u cannot enter india within a gap of 2 months? I take it that you are saying that once you have come back from India on the tourist visa you cannot go back on the same visa within 2 months? correct? Yes, that's right. The website ( hci London) say that its not allowed, but if u do need to go again ...

But, I think you can always apply for PIO instead of OCI. Or, just get tourist visa when you go to india. In next one year, probably you will also get citizenship, and then you can apply for OCI for all the family..

See: http://hcilondon.in/oci.php and search for "Eligibility for minor applicants: one of the parents should be eligible for OCI"

Hi senthil,

I have a query. When Home Office extends the visa under tier-1 non-JR category, do they extend it for 3 yrs, or for more than 3 yrs such that the person can apply for ILR ? I mean, my visa date was from 30th Jan'2007 to 30th Jan'2009. I entered UK on 18th Feb'2007. So, now, when they extend the visa...

JR = Judicial Review

initial hsmp application before 13-dec-2006 comes under JR category.

initial hsmp application after 13-dec-2006 comes under non-JR category.

Hi,

You should take the xray film and report. I think that is all which is required for people holding > 6month visa. When I had entered UK without xray, it took 3.5 hrs just to get the xray done at the airport. So, bettertake it with you.

this is true if u want to apply for work permit. but if u are already an hsmp holder, then u get equal preference to euro/british candidates.

Hi !

I am planning to go ahead and come to UK for 3-4 weeks. I am trying to get long leave from my office, so that in case nothing materialises, then I can join back my Indian job. Lets see what my manager says..

try to look at job sites such as cwjobs.co.uk and see if there are any jobs matching your profile are posted on jobsites such as cwjobs.co.uk If you look carefully, you will find that same jobs are posted everyday. So, it would be better to look for jobs that were posted in last 1-2 days. It will gi...

but, i am very much afraid.. it costs a lot of money staying there in london (atleast 30gbp per day).. also, without any job at hand, going to uk looks very frightening to me..

Hi, I am not sure, but if your job exp is less than 2 yrs, then you will have only 1 yr ITR and that should be okay.. Normally, the Visa people want to see your earning and capacity and savings so that you are not on public funds in UK.. Stop worrying, complete your papers, and go to VFS office and ...

no, the message gets updated when they dispatch it (and before you receive it) to something like - "passport returned to applicant. case closed", but i don't remember exactly.. this is probably the kind of message when the visa is successful.
