As soon as I posted this thread witht he above question, another question has come up. Apologies in advance. - English language requirements - I read through the forum and understand that doing the below test would be best: - IELTS for UKVI (scroe 4.0 - B1) - Will it be Valid for Entry Clearance (fi...

Hi All I have always received very valuable feedback from this board. I am in a situation right now and need some help: My Wife: OCI holder (British Naturalised) Married for 4 Years Myself: British - Naturalised Previously: Afghan Situation: My family Sought Asylum when we came to the UK and I was M...

Hi Ksegal

I don't think that would be possible.

1) apply for your OCI
2) apply for your wife' and son's OCI after you have your OCI as it is part of the required prof if applying for OCI as a spouse of an OCI holder

Hi Joshig

I don't think that's possible as one of the requirements to submit an OCI application is to submit the surrender certificate as an evidence with the application.

So you would have to wait for your surrender certificate before applying for the OCI.

Hope this helps.

Hi all We are planning to go to US for the long weekend, only for a couple of days. My wife applied for OCI and today (Friday) the status shows as OCI being printed in India but it has not been dispatched to London yet.

Hello Everyone My cousin has come to the UK on Employer sponsored Teri 2 VISA for just 3 months. She is looking to visit DisneyLand Paris if she can get Schenghen VISA from any of the French Consulate. I was wondering what sort of documents would be good to submit for a successful result if at all p...

I guess the answer is no, have to get surrender certificate first than go for X category visa. Although she can travel on her Indian passport, she is a bit cautious of any issue it may cause. So we will go a little safer and get her visa on British passport instead.

Thanks to everyone for your help.

Thanks for your help, makes sense. I have one other question. - British Passport interview booked for Tuesday, so expect it to come by Friday or early next week - Is it possible to apply for Inidian passport surrender certificate and category X visa both at the same time from the VFS? My brother is ...
