Original Passport aong with application

[dwetlpro]

Hello,

Is it mandatory to send the original passport also along with the application? I am prepared to send my other originals like certificates. Just little concerned about sending the passport along.

I saw some posts where they say just a notarized copy of the relevant pages is sufficient. But, many sites say that it is mandatory to send the original passport. Pls advice. Thanks.

Kumar.

You are required to send the original passport since it will be stamped and then returned alongwith your original documents. Tier 1, unlike HSMP is a one step process wherein you send all the documents including your passport and it will be stamped with approval.

without passport your application will be rejected and your money wasted :-(
