Hello I'm a UK citizen based in London and want to marry a girl in Bangalore, India (both of us are Hindus). I'm originally from Gurgaon, India, been in the uk for 10+ years. My questions are: 1. As I understand, I need to be in India, get a 'same day hindu court marriage' (via Arya samaj method) do...

Dear all Today I received my OCI booklet and Life long Visa vignette. I'm planning to travel to India sometime next week - just for my peace of mind I wanted to poll the group that is there anything apart from the obvious I need to be aware of? Obvious being that I should be carrying both the OCI bo...

Yah! correct. I had used Chorome. I am not sure if system allows me to re-fill application using IE. I am planing to submit earlier version only, sounds like it would be alright. Thanks, I also used Chrome! Even now you can regenerate your application from IE. 1. Using IE go to this link: https://p...

Can you suggest is that OK to proceed with same or do I have fill online application again? I faced a similar issue - and only realized this when I saw some fellow applicants' pages while sitting and waiting in front of the OCI counter inside Indian embassy in London! Thankfully, my application was...

Firstly, the documents you need for naturalisation are all passports held, Life in the UK pass certificate, completed form (dec 2012 version) and fee slip .. that's it ... Thanks, much appreciated. for country check what country it was at that time and write that ... Thanks, agreed, incidentally, t...

Hi, I'm an Indian passport holder and after having been granted ILR on 05-Jan-12 I'm applying for Naturalisation tomorrow (21-Jan-13) at my local NCS (based on 5 year residence), my questions are: 1) Interestingly, my father was born in British India (prior to Independence and partition), in a town ...

Thank you Jambo! That's what I thought...

Many thanks Asmi! 1) Can I apply using form AN anytime after 06-Jan-2012? NO. You cannot apply before 5th Feb 2012 Sorry, firstly a correction in my question quoted above, I meant 06-Jan-2013 (I think you probably guessed that)...but even then why do you say 05-Feb-2013 instead? Is it because of the...

Hi everyone - here is my brief immigration history: 1) Entered UK on 05-Feb 2007 on a 5 year work permit 2) Switched to T1G in Sep-2010 (valid for 2 yrs) 3) Got ILR on 05-Jan-2012 4) Indian passport holder I'm thinking about applying for Naturalization, here are my questions: 1) Can I apply using fo...

The question is if I mention the dates of departures and arrivals on SET O form and mention only the whole days on the letter from employer they may cause some discrepancy. The problem is that if I count the whole days then my absences and 167 but If i count even the departure and arrival dates it ...

Hi When you are counting absent days from the UK for ILR, do the departure and arrival dates count as dates in the UK or away? For example, if you left the UK on Jun 1st and came back on Jun 3rd, is that 1 day away or 3 days away? Thank you This question has been answered many times in the forum an...

Here is my initial timeline. visa start date 3 jan 2008, entry in uk 30 jan 2008, left uk 2 march 2008, unpaid leave. came back 15 april 2008, started work here - employed since then to now. In that case, your ILR clock should start on 30-Jan-08, but the absence from 03-Mar-08 to 14-Apr-08 (discoun...

i came into UK in year 2008 (entered within 28 days), I went back to my home country after getting job offer for 50 days to serve notice period In absence of precise arrival and departure dates it is rather difficult to answer your question. But, purely based on my gut, if you traveled out of UK af...

My query is it mandatory for me to provide an evidence for the a/l / holidays even i am in a continous employment. If yes what evidence can i provide to satisfy this requirement. You will be better off creating a list of absences (containing departure, arrival dates, destination, purpose of travel,...

1) 18 Aug 2008 - 10 Feb 2009 - 177 days IMHO, the duration (177 days) of unpaid absence from the country is slightly worrisome as its more than 90 days at a time; but the good thing is that both your reasons - medical treatment & marriage are compassionate in nature. However, it will be good to und...

This should be sufficient, IMHO.

i dont want to naturalise and want to loose my current nationality This question is specific to your current citizensip. What is your current citizenship?

You mean if I cannot supply a sort of proof of address it is ok?

Yes

Hi,
I do not think this should be a problem. Also, read this page.

When are you due for ILR? And how many days have you been away from the UK already? In any case as far as this business travel is concerned my advice would be the following: Option 1: Avoid travel completely if you can, until after you've received your ILR Option 2: If you're forced to go then agree...

Unless your friend is covered by HSMP JR (Judicial Review) - which I think he is not, there are no exemptions available to him as far as Settlement is concerned. He must claim equal or more number of points as compared to his last grant of leave in the qualifying category (which is 22-Feb-10 as per ...
