My question do we need to handover our british passport at VFS for new OCI application because we have travel coming up in 4 days of our OCI appointment. Can anyone clarify this part?

Thanks in advance.

Any help on the above query please?

Hello There, i am in the process of applying BC for my wife through naturalisation. She has been holding her UK BRP ILR since Jan 2018. I have got my BC (through naturalisation) around Nov 2017. We got married in 2012 in India and we both were Indian citizenships at that time. Option1: For Proof of ...

Is there any specific reason not to use paper form ? It is easier and all supporting documents are uploaded digitally, meaning you are not without original documents for months. Applying using the paper form, you have to send all original documents to UKVI and they are kept by ukbi until a decision...

You should use the online form and not the paper form. Not need to send originals to UKVI if you apply online. ILR BRP is the free from immigration control document!! Thanks CR001 for your response. Is there any specific reason not to use paper form ? When you say no need to send original passports...

Hello Guys I have searched around the site but couldn't find the relevant answer for my query so posting this as a new one. I'm a british citizen (got through naturalisation application) and my wife (unemployed or in other words housewife) is currently holding BRP (ILR) since Jan 2018 and she is an ...

Hello Friends

Do any one have a sample cover letter that i can refer to? I need this for my mother back in India to apply for visit visa to come and see us in UK. She will be coming here for 1-2 months and i will be sponsoring her entire travel and stay in the UK.

Let me know.

Many Thanks

Hello Experts, I have just received my ILR visa permit and it is valid up to Dec 2024. I heard from other people that normally people get ILR approved or valid for minimum of 10 years but not sure why i did receive it for just 8 years. Is this sounds normal or is there any rule changed recently? Ca...

She can apply for a visit visa at any time. There is no 'rule' that YOU have to hold ILR for x months or days. She will still need to provide evidence of her personal and financial circumstances and ties to home country. You holding ILR does not exempt her from proving she is a 'genuine visitor'. T...

Hello Team, I have get ILR approved say on 31st May 2016, can i able to sponser a visit visa to some one like my mother-in-law to come around 25th of June 2016 to see us in UK? Or do i need to wait for some time/minimum days/months after getting my ILR approved before use that to sponser some one fo...

Hello Guys This is regarding the proof for knowledge of english for ILR applications As per this gov.uk link https://www.gov.uk/english-language/degrees-in-english if we show degree taught in english as a proof for english languauge qualifications do we need to show - an original letter or certifica...

Does your auntie have her children and rest of her family back home? Does your uncle need to be supported by her in the bigger scheme of things? Are their other compelling reasons why she needs to go back? These are the kinds of questions I have asked myself when applying for visas (successfully) f...

As others have already mentioned, it is important to be able to convince the ECO that your auntie will be leaving UK after the sho the short visit. You know (from personal knowledge) that she will leave UK. She knows that from her personal circumstances. But the ECO has only the documents to go by....

Will update here once i receive successful visas.

Five months is not a visit, in fact it's almost tax resident. No-one is twisting your arm but I can say between us, my partner have applied for about 10 visas and none have been refused because we've never for want of a better expression 'tried it on' but pushing it. If any further doubt search thi...

Rajesh, As your uncle is giving your auntie money (deposited into her account), he is essentially sponsoring this visit along with you. So you need to include his financials (Bank statements, pension letter, etc) and a letter to confirm that he is indeed sponsoring this visit and hence transferrred...

Remember the visit visa has a VALIDITY of 6 months, doesn't mean it allows a visit of six months, two or three visits or 2/3 weeks over the validity period would be the way I'd go. Can we reapply but this time for just 6-8 weeks instead of 5 months and do you think that is reasonable for a visit vi...

Sorry One more dumb question - is there a separate application visitor form for tourist (2-3 weeks) and family visits (long visits like 5 months) ? They have combined these categories to standard visitor . I thought so. Thanks again for clarification. Do we really need to submit bank statements fro...

Remember the visit visa has a VALIDITY of 6 months, doesn't mean it allows a visit of six months, two or three visits or 2/3 weeks over the validity period would be the way I'd go. Thanks for your response. Actually the reason to apply the visa is not tourism but to visit my family in the UK. So in...

UKVI casts a suspicious eye over suddenly deposited funds, it's a popular ruse to garner faith in a solid-looking application, only for the funds to be transferred back immediately after a visa is granted. Since there is no pattern of regular deposits, no letter from anyone is going to persude the ...
