Re: citizenship certificate

Thankyou. Another related query. I understand I need to return BRP card after getting the certificate. Can I travel (to India) and apply for British passport from India ?

citizenship certificate

Hi
How long does it take to receive the citizenship certificate after the ceremony ? Does it depend on whether you attended private or in a group ?

Re: new OCI under processing since 1 month

Hi,

What is the next step ? The status says document dispatched to London.

I have the courier envelop which was given to me when I submitted the application.
What's the next step, should I go to vsf center and give them the envelop or wait for an email from vfs ?

new OCI under processing since 1 month

Applied for new OCI about a month ago, the status is still under processing. Is that normal ? Should I wait or contact vfs - will they have more specific status ?

Re: URGENT: Any Walk-In service for OCI ?

If you plan to walk-in ensure you are among first 10 in the queue. Number of walk-in they accept is unknown - I was in the queue with about 20 people in front and suddenly they said we are not accepting walk-in now.

Re: Supporting docs query.

Q4. I have filled online application, two applicants me and spouse. It didn't ask for marriage certificate. Also nothing about P60 / payslips.

I was looking at paper application form which asked marriage certificate, P60 and payslips. Are they needed ?

Re: Do I need to apply for naturalization

If I have lost my LIUK test certificate is it possible to get a copy from the test centre.

Also lets say if its validity has expired (say its been more than two years). can that still be used for naturalization or do I need to take the test again?
