Dear All, I was granted British citizenship and received passport in June 2013. A new situation at work meant that I had to migrate to Dubai in July 2013. I have been back to UK a couple of times since. During my last visit, I had some questions by the immigration officer at the airport about my emp...

Hi All,

I have just been naturalised and received my British Passport. An improvement in work situation has led me to emigrate to UAE next week.

This being the case, can I surrender my Indian passport in UAE and apply for OCI there? I'll be travelling using my British Passport.

Thanks for the help.

To be specific, I submitted three months bank statements and six months pay slip.

Feel free to look at my previous post which has the list of documents I submitted.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

In my case, I was not asked for twelve months bank statement.

Krishna.

Nope, she got ILR. (This was possible because I was on the old style workpermit)

Hi,

No, I did not apply separately for my wife.

She was included in my SET(O) application as a dependant. She joined me in the UK recently. (She was on a workpermit dependant visa)

Selva,

Thanks. I have now applied and got my ILR sanctioned too. Please see the thread here:

I did not submit any P60 at all. (I only had photocopies attested by my employer for the last four years. So, took a chance by not submitting it) But, as mentioned before, I submitted a letter from my employer confirming the End of year earnings for 2011-12. The letter from the employer just stated ...

Hello All, Thanks to everyone who helped me patiently with all my queries regarding my ILR application. I had my ILR appointment with one dependant at the Sheffield PEO on16th April 2012, and got the ILR application approved - without much hassle. My background is that I am an old style work permit ...

Thanks Dimsav.

Are photocopies of P60 with attestation from the HR (Has the company stamp and signature) enough? Or, do I really have to go down the route of getting the letter from HMRC?

Hello All, Here is the cover letter I have written, explaining the reason for including my wife in the ILR application. Dear Sir/Madam, Sub: Documentation requested in Section 10(A) - Reg I, xxxx, am the main applicant in the attached SET (O) application. I have included my wife, yyyy, as a dependan...

Hi Dimsav, Thanks again. I have taken print outs of the relevant sections from the rules including 196D & 128-134 (which apply for me). Hoping that it all turns out OK. Will this do? Is there anything else I could take or provide? Are photocopies of P60 with attestation from the HR (Has the comp...

Hi dimsav, Thanks for the response. i did get my WP transferred to the new company, and I have got the WP letter from the home office. I am taking those documents with me. I also have a letter from my previous employer confirming that. So, that's covered (I guess?). Can I ask how you responded when ...

Thanks Selva. Appreciate the help.

Can any of the moderators / Gurus / Senior pro's have a look through it for me too please? It will be of great help.

Thanks.

Hello All, To give a little bit of background about myself, I have been on work permit (Old style) from January 2007. I moved to a new company in July 2007 (Still on old style WP). I got married in December 2011. My wife got her WP dependant visa issued in January 2012 and she has come to the UK (fo...

Hi Greenie, Thanks for your advice so far. Having taken your advice in to consideration, I have allowed enough time to get some more documents for my wife's address proof and have booked my appointment for ILR on April 16th. Here are the list of documents I intend to carry with me. Can you kindly ad...

Hi, Considering you are on old style workpermit (which is what I am on too), I was told by Greenie (Guru) the following: "The two year requirement is for applications for ILR by PBS dependents under para 319E, and for applications for ILR for spouses of settled persons under para 287. - if you ...

Hi guys, Thanks for your help so far. As discussed before, I am an old work permit holder (Non-PBS) and my wife is currently on a WP Dependant visa. She will enter the country for the first time in end of march and we intend to apply for ILR - SET(O) on April 5th. Based on the documents requested in...

Hi Guys, Thanks to your feedback. I spoke to UKBA enquiries team. They confirmed that my wife can apply as an ILR dependant with me. Good thing was the guy at the other end of the phone gave his reference id - which he has recommended me to use in a Cover letter explaining the situation, should the ...

Hi Greenie, Original plan was to apply on 30/03, but after your recommendations I am changing my travel plans. So, reading between the lines in your e-mail you are also saying that I do not have to rush through to get the SET(O) with a dependant done before April 6th, as this was not part of the con...

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll look in to the options you have suggested. We intend to comeback on 30th March. Plan to apply by 5th April, as it is still not clear if there are going to be any changes from April 6th for dependants settling in UK (I remember there was a consultation about this last...

If you have a spouse or civil partner listed in section 2 of this application form who is applying at the same time as you, please provide documentary evidence of cohabitation since you were last granted leave (up to a maximum of two years). Evidence provided should cover the whole period and be in...

Guys, Really appreciate the feedback. I'll look in to this in more detail. Would address proof and bank statements for my wife still be required? Also, I was concerned about the changes from April 6th and hence why I was trying to get it done before that date. But, it is clear now that this does not...

Unfortunately, all the advice I received was over the phone and not via e-mail.

I certainly agree with you after reading through the complete section. If I go ahead with this then would address proof and bank statements for my wife still be required or not? I appreciate this is a forum and as such you may not recommend a specific solicitor or company to use, but is there any ti...
