In the passport renewal online form there are 2 addresses to be mentioned - Address to be printed on passport and Other address. Does anyone know what we need to fill in the "Other address"? Does it need to be the UK address or we can mention the same Indian address we want to be printed o...

Thanks. Can anyone who has applied for OCI confirm if the cancelled indian passport is required to be submitted along with the OCI application or just the surrender certificate is enough? The question is since we now need to upload documents - whether I need to upload a single document with the surr...

When applying for the OCI if we have surrender certificate plus the surrendered passport is it necessary to submit any additional proof of indian origin such as birth certificate, domicile certificate etc? Or should the surrender certificate/old passport suffice?

Thanks fayend and vishpb

I am planning to submit my application for a surrender certificate. I am planning to submit self address envelopes for the return of the documents. Can someone advise whether we need to submit to envelopes or just 1 i.e. does the surrender certificate and the passport come back in a single envelope ...

Hi ss332, You are right - it does seem that you cannot travel immediately after naturalisation till you have the new passport or other travel document (may be an emergency travel document). Gov.uk website states and I quote "You can’t use your biometric residence permit for travel once you’ve b...

I am in the same situation as FayEng. I recently submitted my passport application via check and send and the guy at the passport counter insisted that a BRP needs to be sent with the application. I did ask him that it is not mentioned anywhere in the guidance or the form to which he replied that no...

I did go through this earlier and this was seemed relevant to the case in terms of what documents are needed 3 Either/ Both parent(s) resident abroad: (i) 1 (of parents or Legal Guardian if both parents are resident abroad), 2, 20, 27 (with spouse name endorsed) (ii) 51 ( signed by the parent or the...

Thanks Sushdmehta. The question indeed is whether the affidavit is needed only if the parent is not physically present at the time of application or is always needed if he is not a "resident" of India and is merely visiting India during the time of application. Can anyone guide me on this?...

Do we need to register the birth of the child in India with some British high commission before we can apply for the CoE to ROA? or just normal birth certificate from the municipal body is enough?

Does any know if form NQ is also required if the child is born in India and we are applying for the childs first passport in India? The father is a naturalised british citizen prior to childs birth. I can only see the need for the form NQ listed in the high commission of India, UK website. This is n...

Can someone guide me whether the "A confirmation of non acquisition of BC " certificate is required to support a childs Indian passport application form in case - The child was born in India - Has never been to the UK - Passport application is being made in India - Father is a naturalised ...

I understand that a Sworn Affidavit for issuance of passport to a minor child residing in India is required if one or both parents are resident abroad. However can someone guide me whether the affidavit is required even if the parent is usually resident abroad but is in India at the time of the chil...

Appreciate the quick response. By this I understand the following - The child can claim Indian citizenship and get Indian passport. - However the child cannot get a british visa because the child is already a british citizen by descent. This is the reason why it needs to be Certificate of entitlemen...

Hi, I have tried to go through several posts but couldn't quite find anything which fits the scenario that I am looking for. For a child born in India I am looking for the quickest and easiest way for the child to travel to the UK. The situation is as follows 1. Father is a naturalised British Citiz...

I had my ILR applied/approved after Oct 2013. While applying for my citizenship in order to satisfy the English languange requirement would merely ticking "My ILR was a approved after Oct 2013" suffice without needing to provide NARIC certificate? or Do I need to provide a certificate from...

If my ILR was after October 2013 then do I need any proof at all for english language requriement while applying for citzenship? or merely ticking the I got my ILR after Oct 2013 is sufficient?

Hi, My wife is in the UK since 2010 and was originally here on a Tier 2 visa. In 2012 she went to India on leave for a 3 weeks and changed her visa to a Tier 1 dependant. She has therefore been in the UK for about 4 years now - 2 on the Tier 2 visa and 2 yrs on the Dependant visa We are now applying...

Thanks Go12.

Is this something that you have seen in any of the documentation from the UKBA?

Hi,
Can anyone comment on this rule will affect extensions for dependants?

I have an ILR and my wife is on Tier 1 dependant visa. She will not qualify for ILR before April 2015.

Does the fact there they are stopping Tier 1 extensions in April 2015 affect extensions for dependants as well?

Thanks.

I dont think there is any box saying "Evidence already sent for English language requirement" on the Set O form. That option only exists for the qualification assessment and not the english language requirement. That box is also present on the Tier 1 Extension form but not on the ILR form ...

Dear Tier1Gen, If you already have an ILR are you sure Set (O) is the right form just for dependants? if its only dependants applying for ILR I would have thought it would be Set (M) or FLR (M) that you need to fill up. As far as I understand Set (O) is applicable where dependants are applying along...

Hi, I am currently contracting through my own limited company. I was on vacation to India and France while working though my limited company. In such a case, I wanted to check who can be in a position to provide a letter of absence? Would a letter from me - as a director of the company suffice? This...
