That's completely wrong on their (parents) part. They cannot hold your documents and threaten you. As advised by many, contact the police, I am sure they will sort this out quickly.

Hello Suraj, Initially, I thought the same way, but there is "enter here" button. You need reduce the size of the window - Press Ctrl and roll the mouse roller down side, you can reduce the window screen and you can see the "enter here" button. Let me know if it works. Regards......

All, It seems that the HCI is not sending any acknowledgements by email or by post. I think we have to check it online regularly. I was just checking my family application and could see all our applications have been acknowledged and the status is showing as "ON" and "UNDER PROCESS&qu...

All, I have applied for my OCI (Postal) family application on Mar 27, reached on March 28, its nearly 8 weeks now, I haven't received any acknowledgement. Is it normal for this much delay.

For your 3rd question, as suggested by yak2013, OCI (Overseas citizen of India) is the best option as you do not need visa each time you go to India. The other advantage is there is no time restriction to live in India with OCI. You can stay there as long as you wish. This is almost like dual citize...

Yes, spouse's name can be included in her passport with a marriage certificate and yes if you do not have any address proof, HCI will use the same address which is already in there.

Hello Suchi Normally, HCI in london wants both parents original passports to be seen while applying for a child's passport. As your husband's visa is in under process, carry a photocopy of his passport, UKBA original acknowledgement letter to the HCI london and try applying for your child's passport...

You need to provide your Marriage Certificate as evidence to include your surname in your wife's passport. To change her Indian address to your Indian address on her passport, you need to provide any official bill (BSNL telephone bill, tax invoice/letter, any government correspondence letter on her ...

Hello rockwell31 You can renew both together by Feb 2013. Indian passport renewals are normally allowed upto 1 year before & after expiry.

Hello Majumdar Here is the normal list of documents. Also, check a sticky on this Forum for more exhaustive list.

Yes "PennylessIndia's" suggestion is the right one. Follow it and also don't ever ever mention that you are calling your MIL for child care, they are definitely going to refuse the visa. I have got loads of examples. One more suggestion - Don't apply for long term visas until she has visit...

Hello Majumdar Do not ever mention that your parents will be "taking care" of your wife but you can say "your parents want to be with your wife" during her final stages of pregnancy and child birth. Both looks same, but the British High Commission views the phrase "taking ca...
