Early morning appointments (8:30/8:45) tend to be better as you could have walk-ins and others piling on your slot later during the day delaying your appoi...

Re: Online submission of supporting documents for OCI

Just finished my OCI appointment today and the answer is No, supporting documents dont need to self-attested prior to uploading them. You do however need to provide self attested copies of the same docs during your VFS appointment.

Online submission of supporting documents for OCI

Hi,

During my surrender certificate appointment, VFS representative mentioned that all supporting docs need to be submitted online prior to OCI VFS appointment. Do the supporting documents need to be self-attested prior to upload?

Re: 90 days Absences in Last Year Calcuation

Thank you for your response. I am assuming the first question is good to go? "Is it ok to consider part of this trip from last year towards my 90 days (Feb 11th 2022 - Feb 28th 2022)?"

Re: ILR with Tier 1 ET + Tier 2 General combo

@Evan, that's great that you can apply now. @Zimba, many thanks for the confirmation, if there is an employment gap during Tier 2G does this affect the ILR app? During Tier 2G, after leaving my previous employer, there was a period of a few months where the company made an administrative mistake and...

Re: Manchester Curtailment Team address

Why shouldn't I ask if they have sent a curtailment letter or not? It is well within my rights to do so and I have my reasons to ask for it. UK V&I often sends letter to old addresses, its been a while and I haven't received one. Sticking to the question,does anyone have a response to my question ?
