You need to make an application for British citizenship. Once approved, do your ceremony. After that, go for a deed poll to change your name. When you apply for British passport, you need to fill your new name (as shown on deed poll) and old name( as on your passport) and all done. It shouldn't be s...

Thanks for all your help. Now it's decided that I am moving to Denmark. Which visa should my wife apply as she is an Indian citizen and a spouse of a British citizen(me). I am moving to work there for 3-6 months. Both embassies provide information on how to apply for a visa. This should be free and ...

Thanks for your answers.

It can be Denmark or Belgium.

She may be required to have a visa, but should be easy to obtain.

Can you be more specific about where you want to go?

Given my situation above, is there any visa/provision which entitles my Non-EU wife to move to any EU country with me freely (i.e. without applying visa for that specific country). Hello, I got married last year when I was on ILR. My wife hence got dependent on ILR visa in May 2012 for a duration of...

Thanks. The way the guideline is written is quite confusing. It is quite vague on relationship of sponsor to his/her family members or the other way round.

I am a British Citizen and my wife has dependent visa. My wife's brother is applying from India under family visitor category. One of the VFS guy told him that you can't apply under this category. Is that correct as I am following the guidelines set out by UKBA (below):- ----------------------------...

Hi,

Can my wife's brother apply in the category of family visitor visa.

Thanks.

Ask your accountant about the due date of your return as per HMRC guidelines. If this date falls after your ideal citizenship application submission date, ask your accountant to issue a letter to you stating that your accounts are up-to-date.

Hi, While surrendering Indian passport, do I need to provide copies of all pages of my British passport or just the bio-data page. Same question for -Self attested photocopy of Indian passport (Used Pages) - Here 'used' pages means the pages with visa stamp or including those which are used by immig...

Okay, It takes around 3-4 months sometimes as there are a lot of fraudulent application submitted from this center so no need to worry.

It's a common practice to send British passport along with your supporting documents. No need to worry. Hi all, Just got interview letter today.

Ask IPS office while booking the interview. They ask if you have any special need. No. As this is a identify interview so she is the one that needs to answer the questions. British citizens are expected to be able to communicate in English. She should not worry about the interview. It's an interview...

Yes, They do ask about employment. They asked my work location, number of people working in the team,my manager name, my role in the team and how I go to office. They also ask about salary details, i.e. how does your salary get credited in your account. Which banks do you have current account with a...
