Hello Gurus

Can someone please help. We've tried many sources but there is no place where I can find information about the process about UK ILR (if any) when surname change is recorded in the passport after marraige.

We have old one amended.

My spouse got ILR as dependent in 2003. She had her maiden surname on passport and ILR stamp.

Now we've got her surname changed on Indian passport.

Do we need to do anything about the ILR. If yes, what;s the process.

I've couple of questions: a) would it help if we get an observation regarding change of surname to be entered in her existing passport by Indian embassy b) can we instead try to get visa from French embassy. What would be the consequences of this. She had previously (about an year ago got Schengen V...

a) either the marraige certificate must be legalised as per the Hague convention OR b) UK residence permit, stating family member of an EEA/EU national, affixed in the applicant’s passport. If she has ILR she cannot have a UK residence permit. That's the issue. They wont take original marraige ce...

Technically the Spanish embassy shouldn't insist on your wife being employed when applying for a Schengen visa, although from experience I know they do. As a British Passport holder you don't have to pay for a Schengen visa for your wife, so it may be worth applying and see how you get on. Thanks f...

I am planning to visit Spain (Malaga) from 22nd Jan to 26th Jan. I and our kid are UK passport holders. My spouse is Indian passport. We can apply for EU dependent visa for my wife. However, Spanish embassy doesnt accept the marraige certificate as it has not been legalised. Legalisation takes 3-4 m...

Query : Can a OCI stamp holder apply for PAN (Permanent Account Holder) ? If so, (a) Should one be using the India address in the form or UK address ? (b) What should one respond to a question "Whether citizen of India" ? (c) Can one use a photo copy of the British passport along with the OCI stamp...

It takes minutes. Just take your Indian passports to embassy - no letter / application needed. They are quite efficient and eager to cancel your passports

Now the question is, are you entitled to take one other citizenship other than your current Australian and this Indian Citizenship visa? Just curious! Yes. As long as the other country allows for dual citizenship and is not explicitly excluded by OCI scheme (e.g. Pakistan) one can go for multiple c...

That means that they have not yet changed the chapter 14 Annex H to reflec that OCI is not dual citizenship (at least as yet). So even British HO is not that efficient (not so surprising anyway http://www.epolitix.com/EN/News/200607/ ... 81dac9.htm )

even for PIO applicanrs / holders - for 25 USD u can upgrade to OCI any time.

well it was only a matter of time..... This was to come some day or the other. I never thought / believed for a second that OCI would stand as dual citizenship in any court in this world. Anyway good that they have cleared that in black & white - lot of people who had unreal fear about it would be r...

Actually, that's an interesting point in itself! I know nothing about income tax - except that I pay too much of it - but is it possible to be domiciled in a place in which you don't have the right to live? I know you can be "ordinarily resident" in UK while still being subject to immigration contr...

Thanks. I guess his only worry is that he is getting paid in the UK and hence liable for UK taxation, payroll etc.
