name. Hence, I am going to apply for UK visa now in my current full-named passport.

So I am worrying whether the UK embassy will find my US refused visa application details? if yes, what will they do? Will the fact that my previous passport used another name mean that it will be less likely that they'll find it?

Should I let them know that I've used another passport 8 years ago for a US visa? or don't say anything when I apply for the UK visa?

You must answer all questions on the application form truthfully. This includes the following two questions:

2.7 Please give details of any previous passports, covering the last 10 years, including where these passports are now

6.3 Have you ever been refused a visa for any country, including the UK? If 'yes', please provide full details.

If you are found to have lied on the application form, your application will be rejected or your visa cancelled. You may be banned from entering the UK for 10 years.
