Hi Yes. Just write like self attested by and sign (Applicant) for minors it’s both parents. Yes normal A4 with enough postage. Yes it should be fine as I have surrendered my child passport which expired 2.5 years ago. If you already not, just one person is enough to submit multiple family applicatio...

Hi Yes, thats what I did with my child's application. I didn't have the certificate but online tracking says it is printed and then I assume you should be fine as well. Depending on who you meet at the desk, they might demand citizenship certificate but just insist its not applicable in your case an...

Hi Shrikant, Could you please update here as I am in similar situation. After a bit of hassle, VFS accepted the application of surrender of child's Indian passport without the naturalisation certificate as I've explained them that child is British by birth. I am wondering I might be asked this again...

I did my scan with 300 dpi. UKVCAS confirmed the scan quality was good. If you are using a higher dpi (600, for example), you can try reducing it to 300. If it still doesn't work, try uploading the passports in two files - part 1 and part 2. Thanks a lot I have One last question There are following...

Thanks for all the support given in this forum and I wish those who were waiting for decision will hear soon from HO.

Hi Guys How are you able to book the Super priority service. Will you see this option on Home office website or UKVCAS website. On the Home Office application I see only two options 1) new service and 2) existing service When I click New service I dont get any option of Super priority nor on the ex...

Very useful thread as we are getting alot of info. I am about to submit my application by choosing super priority service. I have 1 question. when we are redirected to sopra site for document upload and choosing appointment, can we choose appointment venue anywhere or it has to be closest to our ho...

Hi R-graphite

Not Today, but few days ago and at time it gave me a choice to choose between standard/super priority option.

Hi We just done the online application and still needs to attend the appointment. Below is what I answered but experienced members can give more information. You are right there’s no restriction on number of days for absences for SET(M) and you just need to declare all the days you are out of UK. I ...

Hi My spouse is due to apply under SET(M) in next week. In the old process, bank statements and play slips needs to be signed and stamped. In the new process everything is digital , documents needs to be uploaded to sopra system. Does it mean online payslips (directly downloaded from portal)and bank...

Yes, that is correct!!!!!!!!!

I don't think you even need old passport because they have stopped affixing sticker and all you need to show is OCI card/booklet with valid passport at the time of travel.

Re issue of OCI is not mandatory for applicants aged between 21 to 50 years.

It's mandatory for children every time they renew their passports like every 5 years.

Hi When I Applied it was full of chaos as passport processing changed from regional offices to UK and there is no proper communication between new Delhi and Liverpool. We were told different things by two offices where /what to send and hence long delay of 11 months for issue of passport. I guess ev...

Hi

I guess you should be okay with your docs and if you have any proof for child passport application then include.

I don't know what to say but Applying child passport from India is the worst I've ever done and really hope everything goes well on your side.

Hi If you are going in person then original passport is needed otherwise copy of every page in colour. I've done this recently in person and my wife is out of country for 15 months but that's starting period after visa issued. All I did was wrote a letter explaining the lack of cohabitation document...

Try another Barclays Branch if you have or Request the Temporary Bank statement through telephone. If I remember Barclays attach a Letter saying that temporary statements are generated in that particular format.

You can also change the date of statement to whatever date you want by phoning or visiting the bank.

Hi

Your wife can still attend the interview and you need to apply for refund of over payment.

Details of how to apply refund can be found on website.

Hi I've submitted the color printout of online utility bills and got approved at in person appointment, even my tenanacy agreement is digital document and no questions asked. May be senior members can correct but I haven't seen this requirement for cohabitation evidence and I guess that's for financ...

Hi, I will try and answer as much as I can, I've recently done FLR(m) at PEO. One general comment though is you need to cut down your documents to required minimum. When application asks you 6 why submitting 31? Caseworker need to photocopy the documents and imagine how long it will take him to do d...
