Really? I can now confirm they took one copy of photocopies for me at the VFS Goswell. 4 applications from members of my family, so those many photocopies.

Hey guys, I am applying for OCI and we are a family of 4. I remember someone telling me that I need to prepare two sets of documents (originals separate) with my application. That would make 8 sets for 4 of us. Just want to check with someone who has already done this, do I need two sets? or one set...

Thanks very much for your response

Hey guys, I have two questions if you could help please... 1) Due to personal circumstances, I am having to apply for OCI so that I can travel to India. I have a wife and two kids. Could I apply individually for simplicity sake now and then sort others out later? OR that is not advisable? 2) I was w...

Thanks for your response, that is helpful to know. I have another question if anyone can help, documents on property and rental income are in Gujarati language, how do I go about presenting that as a proof of their ties back in India please? I see reference about translation service in some posts bu...

Dear forum members, I have tried searching for this information on the forum but could not come to a conclusion, hence posting this as a new topic. Basically, I would like to invite my parents to come and visit us. I see lot of helpful threads on this matter, so that is all good and thanks to the fo...

Hello, I was on HSMP JR case, got ILR last year both mine and wife's. Now would like to apply for naturalisation, both of us have passed Life in UK and have certificates. Seeing that I was HSMP I wouldn't need to give ESOL but does my wife need to give ESOL? PS - She has an engineering degree from I...

My referee was contacted when I applied for my son's MN1.

Hi Vish, 1) I sent all originals for the MN1 application, but I used certified photocopy few years back and for that I just went down to a solicitor, he saw the original and on the photocopy he wrote down with a ballpen it is genuine and signed it. 2) If I remember correctly, originally I sent my so...

I was lucky to have my son's passport done just a day before we were flying. Couldn't sleep peacefully ever since I applied for my son's registration certificate. Only the day before got it done. No time to apply for visa though. Anyway, while going we used his Indian passport. I was asked at the He...

Not that it is going to make any difference to me but it would mean I have lost some time of my grace period.

Thanks for the info on the grace period. You are a star!

Nope, he doesn't have ILR. I did not include him to save me some money, those days naturalisation certificate used to issued in 4-5 weeks. It took good 3 months for them to issue a certificate for us, that too with a mistake. Apologies, by naturalisation certificate I meant certificate of registrati...

Guys, I have got a situation here, I had booked my travel and flying in two weeks time. My younger kid has got his british passport and I have also applied for his visa (due in 3-4 days), so no issue for him. But for my elder one, I had applied for Naturalisation Certificate. I received one but ther...

How about she travelling now to India on her Indian passport? Not worry about naturalisation certificate OR British passport. Apply for visitor visa from within India and travel back to UK on Indian passport with visitor visa. After arriving complete the procedure for naturalisation certificate/Brit...

Hi Fora,

Yes, I was on tier 1 general migrant. So it was HSMP (2 years) + Tier 1 (3 years).

This is the cover letter I wrote for my application. ------------------------------------------------ Public Enquiry Office Lunar House 40 Wellesley Road Croydon CR9 2BY <DATE> Re: Indefinite leave to remain application Dear Caseworker, I applied and was granted my Highly Skilled Migrant Visa on <DA...

I got my approval on 14 July 2006 while I was in UK already. I got my visa stamped on 9 August 2006.

Hello guys, Thanks to this forum, lovely guys helping others out and HSMP Forum Ltd. Applied for ILR for myself and wifey yesterday, 15/07/11 at Croydon PEO. I have a boy but born here in UK so I did not include him in this application to save me few bucks. Appointment was at 11:15am, reached well e...

I am assuming because Myvisaqueries ticked Tier 1 general under HSMP judicial review, he was asked 12 months payslips+bank statements?

Everywhere else on this forum, it has been 3 months payslips+bank statements for HSMP JR cases.

Not sure about your first two points but for the third point 1) After you get your MN1 registration certificate, apply for British passport from IPS 2) Surrender Indian Passport 3) Either apply for Indian visa or apply for PIO card for your daughter (there is a lot information on this forum for this).

Many congrats on your ILR success.
