It is always good to have the original documents with you as lemony said. These VFS are just a courier forwarder and they don't take any responsibility, but they behave as if they are the Council General of India. They don't process family application and we end up paying a huge courier charges for ...

I had three passports. My entry visa to UK was in second passport , so the officer in the NCS office took photocopies of my second passport and thrid passport and gave back all the originals except the LIUK pass sheet.

While returning can I use my British passport (I will not have any visa status to get back to UK) Tha...
