Hello I am applying for family visa extension of my wife. Initially she applied visa from India which was granted. We have UK NARIC documents from our first application.

Hi,

I submitted documents and photos of my wife to Sheffield office for family settlement Visa. She has applied from India.

I have received all documents back including her photos. Is it normal that they send photos back? I thought they might be keeping photos with them?

Please advise.

Hi,

Please can anyone advise on this?


Thanks

Hi, I am British Citizen. I am applying for my wife’s settlement Visa from India. She is coming to UK first time. I can see from VFS website that there is priority service. However I can only see that I need to make a payment for priority application. I do not see anywhere in the application mention...

I don’t need duplicate certificate as I haven’t registered Marriage yet. I am married as per Hindu rituals and now need to apply for marriage certificate to bring my wife here.

I am Hindu and British. I live in the UK. I recently married to Indian girl in India. How do I get a marriage certificate?

Do I need to follow Hindu Marriage Act to get marriage certificate or follow process of Special Marriage Act in India?

Please advise urgently.

hmm! so this option is also not viable. How disappointing situation is!

How can that be wrong? Most of people have worked in this way..they do not have any immigration or tax issue!

Well, I heard most of the Indian software companies send people on daily allowance to the UK while they are paid salary in India ?

Hi Guys, Another thought - main reason to live in India for a year is to show residence in other words payslips and p60.. What if I work for Indian IT company which pays me Indian salary and puts me at client side at UK. They can pay me daily allowance in the UK. Do you thinks this may be good optio...

Hi haiksuresh
If either husband or wife has OCI/PIO status then that couple is considered as OCI for adoption purpose. Hence they get very low priority in adoption and have to follow inter country procedure.

Thanks Simon. Note that adoption a child from Indian with OCI/PIO is nightmare. First of all total cost is GBP20,000 for inter country adoption. Secondly waiting period is 2-3 years! While adoption with Indians residing in India is much easier, it cost only 40,000 Rs which is just GBP 400!!! waiting...

Thanks Ginza. It looks most sensible approach with current situation. If I am admitted, after a intial year gap and then I leave UK that gives me total three years which should be sufficient. I believe when I come back finally and if I have job offer then they should consider me as I am returning to...

Thanks everyone for your response. Although taking BC is mouth watering, I think I will leave it for now! I will move to India and do adoption. Will try to apply for ILE later providing adoption as reason, If successful will return back to UK.

Such is the life!

Thanks Guys. Does anyone know if Indian authority knows change in Citizenship, if you don't surrender passport?

Also if required I can visit UK every two months for short visits, would that be still issue to maintain ILR?

No, I don't have particular child in mind.

Hi All, I am in problem in my life. I have about to receive British Citizenship. Only ceremony is remaining. However we have now decided to adopt a child from India. It is very difficult ,time consuming and expensive to adopt a child from India with British passport (OIC/PIO). Hence there is dilemma...
