Thanks ...

Looks like just wait a bit then.

I filed for OCI at HCI London via Royal Mail more than 2 weeks ago, but have not received any acknowledgment so far. Royal Mail confirms receipt via its website. I had enclosed a self address SD envelope but have yet to receive my originals from them. The online tracking simply says "No records foun...

Giving a bump hoping for replies

Hello Am a bit confused about this whole process and would appreciate some guidance: I am eligible for ILR, and have 3 dependents. If I apply in person, is it required that the dependents be with me? ** Added later *** : Apparently dependents are not required IWhat is this biometrics thing? Are they...

Hello, Was wondering what the opinion of the learned members here was in this case: I came to UK in June 2005 on a work permit for 5 years. In November 2009, I was granted a HSMP visa. I was continuously employed till March 2010 after which I was made redundant. I have the payslips to support the em...

Silly, replying to myself, but on other threads, people have said being unemployed is "not a problem". Maybe not officially, but do i stand a higher chance of being rejected?

Hello, I am a bit unclear on what my situation is: I have been in UK for nearly 5 years, and will be eligible for ILR application in May. All this time I have been continuously employed with a single employer. Unfortunately, I found out last week that I have been made redundant and my last day of wo...

Sorry to butt in, but could you please expand on this: If baby is born in UK before you/your husband get your ILR, baby is entitled to british citizenship by registration . So if the parents get ILR, the baby can immediately apply for British citizenship (assuming he was born before the ILR happened...

Thank you for the reply. When you say every one for himself, do they not consider stuff like income etc in making the decision? As current dependants they have no income, in fact the children wont even be able to give the citizenship test!

I have 2 children who were born in the UK, and are my dependants. We will be eligible for applying for citizenship soon, but I am not really sure that I want to lose my Indian passport, OCI not withstanding. Is it possible that only the children and the spouse can apply for citizenship? Note that th...

Yes, as long as they are instant access types (though how they will find that out I dont know).

I have used that, and have been approved.

Got approved as well Applied From: United Kingdom Application Sent: 25 Aug 2009 Confirmation received: 27 August 2009 Fee debited: 26 August 2009 Visa, Passport received: 19 September 2009 As a note, my application was rejected twice: once for photos not being "recent" enough and once because I rese...

^^^

Did the exact same thing. Lets see...

Finally got the refund, the same manner as the mode of payment.

took 15 days from date of rejection.

Incidentally they rejected me a second time: I resent the old application form. They want a brand new form. No fee was charged the second time.

How long did it take for them to issue the refund? Was it the same mode of payment as you used to pay them?

#2: Dont know when it will be refunded... the letter I got just said "arrangements will be made..." Has anyone got similar stuff in the letter? #3 Applied 3 weeks ago #4 Dont think so.. the requirement is for 12 consecutive months in a 15 month period. I had submitted till June 09 (since I applied i...

I had my application rejected as well, however the accompanying letter said that "arrangements will be made to refund the application fee".

Any idea how long does it take? The 0870 number for UKBA is never reachable.
