MN1 form submitted in NCS today. She has just taken copies of my original documents and attached to form and provided with receipt. Not done any validation in application.

I have NCS appointment today (Thursday).

Planning to pay fee by Check. Also thinking paying by 'Credit card' could be a better idea as it takes less time to process payment.

Does it make sense? if so, I will pay by Credit card.

I have booked an appointment with NCS on thursday this week.

Can someone guide me. Is this the form that I have to use to make a payment for MN1

Thank you. I am planning to keep 'Present Nationality’ as Blank and going to provide explanation in 'Further information' page. As per MN1 Guide if child is stateless then should use S2 or S3, I presume I still has to use MN1 form as I am applying under section 1(3) (forum said the same earlier) P...

Directive - For your quick ref from above topic is - In MN1Form - 'Present Nationality' should be Blank or None or Indian. As per MN1 Guide if child is stateless then should use S2 or S3, I presume I still has to use MN1 form as I am applying under section 1(3). Forum also responded saying they dont...

Child born(UK) just before our ILR and he will not be an Indian until we register his Citizenship in Indian Consulate as per law.
