Your letter is concise and still on the path of peaceful resolution.

Many thanks. Have sent the email to them..

Dear Sir/Madam, My Reference - GWF number: GWFxxxx, Unique application number: xxxx Enquiry reference - xxx 1) I didn't get a cover letter providing clear reasons for the decision to grant a visa for a shorter period than that applied for. I understand from the caseworker guidance document. that, th...

Was any reason given why 6 months was granted and not the 10yrs requested? What reason was written for granting her the shorter duration? they didn't give any reason or cover letter. When we emailed they responded with a generic reply stating in some cases a visa may be given for a shorter duration...

Ask them to please specify the eligibility requirements that were not met? Thanks... I am drafting a response email now. I think in that email I will include her immigration history (which they already know). i.e she had 10 year visit visa already and she has never stayed more than 4 weeks in one go.

We contacted UKVI by email and got this reply which seems to be a generic one... Dear XXX, Thank you for contacting UK Visas and Immigration International Contact Centre. Thank you for your email query. Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that you will be granted the longer visa, gov.uk states: You...

thanks a lot...

Can I seek your advice, please? My mother-in-law applied for 10 years visitor visa recently and we paid the appropriate fees. However, she was only given a 6-month visa. We emailed UK Visa for clarification and they replied - She didn't qualify for a 10-year visa but didn't give any reasons. Backgro...

1.Yes and put all OCI details

It’s finally worked for me, I tried today morning and uploaded all the documents. Hope it will work fine, try doing in morning time. yes i managed to upload just now... gosh..i uploaded child's current oci to proof of indian origin section and later saw it has to be uploaded to visa section. how ca...

Thanks.
Isn't that a list of photocopies he took to the appointment.
I dont think they give provision to upload all those online.

Thanks for the post. It is really helpful. However i have a quick question on OCI documents upload - I am facing some difficulties while uploading documents ( scanned all the required documents as pdf format and all are in KB not exceeded 1 MB). Is it mandatory to upload the documents. I am able to...

Which documents I need to upload for kids OCI renewal?
Just her current OCI?

I have figured out a way to find the details of OCI that I applied in 2012 !!. Needed it for my wife's application. Go to https://ociservices.gov.in/statusEnqury And click on forgot file reference number. Now in this page enter your date of birth and British passport number. You will then get your ...

Thanks @longshift
Very informative..

We have renewed our daughter's (age 5) British passport. Am in the process of completing the online application form for her OCI renewal / reissue. Both parents are British citizens by naturalization and have OCI. The form asks details of family members with OCI - such as application reference (gues...

An update... Applied for the first passport after naturalisation on 11.08.18 and received the passport on 18.08.18. Super quick service and I am impressed. However, didn't get any update on the application for my wife which we submitted on the same day. Just a bit worried as the countersignatory si...

thanks for the prompt reply CR001.

A couple of queries regarding passport application form: 1) What to put for the place of issue of Naturalisation certificate? - Home Office London or the place where I had the ceremony. 2) Is it okay to say I don't know the details of grandparents such as date of marriage and the exact date of birth...

to add to the above post - the ILR start date is still loud and clear on the sticker and not defaced.

That's a good technical question. Lawyers have a nice little earner of certifying photocopies they make as true copies. However, that rather misses the electronic security features of BRPs. However, in your case, the old cancelled Indian passports with ILR affixed serve the rôle of the certified co...
