Hi everyone, My partner, who lives in the US, has just been refused a General Visit Visa for the usual reasons - not enough of her own money and not demonstrating strong enough links to her home country to make them think she will return there.

Re: Indian Visa extension (from India) for British Child

Yes, that's partially correct. SPs have jurisdiction to extend visas on certain circumstances.
He(You) would need to submit the visa extension form and certain other documents. However in the first stance please contact your local FRRO or SP's office for specific requirements and steps.

As Vinny pointed out in the earlier thread, refer to 46 46. As can be seen, the general provisions in the 1971 Act regarding leave to enter and remain are expressly stated not to apply where a person is a British citizen. We do not consider that it is compatible with the scheme of that Act to regard...

Re: Getting OCI stamp on passport

In person collection is an option in emergency situation on exception basis however I can't say whether they would consider your situation as emergency and allow you to collect in person as these are dealt on case by case basis.

Re: PIO Application for Minor in HCI, London: My experience

The routes have been merged and in effect now.
One can't apply for PIO anymore - OCI is the only available route.
Existing PIO cardholders are treated as OCI.

Re: Getting OCI stamp on passport

as per a recent circular the OCI U visa sticker on foreign passport is going to be discontinued and the OCI booklet would be good enough for travel.

keep watching for updates on HCI website. You might be lucky.

It's likely surrender certificate will be required along with your new visa application.
You can easily get a surrender certificate as pre 2010 application is pretty simple and costs less money as well

Re: NO U visa for OCI anymore

Good initiative though it's not clear whether whether existing OCI cards would also be endorsed with "Visa validity - Lifelong" (or probably it would be by default assumed existing OCI cards also contain "Visa validity - Lifelong" status without any physical endorsement )

Re: entry to exit. uk.

no, that's not possible.
visit means short stay. If your parents stay here for 6 months it's expected they would be spending around same time in their place of residence before returning to UK for another visit.
