Re: Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI)

HI All,

I submitted original passport for OCI printing (after online status changed to "Document received At London").

But they haven't given me any confirmation that they received the passport and special delivery envelope.

Is this normal?

Re: Will PBS dependent's ILR clock resets on 2nd entry clearance application before 1st visa expired?

I think there is no definite list of proofs. Just anything that satisfies case worker that you were in a relationship.

We submitted a snapshot of mails exchanged during this time and my flight tickets to visit my wife and child.

Hope it goes well

Re: British Citizenship - New Online Application

Thank you alexmdev.

Just for my piece of mind, have you personally done that or any other member who have done that? or can you point me to some link that suggests so.

Also if it is ok to do so, is it a must to do the citizenship ceremony too at the same council?

Cheers

Thank you, CR001. You are super-quick, as always!

(2) I will wait for others views on NDRS

(5) I assume you are saying 'Yes' to the first-part of my question - that we can use the same form for registering a non-UK born child?
