Exactly the same thing happened to me. I too wrote to HCI London and got a prompt reply in email, confirming that my children's OCI cards were ready and to take the email printout to VFS. I did that this morning and there was no problem at VFS Hounslow. They collected the passports and told me the n...
in your retarded, ill-informed hysterical way, is the change in the UK's rules regarding the amount time it takes to get indefinite leave to remain. Please, if you are going to get all hysterical , at least be factually correct. I'm pretty sure you don't see the irony in the way your response is wo...
I think you could argue that until you become a naturalised citizen or you have the right of abode, nobody subject to immigration control (even ILR holders) has the absolute guaranteed right to remain in the UK. As soon as you leave the UK (on holiday for example) your reentry to the UK is subject ...
I see no problems with that. A passport is the internationally recognised 'gold-standard' document for proving your identity. It seems only fair that identity checks are carried out before it is issued. As JAJ pointed out, it isn't unusual at all . I remember when I first got my Indian passport ( wa...
It may be temporary, but the website states "New applications for ROA received from British citizen passport holders will be date stamped and returned, along with any fee paid." True but it does say that it is only till their stocks are replenished. Anyway, why would someone who has a British passp...
Apparently that is no longer possible if you have a British passport at the same time. I wouldn't say that the link suggests that it is no longer possible. All it says that certain applications are being given priority due to a logistical problem ( shortage of certificates in stock). That seems mor...
Your ILR is valid with the passport its stamped on. Not true. Your ILR status is cancelled as soon as you naturalise ( it says so clearly on the naturalisation letter). The IND have systems that are updated accordingly and all immigration staff at airports have access to that. In most cases they do...
Anyway why are you discouraging people, You are clearly finding it difficult to understand that all I am doing is pointing out that what you are proposing is illegal and a criminal act. Whether or not you get caught doesn't make it less illegal. If you are dead set on doing it of course you should ...
You're clearly determined to break the law by using an invalid passport and good luck to you. It is especially hard to see why when OCI and PIO cards are so easy to get. By the way I am Indian myself and naturalised a few years ago. I never needed to falsely use an Indian passport to consider myself...
Too many confusing statements between the countries. There is no confusion. The simple fact is that the moment you acquire British nationality you are no longer an Indian citizen and your Indian passport is invalid. Full stop. Obviously the home office has no incentive to carry out detailed checks ...
Mahil, With respect yoru advice is wrong and misguided. The first page of any Indian passport issued abroad says in screaming capital letters "This must be surrendered immediately if the holder acquires another nationality". The simple fact is that as soon as you take on another nationality you are ...
It is not a question of melodrama. It's simply against the rules and illegal. Now you may think that it is worth taking the chance because you'll not get caught. However, if you have any insight into the Indian civil and security services, most people would rightly advise anyone not to be foolish en...
John, I don't think that's the issue. I think the OP's concern is that he never wants his spouse to utter, "You married me just for a British passport!" That's why he waited a year after getting ILR. He didn't need to depend on her; he qualified on his own merits. She didn't do him any favours. Fai...
I don't think it is generally your choice to decide on the criteria under which you want your application assessed. Nowehere in the guidance notes do they indicate any choice on your part. Even the minimum residence criteria says "If you're married to a british citizen....." rather than "if your cla...
I don't see that as propaganda. His is just another site ( millions blog these days) to discuss an issue close to his heart. In any case, one can always question his motives rather than his language. In my view, he has just asked a question on this board and the link is to a site containing a person...
Look, I feel for your situation, but please, it looks like you've translated your website directly from a dictionary. "sentimental relationship"? What the hell is that? I suggest you have another look at what the word "sentimental" means. Perhaps a better word would be romantic. "extracomunitarian ...
What is the point of taking this risk ? I really do not see what you have to gain by doing it and on the debit side of the ledger, a spell in jail could well be likely if you try to enter India at a particularly security conscious time. There is no scope for ambiguity in this. The Indian passport cl...
Just to throw some more contentious stuff into the mix, I am fairly sure that you can enter the UK on an expired British passport as it still acts as proof of identity and citizenship. The same rules could apply to EU passports. I remember picking this up whilst reading some guidance to immigration ...
My wife and I recently obtained British nationality, and our OCI cards have also been approved and are expected shortly. Our baby was born to us while we still had Indian nationality. We have applied for a British passport for the baby (which she is entitled to, according to the Home Office). Quest...
There is a reasonable calculator on here and it also allows those who earn more than 60K to predict their net income. Its just 330 pounds difference(Net) between a guy making 36K and 42K / Annum. 330 a month amounts to 4K a year. What is so surprising about a gross difference of 6K resulting in a ne...
I don't think this is anything to be shocked about. India simply does not allow visa free entry and as far as I know, people need a visa to enter India regardless of their citizenship. The only exemptions may be citizens of Nepal etc. Those are the rules and they're the same for every country. This ...
At what stage of the application do I effectively become a British citizen ? In other words, When is the last time I can change my mind,if I want to , to not accept British citizenship? Is it when I get the Acceptance letter from the Home Office Or As soon as I take the oath OR When I actually appl...
