Hi I have completed my Part b application for OCI to be transferred to my daughters new passport. Just realized that I have not entered the new passport number in the application or they haven't asked. The first page asked me to enter the passport number as in OCI card. So I gave the old passport nu...

Hi, My OCI got approved by December 30. My first mistake is that I did not see the status until January 15th. Second one, I am out of UK until Feb 13th. Is it ok if I come back and collect it or is there anything that the OCI will be invalid due to non collection. Is there any email Id that I can co...
Hi Currently my wife and kid are in India and they aim to return by feb end. Their OCI are ready for collection. As I am going to India now, is it ok if i take their british passports, come to uk, stamp their OCI and I am going again on feb end to pick them up. Does this create any problems in immig...
Hi I just applied OCI for myself today at London. As my wife and kid are in India, they will be coming only by February. I was wondering whether they need to go in person to apply or can I go in person to apply for them? I feel bit comfortable applying in person as it saves all hurdle of originals a...
Hi I might be in India for more than 2 months. During my stay in India, if i get the online status to send british passport for OCI sticker, should it be immediate or is it ok if i send it once i come back from India. Also, I am having tourist visa now, there is nothing like getting invalid once i s...
Hi, I am applying my post and have the following clarification. I am going to india on tourist visa shortly within 2 weeks and will return only after a month. Clarification: 1. Do we need to send 1 set or 2 set of copy documents via post? 2. The online guidance says 51*51 whereas the application sho...

Does the tourist visa (6 Months) have any restriction of 180 days per visit? Also, is it for single entry or multiple entry? Do i need to fill in undertaking lette...
Hello A Big thanks to this forum as my journey has come to an end. Its been 7 years since I came to UK and went through various stages from WP+tier1+ILR+Naturalization+BC. Throughout these stages, I would not have done it successfully without the help of this forum. A Big thanks again to all those w...
Hi, Finished the appointment today. Overall, it was very friendly and went quite good. But, at the end the examiner mentioned that there are some internal checks to be done and you will hear us within 10 days. I asked him whether this is common for everyone and he said yes. Just want to check with o...

I had applied on September 13 for myself and my wife and yet to get an interview letter. The application processing time seems to be very fast where people are getting it within a week. I...
I am feeling bit frustrated as I had sent my appliction on 13/09 and Passport office had requested for additional documentation i.e ILR of my wife. After submitting those, its been a week and still they say the same answer as 'Continuing Checks'. My application is also held up due to my wife's check...

Hello That is true, take my case where myself and my wife applied and my wife got letter from passport office requesting for ILR. Our application are still in progress, We applied through check and send on 15/09/2014. But, I highly doubt that the reason they asked for my wife is since she changed he...
Hi, We did talk to the examiner at the passport and for some checks they asked if ILR can be sent to them for my wife. Don't know why they are asking even after getting Naturalization. Regards Krish Hi We called up today and they mentioned to send the passport which was originally used to enter into...
Hi My wife have already sent the Naturalization certificate. Now, I am getting bit sceptical as I sent only my current indian passport and not my old passport which had the uk entry visa. Is it mandatory as they asked to send only uncancelled passports. Also the link you have given is for only peopl...
Hi Can anyone advise whether Passport office have the right to ask for addtional documentation as well. Also, i had two passports where i sent the uncancelled one, does it mean they will ask my old passport as well? Please clarify whether anyone had received letter from passport office requesting ad...
Hi, Received a letter for my wife asking them to contact with regards to her passport application. When contacted, they asked to send her ILR to verify some details. I was very surprised that they asked this question after all Naturalizaiton process is done and while applying the passport. They even...
Hi We called up today and they mentioned to send the passport which was originally used to enter into UK as they want to find the date of entry. We told that we had already sent the uncancelled passports and they said they will talk to examiner again/ We are very much confused why they need the date...
