Thank you for your reply, really appreciate that. Very useful information you have provided, i had no idea one have to cancel current visa to travel on ESTA. regarding entering and exiting i contacted CBP earlier and posting their reply to help others as well "Thank you for contacting the U.S....

I am a dual national and happen to have a valid US B1/B2 visa on one passport and now i have a British Passport. i have travelled 3 times previously to US on my other nationality. I travel quite often to US and just wondering if i should apply for ESTA for my next trip. If i do and i receive ESTA w...

it is very confusing that what is the maximum stay on visit visa is it 6 months or 180 days?? While it's true that you are normally permitted to enter the US for up to 6 months on a B1/B2 visa, the actual number of days you are permitted to stay for a given visit is what's recorded on your electron...

Deduction of the passport fee is not an indication of naturalisation application approval. If you applied for both together, and your naturalisation application is refused then you would forfeit the passport application fee. Both AN and passport application fee are taken upfront, but the passport ap...

Thanks guys. The business meetings would could be attending conferences or meeting prospective new Clients or meeting existing Clients for providing support. The duration of these visits are expected to be short 3-4 days maximum. It is the frequency which would be quite high. I would have travel at...

Yes, reading the next response from the OP, I'd say a lot would depend on the context and what is meant by business development - business visit or employment? I've used a schengen visa for attending meetings and participating in knowledge sharing workshops as part of global programmes of work in th...

A visa for a family member of eu citizen is also issued as a schengen visa type C. It depends how the border officer interpret the remarks sections. Crimbo111 has both in the remark section which is not the normal case. Yes, agree it would depend on the interpretation of the remarks. In case it hel...

Hi All, I am an Indian passport holder having a valid UK visa till April 2019. I have looked online, but I was not able to find any documentation regarding this, so hence my query here. Is it possible for me to get a long-term Schengen visa, say for 1-2 years? I would need to travel frequently with...

I will keep this short (and somewhat snappy) I have multiple entry Schengen Tourist Visa from Italian Consulate, valid until 28/10 (acquired through exercising spouse of British national). I have a conference to go to in Germany on the 2nd week of Oct; I went to German Consulate to get the Business...

I'm just a little confused about the bit in bold. If I change the appointment date more than three days before the date of the examination, I'll be charged another £50? I must cancel it exactly three days prior? I believe that was a mistake in quoting what's on the website. You should click on the ...

If I book this test today, and then need to change the date somewhere down the line, how many times can this be done, and at what cost? You can, with no additional cost so long as you reschedule before 7 days of the scheduled test date. I cancelled mine and re-booked a new test at a test centre clo...

Not unless you're a citizen of a VWP country. See https://www.cbp.gov/travel/internationa ... tem-travel

Personally I don't see how that answer you refer to on the NCS client care record can really affect your application. The NCS advisor & whoever they spoke to over the phone, appear to have taken the stance that anyone who entered the UK to claim asylum would have entered illegally, without the r...

Should I be worried about these mistakes, or is this a non-issue? Do these documents actually get sent to the Home Office with my application, or are they exclusively for me and NCS to keep a record? I am guessing the wrong D.O.B is not an issue since they see my passport and correct D.O.B on appli...

I am a German national currently living in the UK but parent but my mother lives in Spain and is a Spanish national. I am currently waiting for my spanish passport to be processed. Around 4 years ago I travelled to the USA on a B2 visa. While I was there I was caught drinking on the street and was ...

b) and c) Does it mean you select your interview date during application? Its not really something you need to select, it's one of the steps that takes place on date you submit your biometrics at the embassy (You need to make an appointment for this over the phone at the same time you pay the appli...

Thanks. Another question. ( I would make a new thread, but told not to by the moderator). I am also submitting a passport application together with the naturalisation application, via the Nationality Checking Service. For section 4 of the passport application form, "Parents' details", I h...

I had couple of years in between 2007-2009 which were without visa. I'd suggest that you a search the embassy website, to see whether this is likely to pose you a problem before you apply. I can't remember all the questions, but there is a section with a long list of questions related to security a...

Is there anything in particular that i should have prepared in advanced? e.g. my financial statement, bank statement, cover letter, employer letter or my friend's financial statement etc ? The required documents are listed here: https://uk.usembassy.gov/visas/tourism-visitor/required-documents/ You...

I checked my passport issue date again, and actually it was issued in 2008, not 2006, so only 8 years ago. Does this affect anything at all, or can I still safely ignore the lost passport prior to this one? Another question. How do you guys attach the passport photo? Is pritt stick sufficient, or d...

I verified my employment record as a PhD student with both universities. Indeed, I have a record stating that I did ad-hoc work as a demonstrator. However my official occupation is a PhD student. I did not pay any Income tax, but I paid national insurance contributions. My last job (at my present u...

I was thinking about contacting them but latter states that i should wait for the letter. I have done some digging and in a lot of cases they just book a ceremony without the invitation letter. I guess response varies from council to council but i think i should just give them a call. Correct me if...

if delivery is by DX; a signature will be required. Not sure though how HMPO determined which means to use to deliver the passport Mine was delivered by DXSexure, dropped through my letterbox, so a signature isn't necessarily required. It depends on how secure they believe your residence letterbox ...

I am filling the ILR SET (O) form and have come across a query. I entered UK on May 9, 2010 on Tier 2 (ICT). I applied and received my Tier 1 (General) visa on October 5, 2011. Now I am applying for ILR in September 2016. The form asks the date of entry in UK and then asks to list down the absences...

Generally speaking if you already have a visit visa you would be permitted to use it to transit through the UK, I've done this in the past. However whether you would be granted a long length visit visa would really depend on your previous UK immigration and travel history. If this is the first time ...
