Hello there, Please help me out if you have gone through a similar experience. I submitted my son's OCI application at VFS Hounslow. The GBRL number I was given was different from the one in the form generated online. I submitted on Sep 10th but till date have not received any acknowledgement and th...
Hello there, I did not give any certified copies. All documents submitted, in VFS (I am assuming baby is still in India), should be in A4 format (and I made colour photocopies). Your British passport number would help them lookup your details alongwith your original Naturalisation certificate. Pleas...
Hi there, Due to the new process, anything you take has to be in A4 paper size. Can be originals or photocopies. But please make sure that everything you submit is in A4 size, is single-sided and not back-to-back. Please make sure that there are no staples or clips in the documents as this will make...
Hi hunnysia, This was extremely useful. I'm applying for the RoA for my child too.. if you could please advise on the following would be so helpful (also the question of BL69) 1. Did you work out on the name of the child in the birth certificate? I have the same issue and since i urgently need to a...
Hey Suhu, Apologies for the delay, I hope you have applied by by now. I am not sure of the packages, IIRC there was a gold package and a platinum package. I didnt choose any of these, I went to the VFS and mentioned I wanted the priority service and paid in cash there directly. If the package says i...
The VFS site is very confusing and it looks like it is not set up from automatically transferring details from visa4uk for CoE-ROA to VFS. In the type of visa you can find a COE as the option. That was the most appropriate one and one that I used. As for package, choose what you like. I didnt choose...
Based on other threads in the forum, I filled it up as it would apply for a child i.e. Work status - Unemployed Income and expenditure - 0 Is someone paying for your trip - Yes Relationship with the person paying - Father How much is being paid - 1000 Why they are paying - child is X weeks/months ol...
The document arranging stuff they did for me before I bought the premium service. Even in the seating area, they called people one by people and did the same before they went to a counter. I guess this is for speeding up the process (One of the staff said the scanning is taking more time than the ol...
I don't think there is any time limit, except the expiry date given in the passport. This is a not a visa but a certificate saying they have a right of abode in the UK and the observation will say how they have right of abode (in my kid's case, British Citizen) so there shouldnt be a time limit. May...
Hello everyone, We got the CoE-RoA for our baby in a week from date of submitting documents. Hopefully the info below will be useful for people in the same situation. When you complete your application, you can book appointment using either standard or priority appointment. You cannot use the Super ...
Hey CR001, Thanks for responding. I did manage to get that bit right. I read other posts in the forum on CoE-RoA and chose Other->Other->Right of Abode Certificate of Entitlement and filled in the form as best as possible for this type of application and submitted it, paid the visa +priority appoint...
Hello everyone, Please bear with me as the search is not turning up clear information (probably due to the new VFS-UKVI process) and the new VFS website is an omnishambles. I am planning on apply for my 1 month old son's Right of Abode vignette in his Indian Passport (British Father, Indian mother, ...
Hello hunnysia, I am in a similar situation and it would be great if you can give some more details. 1. What documents did you submit ? 2. Cost of priority service (website shows two : one at ~21k INR and another at ~57k INR) 3. Did you work out the birth certificate name issue before applying ? Man...

Thanks CR001 for moving this to a separate topic. I didn't want to respond in the updates thread. Hey Mikmoo, you would have mentioned if you want to have the ceremony in your local council or a different council in your application. You can only book at that council. I only mentioned this idea of c...

I went with a solicitor and I got my ILR in about 90 mins at Croydon PSC. I wanted peace of mind and felt my case was not straight forward and it worked out. Good luck with yours !
I had something similar but more serious. Someone with a similar name to me, living in a similar area was defrauding pensioners, so there was a request to assist the enquiry. I didn't even think about this, just helped them by stating the facts that the bank account used was opened long before I mov...
