When I had applied for my OCI last year, I had collected the card and got the sticker in my passport in person from the HCI London office. However, now I see from people's timelines that they have posted their passport and then received it with the sticker in the post. Is it no longer possible to go...

It seems like the OCI Collection times gave changed very recently (23/12/2013) It used to be submission of documents before 12 and then collection at 430 pm, which meant spending the whole day. However it seems like they've changed to a more sensible submission of documents between 2-4 and then coll...

Hey could I just check the date of your Approval Letter, the timeline threads are abuzz with some sort of IT Problem plaguing approvals since 25th July.
Be interesting to know the date on your approval letter to understand if we have seen off this alleged IT issue.
The NCS Case Worker will do all the copies for you. They will photocopy all your passports, Life in the UK Test Cert, Marriage Cert etc and return the originals to you there and then. If you're self employed or if your passport does not cover the residence requirements, then you may need to suppleme...
Thanks Amber, I'm not sure of what the technical term for closing down a company is, but I think the Accountant used the word liquidation, or maybe that was just me.
I just wanted to check if it was safer for me to wait until I get my BC, or whether it was of no consequence.

I have applied for BC via NCS on Sat. I was wondering if there was an expected timeline of when I could expect the NCS to forward my application onto the UKBA and when I should expect to receive an acknowledgement. I read about some tech problems plaguing the HO which is preventing them sending out ...
As long as she got her dependant tier 1 or equivalent visa before july 2012, she can apply directly for ILR as long as she has leave to remain until then - which she seems to have. This is as per Section 319(E) http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/policyandlaw/immigrationlaw/immigrationrules/part8/fami...
Yes as long as she got her dependent visa before July, she can apply for ILR after 2 years. If she is on a Tier 1 Dependant - she needs to use SET(O) If she switched to an FLR(M) (ILR Dependant) when you got your ILR, then she needs to apply via SET(M) http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/policyandlaw/...
@Sathish My Tier 1 visa (as also my wife's) was valid until Jan 2013 however I became eligible for ILR in July 2012! (I am legally allowed to enter the UK before my wife did, she joined my after marriage!) :) @Shekhar As per Sec 319(E) (google for this immigration law) which allows a dependant to ap...
I was granted ILR (based on Tier 1 PBS) in Jul 2012. However I could not include my wife as she had not completed the 2 year qualification period (she was in the UK before Jul 2012, so the new 5 year criteria did not apply). She had Tier 1 Dependant Visa valid until Jan 2013, which meant that she di...
Hi there, I was filling out the SET(O) form for my appointment this week, and it does seem like most of the form will remain empty. Did you tick Category :Other purpose not cover in the form As the Category ? Did you put your own name as the response anywhere in the form - just seems a bit strange t...
I had a similar query - I was granted ILR in July this year and am now applying for ILR for my wife (she is currently on Tier 1 PBS Dependant). Therefore the appointment is just booked for her - will I be able to accompany her for the appointment, as she is a dependant ? Or do I need to book a separ...
Thanks very much for your prompt response. Last few questions : Is there any minimum maintenance fund requirement for this ? (I know you've written there was below 1 K in the account, but is 1K a min requirement?) Lastly, any minimum salary / annual income you have to show to be able to qualify for ...
