Hi, I am applying for my parent's 10-year standard visitor visa and I have a question about self-uploading documents. I have bought the Document Scanning assistance service to help my parents with submitting their documents. Coming to my question, can I upload some documents on the portal and can my...

Hi, I live in the UK with my family, and we are all British citizens. My parents are visiting to UK in a few months and we were planning to take them for a Europe tour while they are here. They live in India and hold Indian passport. Is it possible for them to apply for a schengen visa while they ar...

Nothing has changed as far as family ties are concerned. The thing that has changed is my employment situation. As mentioned in my previous message, I was a permanent employee first, and recently have moved to IT contracting.

In some places, I have also seen (for contractors) that a letter from the accountant can be provided. I can arrange for a letter from my accountant, but I am not sure what sort of information is needed from them? My accountant can say that I can decide on what salary I want to withdraw, and I can st...

Simply put, if my parents have sufficient funds in their account, do I need to prove my financial position and provide any financial documents (bank statement proving my salary)?

I have transferred money (2-3 lakhs) to their account all the three previous times they have come here for their travel and visa expenses, and I have always mentioned this in the cover letter as well as my sponsor letter, with evidence (my bank statement showing outgoing and my mother's account stat...

Hi Vinny, Thanks for the reply. As per family ties, they have all their family, apart from me, in India. In the past 3 visits, we have provided the list of relatives in India, and that had worked fine in all instances. I think family ties-wise, I should be fine, unless they have changed the rules. M...

Hi All, Before asking the question, I will give you a bit of context about myself. I am a UK citizen (previously had Tier 1 visa) and have started doing IT contracting from October 2016, after being a permanent employee for several years. I am planning to apply for my parent's visitor visa in April ...

Thanks elvampiro for the help.

I have bought the thick envelope, and got it made self-addressed. I hope it would work out cheaper than what they would have charged at VFS.

Hi All, I recently got my British passport and now going to surrender my and family's (wife and 10-year old son) Indian passport. I have a couple of questions regarding this:- 1. I am assuming all the family doesn't need to physically go for the appointment, and only I can go on their behalf. Is tha...

UKBA was abolished in 2013. My apologies.. I meant Home Office, but I am sure you understood what I meant. Yes, 'them'. No need to apologise but if you started mailing 'UKBA' (to some address found on www) you'd be on a hiding to nothing. Forum FAQs may address your concern, have you checked it? . ...

Hi, So I am finally applying for my naturalisation this time. Now, I understand that UKBA has taken away the PBS application route for English language requirement. The option I have now is to apply for English language assessment from NARIC. My question is that do I need to apply for both English l...

Hi guys, Thanks for all the replies. I called up the council where my appointment was scheduled to check if there is an earlier day available, but unfortunately there wasn't any. I also tried a lot of other councils but couldn't find anything anywhere... Looks like I will have to shell out the extra...

Are you aware there have been 2 new versions of the AN form since you last looked to apply? Also are you aware of the requirement for a permanent residence card / document certifying permanent residence now :?: Hi ohara, Yes, I have filled up the new version of the form. Do you mean Biometric Resid...

I meant to do at the time but for some personal reasons, I couldn't.

Hi, My NCS appointment for naturalisation is on 29th March, but just came to know that the fees is increasing on 18th March. In this case, what are my options? I will call them up tomorrow to check if they can give me an appointment before 18th March (I checked online and there was no appointment av...

Yes, my documents are also received at London Office today. Now, I need to take my daughter's passport and the receipt to VFS office. I remember that the lady told me that I do not need to book an appointment for this. But I don't remember what she told me about the time when I should go there? Can ...

Hi All, The status of my OCI application shows Processed on 21st May ==> Dispatched From MOIA (OCI ) NEW DELHI ==> Document received At LONDON. The problem is that there is date only next to the Processed status. There is no date next to Document received At LONDON status. Is this a mistake or the d...

Thanks Mani and Ban.S My original plan was the same - applying for UK passport -> surrendering Indian passport -> OCI. But after hearing about the fine, I got a bit worried. I am planning to go to India in July-end. If I start the process now, I guess 3-3.5 months should be enough to complete the pr...

But she hasn't got her UK passport yet. Can this be done without getting UK passport?
