Re: TS10 - Red Light Conviction and Naturalisation

All these silly bans tell me that my decision of not driving from the point they changed the rule till I got citizenship was not as absurd as my colleagues thought. Speeding , jumping light can always happen in error of judgement and to wait for 3 years for this is too much. Repeated offence is anot...

Re: No SMS for 6 days after passport application - is this n

It is definitely not unusual. Post Office sends your application after number of days and then it takes time for them to enter your record in the system.

I have waited 6 working days.

How can you apply for passport without naturalisation? Your son is not british by birth and he will be british only after naturalisation.

Re: Passport application form question?

If you are not claiming citizenship based on your grandparents status, you do not need to fill this part.

Simply write unknown or leave it blank.

I and many others did this and happily got our passports.

If you still feel uncomfortable, just make it up.

Oci is valid for life time and hence there is nothing called oci renewal. Stay in india for 5 years and you are indian citizen again. Financial status is exactly same as NRI. i guess since you are eligible for naturalisation, you already atleast have a Nri status and all that continues. Many people ...

Hmm..so many abuse of law mentioned. I would ask a simple question. Was dowry taken even if it is Rs. 1? If yes, that itself is a crime but sadly this is such an widely accepted practice in India. If one accepts dowry, it is only fitting that someone abuses the law later. Abuse is the reply of an ab...
