Thanks !

No, just her passport. Other members have reported doing the same. So I will supply new (surname changed passport), old (maiden name) passport and marriage certificate to NCS. Hope it will be good enough. Is it possible to change her surname once she receive her British passport? Do I need to chang...

For BC, the name must match her foreign passport.

Thanks for reply. But it means I need to change the surname in her ILR BRP card too. It must be quite expensive I think.

Hello All, I have recently got my British citizenship and now applying for my Wife's naturalisation. She came as a Tier 2 (general) dependent on Indian passport in Feb 2012.

Hello,

Thanks for the reply.

Regards

Thank you very much for the reply. I checked with my wife's family member and all of them (grand parents) moved to India by December 1947. Of course they can't remember the exact date neither have any sort of proof for that. But they have (grand parents) ration card, aadhar card etc. So I should put...

Hi, Me and my wife would get british passport next year and then we apply for OCI. I have one query, my wife's grand parents (both mother and father side) moved to India during partition and settled in India. There is a question in OCI application form that if any of grand parents were a citizen of ...

I had used NCS for the application and therefore all the original documents were with me. Below are the details: Eligibility criteria: sect...

Thanks a lot !

It means SET (F) is the most logical solution if I need to travel before MN1 arrives?

Thank you CR001 !

One more question. Is it possible that my wife and baby travel to India on their Indian passports and when my baby's MN1 certificate arrives, I go to India and apply for his British passport in India and then come back to UK? I am not sure how easy/quick it will be from India?

Thanks !

Which form I should use for the baby's ILR application? If I use SET (O) then its not much I can fill w.r.t the baby. Also most of the time it talks about the main applicant or partner.
