Thanks for the link and the information sysnerul, and sorry for not helping on any of your queries, in my defence I know much less than you do on this topic at the moment. I am actually looking for advice from you. My case is a bit different, my wife's current Indian passport is on her maiden name. ...
Wow, looks like UKBA is trying to catch up with the approval times, after the 28th October rush. However there are still quite a lot of october approvals pending which is kind of worrying. I wonder how the December applications will fare in terms on approval times after fee debit.
Hi Marsenal, 1) Make sure you carry the same identity proof as you did for your LIUK test 2) Do not see any KOLL proof? 3) Carry as much correspondence as you have from UKBA, my NCS person took copies of all, just to provide as much context as possible to the case worker. 4) Doesnt look like this is...
Hi Rikken, I am afraid I cannot help there, I am not even sure when my payment was taken, as previously I was only looking at the balance, not the available balance. BTW my balance is still not showing the fee taken, nor is there any transaction, only the available balance is £1550 pounds less. I am...
Thanks for all the inputs jacsll55, I will be doing this in a couple of months time, so expect some PMs at that time. I hope you will be checking PMs by then :). If you have any children consent letter ( ask me I will give you the format) Can you PM me the format please? My use-case is a bit differe...
I am creating this thread to record some timelines for OCI applications made from India. Can experienced members please put some timelines, to help people like me who will at some point in the future apply for OCI from India.
Thanks jacsll55, I will send a more detailed PM in a couple of months time or so, when I get my British passport. The entry visa page on the VFS says: "An Entry Visa is granted for a specific purpose (short term courses and unpaid internships) or other non-business related purposes. An Invitation le...

Congrats TTOE. For me funds available have gone down by £1550 this morning. Rikken, this is sometimes misleading, in my case for instance balance is still the same, but "Funds available" has gone down. You might want to check it out too. Really hoping decision comes through within a month now, and i...
Yeah, exactly my thoughts. But you know its kind of un-british to call a spade a spade. Back where I come from, I would have told him exactly what I think about his claim .
Good luck to you for next week too, I hope all december payments go through in the next couple of weeks.
Hi Fred2141 and TTOE, Thanks for posting this, I have applied on 17th December too (application reached UKBA), and I paid through my Lloyds bank debit card. Just to be sure I called them today, and informed them of an upcoming transaction of £1550, however they refused to make any note, saying there...
Hi jacsll55, I have applied for naturalisation for my family and would then be applying for a visa for my family, and go back to India and apply for OCI soon after our arrival. Can I ask you why you chose entry visa as opposed to either tourist visa or 5 year long term visa? Could I request you to P...
