Hey it is not mandatory to submit notarized copy, i just did it to be on the safe side ... the covering letter just lists all the documents you are submitting, so it makes it easier for the ECO to use that as a checklist ... I submitted all originals and one set photocopy too ... No, you don't need ...

Firstly, the documents you need for naturalisation are all passports held, Life in the UK pass certificate, completed form (dec 2012 version) and fee slip .. that's it ... secondly, i would say provide the information which is factual and correct ... if the passport names the town, write down the na...

that is odd, i didnt submit the SU07 form ... but my employer letter had clearly distinguished between gross pay and net pay as the UKBA guidance states the letter should clearly mention this ...

my document list is below, now this is to the best of my memory! ... i had summarized this in a covering letter and will try and find that for you ... in the meantime ... - Indian Passport (Spouse - all passports held) - Passport size photo (as explained in UKBA guidance) - Tuberculosis Certificate ...

congrats! ... i can associate with that feeling of relief ...

Please refer to section 4.1 4.2 and 4.3 of the link below ... although points do not apply for spouse visas, the points based calculator is what case workers will look to determine if the qualification is NARIC recognised. http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/documents/policyandlaw/IDIs/chp...

First, lets detach the two components of this tax arrangement I call the Ken Livingstone arrangement (perfectly legal but not HMRC friendly!). A) Company - which submits CT600, can register for VAT which is optional (but mandatory if you exceed 77K turnover) and can register for PAYE which is option...

You need to meet the requirements at the time of submitting an application. Having said that, in some instances, they ask for more information regarding certain aspects of the application. In your case, if this relates to employment, it might be difficult to explain. You say 24 payslips, I am not su...

From memory. there are 2 forms VFS A or B, please go through this and selecting the right version will answer your query. You could put your home address and later stay in the hotel ... It will be hard to explain this staying arrangement on an application form, if you are sponsoring. If you are an I...

can you kindly explain why the application was rejected? what reasons were stated?

aishpe wrote:if rejected is it better to appeal or put in a fresh application? is it allowed to put in a fresh application?

- Regarding your first query, I would say full copy of passport should be submitted and this should preferably be a notarized copy. there have been few cases of rejection where this was not submitted. - On second query, Yes, more so in your case. If you have been with the same employer for over six ...

1) when UK sponsor is flying to india for marriage - does UK sponsor need to submit passport copy page showing india entry stamp or not mandatory as marriage certificate there? 2) if UK sponsor changed his job 2 months ago but earning £45k+ does UK sponsor still need to submit 12 months pay slips an...

I have heard of only one case where it took approx. 5 months from start to finish. I think they want ppl to submit a fresh application. For all those who have appealed their visa decisions: How long has/is your appeal taken/taking? The UKBA website states the following: You appeal will be accepted w...

You are welcome william. Yes, Mumbai BHC are a helpful lot. Found the same number after looking it up. Thanks Srik. Will try and email first and then call them next week, if i they take my call. Not sure how the BHC is in Delhi but reading this forum it seems that they are not that friendly!!!! Mumb...

The BHC website says the number is (91) (11) 2419 2100 ... Did you try this number? Does anybody know if BHC in Delhi can be contacted by phone with regards to Settlement Visa applications? and if so what is their number? I just need to know if my wife's application is under process as VFS are unabl...

All, This seems to be a recurring query on English Language Requirements for spouse visa's. - If the qualification (at Bachelors level) is recognised in the UKBA points calculator, then no further proof is required. you need to submit the UKBA PBS print out and original degree certificate. - If the ...

My understanding is that you do not need as it is recognised on the points based calculator Also NARIC offers two services, which one would you opt for? - Statement of Comparability - English Language Assessment Thanks regarding english language requirement. My wife has got Bachelor in Dental Scienc...

(022) 67866000 is the contact number (Monday - Friday from 08:00 am to 5:00 pm India time)

William1234 wrote:@srik...I have emailed them but they keep sending a standard reply about processing times!!!! ��

Does anybody have a number for them??

Have you tried calling VFS to explain your situation? My guess is that their online system has not been updated ..

William1234 wrote:i applied at the Kolkata VFS office

I agree, atleast on the bright side they didn't reject it for this silly reason ... So be positive :) You could check IR35 with your accountant/tax agent and see what they say ... Hi srik_1983 Thanks for reply, yes am self employed filling SA100 and account files online submission and I have also su...

If you are self-employed filling out SA100 return, then in theory you cannot work for one employer only (unless you are IR35 compliant). You can check with your accountant if he has looked into this and you should be fine! I really doubt if the UKBA in India are going to get into this level of detai...

I get your point .. my wife has applied on 30th Nov, will keep this forum updated on when we get our visa ... I was thinking about entry clearance at Heathrow when you enter the UK. Oh, I was not aware of the visa visit thingy ... All very uncertain! The chances of getting approval for a visit visa ...
