Ok, saw the other thread where you've mentioned it is as anytime within 3 years, the Indian passport needs to be surrendered. Any idea of what the process of surrendering the Indian passport is about?

Thanks,
Y

Thanks secret.simon. He still has an Indian passport that needs to be surrendered in agiven timeframe, I've heard.

When should this be done? When he gets his British passport OR now that he has got his certificate of British citizenship?

Thanks,

Hello All, My son was born in the UK when I was on Tier 1 (Gen) visa. I got his Indian passport then as we were going to travel to India. Later when I got my ILR, I applied for the registration of his British citizenship instead of ILR. I now have received his certificate of registration as a Britis...

Hi fellas,

Does anyone have an idea of the time it takes for the British passport for the child born in the UK once the biometrics have been taken?

Thanks,

Thanks,

Any response will be much appreciated.

Hi folks, I had been to the Post Office today to do the biometrics required for the British citizenship of my son.

Dear all, My wife and I have our ILR approved last weekend (23rd) and are awaiting BRP cards which should arrive this week.

Thanks a ton for your response & clarification. Appreciate it :) Yes, just had trips in Jersey & Guernsey which I will mention as absences from the UK. Never worked there. Basically I was confused whether I should fill anything in Section 6.9 till 6.11 which I believe not, as it only relates to work...

Agree, but that doesn't answer my question of whether time spent in Jersey/Guernsey as a tourist should be listed as absences from UK (even though the passport doesn't carry stamps to support it)?

Hi guys, The Immigration Rules mention about time spent with a valid leave in Jersey & Guernsey for employment purposes may be included in the continuous period of 5 years lawful residence in the UK. I have a query in regards to a visit as a tourist that I had made to Jersey and Guernsey on my Tier ...

Cool, thanks. This is what I wanted to know.

Agree, but is it worth mentioning in the SET(O) form?
