Hi Guys, I had applied for Naturalisation which has been approved and I have the ceremony on June 13th. But unfortunately I have travel to India immediately after ceremony and I can't wait for the British passport to arrive. I can't return to the UK for a few months after that. I have been told that...

Hi pkul7de, I read your long post and I am really happy you got there. I am very curious to know how you got your OCI in the end. "The story after that is still interesting on how I finally got OCIs in my hand, since I had no plan to go to UK in foreseeable future, " Please can you let me ...

Please can somebody answer my query below?

I wanted to know if this same procedure is applicable if the child was born in the UK but currently residing in India? Or is it applicable only to children born in India to British parents.

Thanks a lot.

Hi Guys, I am pleased to know there is an option to get exit visa and OCI from India after getting British passport for a child. I wanted to know if this same procedure is applicable if the child was born in the UK but currently residing in India? Or is it applicable only to children born in India t...

Thanks CR001. "She would have to apply from scratch again" Do you mean she has to apply for ILR (or is it ILE?) again from India? Or a settlement visa? If she is successful with a returning resident visa, will she have her ILR back? Its mainly due to our child (health issues) that she has ...

Hi, I have an ILR and I am currently in the UK. My wife also has ILR and she is in India with our son. I wanted to know how long it is taking currently for granting settlement visa for a child from Bangalore? Will it be faster if I apply from a different city in India? Is there a priority service av...

Hi CR001,

Is there any other quicker alternative for me to bring my son to the UK?

Going through the settlement visa will take atleast 6 months from now (3 more months for maintenance and 3 months for processing the visa).

Thanks

No he was born BEFORE we got ILR.

Thanks.

Thanks CR001.

No he was born in the UK.

Will it not help the case if I showed them previous years' earnings and other evidence?

Thanks.

Hi Guys, Hope you are all fine. I have a question on maintenance for a child settlement visa application. I am in the UK since March 2016 and I am a Permanent resident and working as an IT contractor (since March 2016). I was living in India for 10 months from May 2015 to end of February 2016. So ob...

Thanks a lot vinny.

secret.simon,
No worries. Really kind of you. Thanks a lot for clarifying.

Thanks a lot for that secret.simon. You said: I forgot to mention, if the mother loses ILR status, likely so would the child. So, get them to the UK and start the paper work as soon as possible. Currently my son is eligible for a British citizenship through MN1. If the mother loses ILR, will he no l...

Thanks secret.simon for responding :). Its becoming a lot clearer now that my son cannot arrive with a visitor visa. CR001, My wife is on ILR (We both got ILR at the same time). I said it will expire in March 2017 only because she has been living in India since March 2015. Obviously if she comes and...

Hi CR001, I apologise for creating a new topic with the same query. Thanks a lot for clarifying. But I do have one doubt. I found this page on - https://www.gov.uk/join-family-in-uk/overview. After reading the underlined sentence below I am not clear if he definitely needs a "child settlement v...

Hi Guys, I am in the UK having ILR. My wife also has ILR which would expire in March 2017. Both my wife and son are in India now. My son was born in the UK (before we got ILR) and he has an Indian passport and no visa to enter the UK. I want my wife and son to come to the UK around July this year. I...

Hi H_manatee I received a notification that you have sent a PM to me. Thanks very much for that. But unfortunately when I logged in to read it, I was told that I am not authorised to view it!!! ""Information You are not authorised to read private messages."" Can you please send t...

Hi H_manatee Hope you are fine. I am in a similar situation to yours. I and my wife have ILR since April 2013 and we have a son who was born in Dec 2012. We are all in India now due to certain family reasons and we want to apply for our son's British citizenship and passport and then OCI. I am curre...

Hi smkuk, I am in the situation as you. Please let me know how you got on with the application. I have a few queries I need to get answers for before I send my son's MN1 application. 1. How did you receive the certificate and where? In India or in the UK? 2. Did you have to send the original passpor...

Hi smkuk I am in exactly the same situation as you! I and my wife are having ILR and are in India currently and our son has an Indian passport and is with us in India. I want to apply for our son's registration using MN1 from India. But I am not sure how to do it. How do you manage get the referees'...

Hi fwd079 Many thanks for your reply. That answers most of my questions but I am not sure if getting a British passport and OCI will take much longer time compared to registering the child as a British citizen and applying for CoE. I need another clarification. What if both parents are in India when...

Hi guys, Hope you are all fine. I have some doubts on acquiring Right of Abode/CoE for our son. I and my wife both have ILR since April 2013. Our son was born in December 2012 in Cambridge, UK. Because he was born before we both got ILR, I understand that he is not automatically British. So I have h...

Hi Friends, I submitted my son's passport application at HCI, London on 05-02-2015. My son was over a year old when I made this application and he was over a year old when I applied for his Birth registration. (I have received his Birth registration successfully). The submission of passport applicat...
