yes, the checklist is fine.
pls submit all pages of Indian passport including blank pages. usually photo copies are retained for reference and if you didn't submit copies of blank page it may also mean the missing page had some travel stamp and perhaps erroneously (or purposefully) excluded.

passport can be surrendered upto 3 years from naturalisation w/o incurring any penalty.

the 90 days restriction is only on travel using indian passport.

I don't want to add stress onto your situation but have you considered any alternate plan in case things get delayed?

Can someone help if the rent agreement has to be furnished to UKBA stating the number of bedrooms or just the address sho...

I slightly edited my previous post whilst you were replying

a british citizen is of two types - citizenship by descent and citizenship otherwise by descent

the latter can transfer citizenship to their child born abroad.

There are countries that don't recognise dual citizenship. Renouncing current nationality for gaining British citizenship is a big decision for many applicant and some of them may choose to renounce BC at a latter stage and regain their old nationality for family/career/political/emotional reasons. ...

ok, so they are not expecting the marriage to be registered in EU but rather legalisation of the marriage certificate which is a separate thing. though it's unusual to ask as you are applying from Tunisia using a Tunis public document but as i mentioned in my earlier post, it's better to get the doc...

they are definitely wrong. please ask them to either confirm you in writing or esclate to higher authorities in the maltese embassy or malta foreign office

sounds very odd request to me......

did they confirm you in writing what exactly they require? or mentioned verbally?

I have travelled out of UK on few occasions after my ceremony while I haven't yet applied for British passport. I entered on my old passport and ILR. You were allowed entry on the basis of British citizenship right of abode. The home office record showed the I/O that you were a BC even though you d...

are you applying from tunisia or algeria? if you are applying from tunisia then they should accept the national document if you are applying from algeria then you may need to get it apostilled (?). it seems Tunisia has recently signed the Hague convention. If it is not not yet fully fully operationa...

yes a penalty is payble. pls do keep posted with the outcome of the surrender application.

thanks vinny

The answer may not be as simple as that. What exactly we mean by “cancellation” or “invalidation” of ILR? Do we mean physical cancellation (i.e. for ILR vignette endorsed with a stamp “cancelled without prejudice” or surrendering the BRP) or cancellation in HO internal records? If it’s the former, t...

A British citizen has right of abode to the UK. A passport or CoE is a travel document and also acts an evidence in support of the right of abode. Even in absence of a passport or travel document – a British citizen, once arrived at UK border, would be allowed entry provided the border officials are...

French embassy in india is saying that you can apply only for 3 months validity and if one wants to travel after 3 months of reaching uk then where do you have to apply. Did you speak with French embassy directly or to VFS agents? I am not sure if the "3 months validity" got lost in translation. Va...

it's difficult to say whether you would be allowed entry - depends on your supporting paper work and I/Os discretion. If you have already been advised to apply for visa for future travel - especially if you plan to undertake similar short trips - then a visa is recommended. also see Frequency and du...

You'll be able to repatriate upto 1m USD per year from india though your NRO a/c after paying applicable taxes.

notarised sponsorship letter is not a requirement.
usually you should send the original letter but for many just scanned copy worked too.

perhaps this will help - taken from the passport section but should be applicable to other applications. Application form completely filled in and signed by the applicant. Child should sign/write his/her name at the relevant place of signature of applicant in the application form. If the child canno...

see a similar post What does this passport stamp mean?

you haven't included documents in support of child's Indian origin proof

so include - your indian passport surrender certificate (as you haven't received OCI) OR OCI card (if you receive it before child's OCI application)
also include your wife's Indian passport and marriage certificate.
