Hi, We have a laminated marriage certificate from India which we tried to de-laminate and got slightly tampered. To cover that, we have got a non-judicial stamp attesting the duplicate copy from Marriage Registrar office. Though the stamp is in Hindi language. Will this be acceptable for registering...

Hi, I (father of the child) will be applying for my son under section 1(3) (child born in the UK to parents who now at least one parent holds ILR) and have been asked for marriage certificate by the council for NCS service.

Hi guys, I have recently acquired ILR from Tier 2 General route while my wife is still on Tier 2 Dependent. She will be eligible for ILR in April 2018. I have following queries: 1.

Many thanks for clarifying ! Puts my brain at rest.

You are a star.

Firstly I can't thank you enough for your prompt responses and helping me out. :D Sorry No I meant Tier 2 dependant only.

Can the dependants travel outside UK for holidays etc. or they should wait until ILR is granted?

Thanks for your response, that is very helpful.
