Hello all, I have received a new UK passport. My OCI has the old British passport info. Trawling through the info on VFS and HCI circulars, I understand that we need to update passport info until the age of 20, and once after 50. The OCI needs to be issues only once after reaching the age of 20. Non...

Hi there - I was wondering if there was a separate thread for combined applications timeline? I couldnt find any combined application timelines on the Timelines thread. Thanks There isn't a combined applications thread, but if you take a look through the monthly threads from around October last yea...

I am not sure if this will be of any consolation. but I see your point. As am one of the first few who applied in the first week of Dec. I applied for both Nat and Passpt through NCS- Cheltenham (Gloucestershire) on the 2/12, on the 4/12 money for Naturalisation was taken, then I did my Biometrics ...

Reading the responses above, I think that if the absences dont exceed 180 days, we don NOT have to show employer letters. But I called the helpline and they confirmed otherwise - saying we need a letter regardless. When I asked, how about the initial contract, detailing my paid annual leave allowanc...

Sorry was confused ... Got the news from a friend that there is a technitical issue going on and UkbA is working to resolve the issue ... I just hope that the website is up and running again so that I could book a date ... Can anybody please help me in booking a date ... Are you referring to the er...

Called UKBA helpline number and lady confirmed that it is required for all of the categories. I am not sure how to provide these as letters...... it is a bit too much and that too all of a sudden. Did you get a chance to ask if the letters are required even if you are within the 180 days limit? Tha...

Hello All, This rule seems to have confused quite a lot of us. Thanks to everyone for sharing their view. However I fail to see the reason why Tier1 candidates should be alarmed. To start with, I would just like to confirm that I am looking at the right document : http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/s...

After the closure of the previous topic (which I certainly am not happy with) - where should we speak about the timeline queries, or get updates on?

Anyone got a clue? Or should we just start below?

Ah, right - I read your post elsewhere. They only took £1500, whereas they should have taken £2000 - isn't that correct! Really, its exasperating me as they are taking so damn long! People have a life and if you hold on to their travel documents, they are literally trapped for that period! And to ad...

Still considering applications for which Biometric were submitted on 13th March. Wonder, how can they still maintain their 75% pledge!

This has to be the most unaccountable department of the government ever!!!!

I had the same problem. My surname on acknowledgement letter was incorrect. I actually did nothing as I knew that phoning or writing a letter will be pointless so I waited for the actual BRP letter. It arrived yesterday and everything was fine there. No issues. I personally think that acknowledge l...

You reckon its futile to mail them on this address?

Cheers mate, thanks. Also, I have found this address - BRPError@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk. Should I mail them in advance to make sure they dont repeat the same mistake on my BRP or biometric letter? A bit confused here, what do ... My application reached on 20th March.. they debited payment on 1st Apri...

Guys, I received my acknowledgement letter today but they have made a typo in my name.

Do I need to worry about this and get it rectified? If so, please suggest, how?

Any email or phone number?

Thanks!

Hi, I am a contractor in UK. I applied for visa on 5th March and my visa expires on 1 april 2012. I have not recieved any info from home office since then. Now, my contracting company says that i cannot work after 1 april if i dont have visa or a letter mentioning that i have applied for VISA. Can ...

HSMP- yes, I thought as much. Also the closure of PSW route might be an added factor. Of course, UKBA does what it likes and takes its own sweet time. However, just trying to second guess and anticipate how long will this delay actually delay the process by. I need to travel in mid June and am tryin...
