Hi I recently lost my British passport while I was travelling in India. I have since obtained an Emergency Passport from the British High Commission in Delhi, booked an appointment for a replacement passport under fast track service (1 week) in London. I am in London for the appointment and was wond...
Hi My wife recently applied for her passport and received a text saying that the passport will be delivered to her in the next few working days. This was literally in the last 20 mins so nothing yet about DX. We actually provided the address of our rented property as it is our permanent address and ...
Hi My wife recently applied for her first British passport and currently waiting to receive it. I have a couple queries in relation to this: 1. She applied via Post Office Check & Send. I see some of the members have posted the processing timelines with dates/times of when the application was re...

CR001, secret.simon Sorry been away on business. Thanks for the discussion, and the suggestions. I am now looking into the Surinder Singh route and fingers crossed! secret.simon - yes I do have children old enough to go to school, and as you pointed out it is one of the things that I need to plan ca...
Thanks "noajthan".
I think you are right about the Surinder Singh route being the only option that has some chance of success. I will start looking into that
As a UK/Eire person born and bred, not sure culturally I understand the parent thing, normally here we can't wait to get away from our parents, right or wrong that's the norm here. Usually our parents are fine and keen to see us fly the nest and lead independent lives, not really sure why uk.plc sh...
Firstly I want to clarify that I am not challenging immigration policies as a whole - just the laws and policies around Adult Dependant Relatives (and more specifically parents). At the end of the day you made a choice to migrate to the UK and chose to follow the laws of this country. The laws of th...
Hi CR001 I appreciate why you say that and to be honest I did at one point also think similar. But on the other hand I am a highly skilled migrant (as are many others in this country) and was approached and offered a job by a British company clearly because they felt it would benefit them and ultima...
Thanks for your replies guys. I cannot afford to spend £2140 (or more if I use a solicitor) for a visa application that has such small chance of success. This government certainly knows how to make life miserable for immigrants!

Hello I plan to submit my AN1 form tomorrow and had a query about self-employed vs PAYE. I understand that I don't need to provide any additional documents if I am on PAYE, but in my case I am both PAYE and self-employed at the same time. I have been registered as Self-employed around 2 months ago b...
Hi Amber
thanks for your response. The information in those pages doesn't actually state if the passport needs to be valid or otherwise. Is your answer based on prior experience?
thanks

hello wondering if anyone else had a similar situation. I am applying for my son's registration as British citizen and only just noticed his current Indian passport has expired 2 months ago. Does he need to have a valid passport inorder to apply for British citizenship? Logic says 'not needed', but ...
