Are you a British national?

Hi all, I am going to apply for a spouse visa and I am now gathering all documents together. We've been together for a year so I have Skype Chat logs, loads of photos, train tickets and phone bills with me which I will highlight all call logs. However, as my partner's changed his phone number for 3...

Remember that you need the original certificates of the tb test and english test. TB test certificate is issued on the same day so it should not be a problem. English language certificate is an issue. My wife took IELTS and it took around 16 days to get the original certificate. Usually you have to ...

Hello everyone, My wife finally got her settlement dependant visa today 23 rd Jan - 70 working days. The chennai BHC called her on 60th working day - 7th Jan asking her that they wanted to see my latest employment letter which I sent very urgently directly to the BHC through FedEx. They also emaile...

I did not get anything notarised . I did submit a copy of my photo page of my British passport along with the SU07 form. I had not submitted other pages of my passport but my e tickets to India probably covered for that . ( I used to go to India every 4-6 weeks ) and I had submitted them I still don...

Please note that I had probably submitted more than what was needed. But I have not heard of any rejections due to too much information . So with this concept of local employees doing the screening I would suggest that you give every single document you have.!!!!!

Was this a settlement visa application?

I havent heard anything about our application either. Where did u apply?

Hi, I was hoping somebody could help me. My wife applied for a settlement visa on 12/10/12. The VFS website shows the status as "Your visa application has been forwarded to the British High Commision". Does this mean that the visa is under process? I have emailed VFS and they send a stand...

I was thinking about entry clearance at Heathrow when you enter the UK. Oh, I was not aware of the visa visit thingy ... All very uncertain! The chances of getting approval for a visit visa right after the settlement visa application has been rejected are remote. The OP's husband is a British natio...

The chances of getting approval for a visit visa right after the settlement visa application has been rejected are remote.

Even if they want to check they cannot. The Uk does not have any exit control. So they don't track where you are going to. Even when a British national comes back to the UK there is no formal check of where you have been to. Or are you saying that the British High Commission should contact Indian Im...

My application status changed this evening... I applied at the New Delhi VFS on 4/11/12 and the application was 'under process' at the BHC on the same day. Today is exactly 3 months since I filed, and my status says 'Processed application delivered to Blue Dart on 04/01/2013. My husband and I have ...

My postal application reached VFS london on a Monday and I got the surrender certificate by saturday.( This was in feb)

My colleague did the same last week. His application by post reached the VFS office on tuesday and he got the surrender certificate by friday by post!!!

The usual reasons for forms/ applications being rejected(for a previous single indian citizen with a valid surrender certificate ) are 1. trying to use a cgi birmingham form at hci london and vice versa (when it is clearly mentioned on the hci london website that they cannot accept it!!!) 2. Trying ...

Moreover there is no mention in the HCI london website about consular jurisdiction with regards to OCI.

Just wanted to know what chances I have of getting the OCI stamped or will i need to apply for Visa to travel to India ...
