"after affixing OCI Visa along with OCI Card"

My husband and I received our OCI cards in January along with our UK passports. However our UK passport do not have any endorsement or "affixing" of any kind. Is that correct? or was something missed out??

Re: December 2014 - Naturalisation Application Timeline

Hi everyone, I applied back in Dec 2014 and it has been 6 months now - I see on this forum that people mention about phoning HO. Does anyone know which number? I tried the 0300 123 2253 and didn't find it helpful at all... any other suggestions??

Many thanks... I was concerned they might say you only have 3 weeks left on your visa, why are you coming back! - clearly I am being paranoid...

travelling home close to visa expiry

my Tier 1 (G) visa expires start of Jan 2014 and I want to make a short trip home at the start of Dec 2013, and then come back to make my ILR application - would I be OK to do so? Have there been any issues around this before?

I'd be very grateful for your advise.

I was very much employed but had used up all my most of my allowance for year 2011/12. So I added 2 weeks unpaid to 1 week paid holiday - which my manager approved. I have been working with the same organisation since 2007 and can get a letter with details of all leave.
