Hi My 2 year old (currently 2yrs) son and we (my wife and I) were granted ILR 18 months ago. He then went to India 9 months ago and lost his Indian passport bearing ILR. He then returned to UK 3 months ago with a returning resident visa on a new Indian passport. I am wondering if he is eligible to a...

This is just to let you know that i have managed to get the Indian passport for my son in 2 days by meeting the Passport officer and requesting him to process the application quicker(although it was not very easy to do that). I also got the 'Returning resident' visa for my son in a week. I met our l...

both my wife and myself are eligible to apply for citizenship. I am wondering if it's a good idea for us to get the citizenship and apply for my son's passport (British) in India with BHC instead of going though visa route?

I am just wondering if this is another option?

Hi vinny i contacted my airline. They said they tried with no success. I also contacted the british embassy in India, they said i have to make a fresh application paying the fee INR 65000 (around £910) and the process is going to take 3 months. They also said i can't apply for 'returning resident' ...

hi

I am in a similar situation. could you please explain the procedure exactly so that i can bring my 18month old son whose passport is lost in India? Thank you.

Ramakrishna

i am very sorry vinny. I am unable to understand the procedure looking in to the document. could you please explain the procedure?

I am not sure if he (my child) can apply as a returning resident? i could not understand the information in the other case that was given above.

He was born in India

Hi My 18 month old child holds an Indian passport with UK 'Indefinite leave to remain'. We (parents) currently live in the UK on ILR holding Indian passports. We(parents) are now eligible to apply for citizenship. My child went to India 5 months ago with grandparents and stayed there ever since. He ...

I have one more question, if you do not mind. Should i get our citizenship first before i apply for my son's? or can all 3 of us apply for citizenship now? Please clarify. thank you.

Thank you very much for your clarifications. I think i will apply for citizenship straight away. thank you all those who contributed.

Both my wife and I are on 'ILR' for just over a year now and both of us have been in the UK for more than 5 years. We meet the 'standard requirement' for Citizenship. - We have an 18 month old son who was born in India and has Indian passport with 'ILR' stamped along with both of us in the UK a year...

Thank you very much for your kind help

I came to UK in oct 2002 as a student. I had my 1st work permit visa in 2005 valid for 2 years. Towards the end of the expiry of my 1st work permit, my employer then extended my work permit for another 5 years, and my 2nd work permit visa(extension) is valid until 2012.

My work permit visa expires in June 2012 any way (However i can apply for ILR in 5 months time). Looking at what you said, it is more practical and cheaper (fees) for me to get my wife to apply for work permit dependent visa (my dependent) back home in India, when we go home in 5 months time for a h...

Thank your very much for your replies. we are going home(india) any way in 5 months time(holiday). Could she apply for visa as my dependent (Work permit dependent)(entry clearance) in India, and come back to UK, and apply for ILR along with my application immediately?
Thank you.

thank you very much. Can she now switch her visa to 'workpermit dependent'(my dependent) and apply for ILR along with me in 6 months time when i am due?

My wife came to UK on 'Work permit dependent visa (my dependent)' to join me 6 months after the wedding. A year after she had come to UK, she got a job and her employer sponsered her a work permit a...
