Hi, 2 further questions on the same topic: Question 1: Documents required for fresh OCU applicants (on the basis of own Indian origin) states: Link: https://www.vfsglobal.com/india/uk/OCI.html Fresh OCI (on the basis of applicant’s own Indian Origin) Current Passport copy Indian Origin Proof Please ...

Ok, figured the answer. It does require to input details of the British passport. Because in Part B, there is a query asking for the renounced Indian passport number.

So all good. Thanks for reading.

Hello, When filling up the OCI application form, in the first page of the online application form (https://ociservices.gov.in/submitAppDetails) it has a section as "Passport Details". Which passport details should be filled in this section? Current valid British passport or Cancelled India...

There are no other forms. It's part 1 and 2

Thanks for the reassurance.

Thanks Zimba. That is correct. Part 1 is by the applicant (my wife). Part 2 is me (the joint applicant in the utility bill). Part 3 is invalid as no one else is sponsoring her. She is employed and has finances to show on her own although that is not a requirement for ILR. That Part 2 of the document...

Bumping this thread up: At the last stage of booking the ILR application, the document requirements state the below two documents which are very similar: * Declaration signed by <Name of the partner whose name is on the utility bill> to confirm consent for the HO to request verification checks * Con...

I understand the principle. There is a difference in the HO asking for 3 to 6 sources vs the applicant providing it to make a strong application. Anybody on the below: Other documents: * B1 Language Certificate * Declaration signed by <Me> to confirm consent for the HO to request verification checks...

Citizenship FAQs

Thanks Secret Simon.

319E(d) that you have highlighted does not state, that you require subsistence evidence from 3 to 6 sources. Neither does it state the period of 2 or 3 years. In my original post, I did state, I am going to provide EDF (electricity) bills for the last 3 years. I can also organise 5 years from counci...

Correct, provided she meets the requirements to apply based on 3 years residence.

Can you please elaborate on what these requirements are? and also provide a doc reference, please?

You are required, as the immigration rules state,to prove a subsisting relationship. This is evidence of cohabitation.

Can you provide a document reference to this specific immigration rule, please? I am unable to find a reference to this.

You also need 2 years evidence of cohabitation in both names from 3 to 6 sources, spread evenly for every 3 to 4 months. CR001 - With due respect, can you provide a reference to a document with this requirement? I am unable to find this despite searching through the ILR guideline document and the P...

Employers generally don't pay for ILR. However, that doesn't mean it's not worth trying - My employer paid for the Super Priority application. You'll need to put a good business case to justify your worth to the company. I basically told my employer that I couldn't legally work for them after my cu...

I picked an appointment in Glasgow for the £100 fee as I could wait for a week for a good spot. In fact I opted for a 6PM appointment, but got there for 5 PM and was immediately seen as they were waiting for me. I had uploaded all my documents before hand, so it was only photograph and biometrics. W...

Ok. So you already have: 1. A copy of the passport 2. Police report and you now need to acquire a Notarised affidavit which you will submit to the Indian embassy to get a 'renunciation declaration' ? So you are looking for a template to prepare yourself so you can save £100? The notary will anyway c...
