Thanks CR001. She is in UK for last 10 years as my dependent. She got her ILR in 2012.

Regards,

Thanks torikelly91 for your quick response. We wouldn't mind waiting another few days but she already booked her NCS appo this thursday and cant be cancelled. If she apply on her ILR basis, still need my documents? What if we live separate and I refuse to give my details to her (just making a point)...

Dear members, I need your expertise regarding my wife’s AN application. She got her ILR in 2012 and finally decided to apply for Naturalisation as her Indian passport expired and she doesn’t want to renew it. Also I have applied for my daughter’s British passport last week online and sent document b...

Hi Amitc, if you ticket is non-changeable/non-refundable then if I was you i would have gone for Entry Visa to avoid any risk of losing tickets or holiday you have booked, if you are confident that they will give you OCI before your departure date then you can try waiting but make sure you send the...

Hi ALL, I have submitted my OCI on 21st may 2014 in person at London branch considering it will be processed within 6 weeks of time, I have booked little bit cheaper non-changeable and non-refundable flights with family, unfortunately after sending lots of emails they never gave any professional up...

I am also looking for answer of the same question regarding collecting OCI in person. I have emailed HCI twice without any proper answer, tried to call few times but it seems they unplugged the phone cable so it kept ringing. Is there anyone in the forum had same situation and collected the OCI in p...

Hi OCI confirmed to me that in emergency cases they do allow you to collect in person if there is not enought time to wait for post. If there is more than one application you do need to take with you a letter of consent from all parties you are colecting for. I am in the same boat as you . Aplied i...

Hello members, Just wanted to know from your experience, how long it is taking now a days for oci booklet to deliver from the date it received at HCI London from Delhi.

Dear Members, I have a silly question to ask. I have been to local Post Office to pick up Passport form but they don’t keep any. After coming home I have found one unused passport application form which I have collected a year before during my son’s Passport application. Now please tell me is there ...

As per the rules if you have more than 2 FPN in last 12 months then you have to disclose that. NCS asked my counterpart for my FPN but I didn't carry that, then they gave me a paper to sign that I don't have more than 2 FPN in last 1 yr. So carry your counterpart to prove number of FPN you have and ...
