Hi I found the issue with my application. Initially I used the indian passport number to check the status and once the status changed as processed it started taking in the British Passport number.

Hi Did apply for my OCI on 7th Jan and was acknowledged on the 21st Jan 2014. Was able to see the status in online as UNDER PROCESS but today all of a sudden the website says no such record. Did you come across this issue earlier ? Is the HCI changing some kind of status in the background ? Thanks A...

Thanks for the update. So I can expect some movement this week going by the 3 weeks lag.

Had to apply by post as the day I went to hci around 200 people in the queue.

Hi gvk

Do you mind letting me know the date you posted the application ?

Hi

I'm planning to apply for the surrender certificate via post. How can we pay VFS? Checked for the bankers draft and it costs a fortune and same goes for the postal order as well.

How are people generally paying for the VFS service ?

Thanks

Thanks for all the replies.

Have submitted the letters from HMRC as mentioned in my previous posts and got my citizenship approval today.

Thanks
Arun

Hi Thanks for the advice. I dont have payslips. But have requested the home office for a employment history letter and that would cover period between 08 and 2011 From then onwards I was a self employed and have requested for the statement of accounts from the home office (which anyways have to be p...

Hi Sorry to hear about your situation. I think the problem lies with the employer here. Firstly can you see an NI number printed on your P-60 given by your employer. Specifically for the period of 2007 and does your salary slip has a NI number on it. A know a few indian companies which paid a consol...

Hi Yesterday I went to NCS tower hamlets. They refused to accept my application for 2 reasons: 1. Lost my Indian passport six months back. Got my new passport and also got my No Time Limit again. Now since the stamps are missing NCS rep told me I should provide alternative proof of stay like P60's, ...

Hi Subogh

Did you get your new passport. Also did you apply for your BC with or without visa ?

Hi

It's been 2 weeks since I've applied for it but no communications from home office yet.

Have you got your SAR ??

Hi Vinny Thanks again for the above document. From what I read: "Passports will not necessarily be stamped to show embarkation from the United Kingdom. In these and other circumstances (e.g. involving lost or stolen passports), applicants should be given the benefit of any doubt where claimed absenc...

Hi Vinny Thanks for pointing it out and have applied for SAR. I noticed that the home office is asking for passports as evidence of stay. I believe they are going to check the stamps on the passport. With the new passport they will not be able to do this. Should I be sending some other documentation...

Hi

Can you please let me know the procedure to apply for SAR to confirm that I have the ILR.

Thanks
Arun

Hi I'm also in a similar situation with both me and my wife missing our passports with the ILR stamping on it. I dont have the letter from UKBA but have the copies of the ILR stamping on the passport. Did you manage to find some more information as to if we can apply for the naturalisation with a pa...

Hi, Been a silent spectator on this forum and wanted to share my unique experience in the process of receiving my ILR. I'm a resident of London but chose to got to Solihull instead of Croydon which is apparently offering Saturday appointments this month. This is primarily to take advantage of the fa...
