My family applied for OCI at hci London on 07/05 yet no updates on printing status . We have to travel to India on 04/07 and I probably have to apply for a visa. Should I choose to apply for tourist visa? How long will it take to obtain one? What should I enter under Previous Visa/Currently valid V...

Hi Amity010, Thank you so much for your reply. Could you tell me how long does this Entry VIsa valid for? i.e 3 months or 6 months. Is it only for Single entry? Is that be enough If I submit my Surrender certificate or do I need to provide any other documents? Thanks You can apply for 6 months (£67...

Hi folks, As you can see I am also one of the November applicants waiting patiently. The HO generic responses which I have so far got from the HO call centre are: 1) under consideration 2) In process 3) Could not complete 4) Not completed Followed by you have to keep waiting. I wonder how many of y...

True ... but I am pretty sure they wont start any work on the application, until the fee is taken.

I think no one for sure knows what happens first? Fee deduction then awaiting case worker allocation or case worker allocation then fee deduction and then awating checks etc... Procedures followed after the receipt of naturalisation applications both NCS and Postal from date of receipt of applicati...

Such an irony that Nov applicants are not even assigned to a caseworker and those from Jan are already being processed ... If it was assigned to a caseworker and then waiting it would have been understandable that they are waiting for some enquires... but not being assigned is totally something els...

Hi All Does anyone know what the role of the case worker is in this whole process? Does the case worker do all the statutory enquiries before they make a decision (ie the first step after the fee is taken) ? Or does the case worker just receives all the results of the enquiries made, and based on t...

amity010 - most likely your application went to the back of the queue after they failed to get payment in the first attempt. Be patient, it'll come! I do understand that it might have gone back to the queue. But the fee was taken out on the 27th Jan. I wonder why it takes them more than 1 month to ...
