What documentation is required for an Indian Entry X Visa application?

Does one need to submit a copy of all the pages of the former Indian passport or would a copy of the surrender certificate be sufficient or are both required?

IMHO - In My Honest Opinion. It is a textspeak abbreviation. If your second child is born in the UK, s/he will be British by birth. The proof that is required is the child's birth certificate naming you as the father and proof of your ILR. That would typically be your BRP. I'm not certain that a mar...

@Jayson65
The tenor of the OP's question suggests that he has not had the time (or perhaps resources) to apply for a British passport and hence is inquiring about traveling on his non-British passport.

2. You would not be fined for any travel on the Indian passport within the three months grace period. The purpose of the grace period is to give you time to get a new passport. You have three years to surrender the Indian passport. Re 1., remember to carry your BRP along with your passport. Although...

Are you confident that the grandfathers of the children (who are the named fathers) would allow you to do a DNA test? If you are confident, have you looked at getting their approval for adopting the children as your own?

My apologies, @ban.s.

I meant "relationship akin to marriage" and summarised it as "sexual relationship". I'll be more careful with my phraseology in the future.

I think my thoughts on this subject are too clear to bear repetition. While I do not consider myself an economic migrant, I agree with Fwd079 that we value British citizenship precisely because we had to work so hard to attain it. We did not take this decision based on feeling, but worked towards a ...

I'm not Pakistani myself and not aware of the nuances of Pakistani law. Therefore, I would be the wrong person to advise you on this matter. Automatic citizenship is just that, citizenship without applying, by the action of law. A child born in the UK to parents with ILR will be a British citizen in...

Given the fact that the Home Office would grant a visa to unmarried partners of people settled in the UK, I would argue that they would construe being a long-term boyfriend/girlfriend as being related. Of course, whether the Home Office would find out about such a relationship is a different questio...

You can keep your documents if you apply through NCS. I'm not sure the Home Office will accept certified copies otherwise.

The two referees should not be in a family or sexual relationship with each other. They can know each other.

@CR001, Can the OP not directly apply for registration of the children after both of them get ILR?

The difference between deprivation and nullity is not that dissimilar to that between divorce and annulment. Deprivation = You had a citizenship, but for some reason, it is brought to an end/cancelled. Nullity = because the citizenship has no legal basis (because it has been issued to a person who i...

If they are not satisfied, the Home Office will write to you and give you one chance to satisfy them that you meet the requirements.

Is there any rule which says that I have to be in UK exactly 5 years or 3 years in past from date of application. Yes. It is a requirement of the British Nationality Act 1981 (Schedule 1, Section 1 (2)(a)) http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1981/61/schedule/1 So, if you were to apply today, you sh...

These are questions for your trip to India. Milan69 has advised you about UK rules.

Please create a new thread in the Other Countries forum, where people who know more about rules in India can help further.

There are stories on this site of the 0300 number not being answered for an hour or so, so 15 minutes is probably not sufficient. To the best of my knowledge, the only time the Home Office does allow the ceremony to be held overseas is when the applicant is the spouse of a British citizen. The local...

Hi, I'm not the best person to advise about this issue, but would I be correct in assuming that the query is for residence in the UK based on the EU citizenship of the Danish student? If such is the case, this thread is best placed in the EEA (UK) forum, rather than Europe immigration. Coming back t...

Self attestation means signing on each sheet. No stamps required. I have been advised to write the date next to the signature as well, but that is not technically a part of the self-attestation.

@CR001

Mea culpa. I should have read more carefully. The perils of speed-reading...

@Milan69, My apologies for being so obtuse. A CoE-RoA vignette is a Certificate of Entitlement (CoE)- Right of Abode (RoA). It is a vignette attached to the current non-British passports of dual UK citizens to signify that they have the right of abode in the UK. One of the conditions for issuing a C...

I commend you for your honesty and confidence. Wish you the very best of British luck and keep us posted about the application and its progress.

@Milan69, I honestly can't say. That was the point of my post. The question is so unprecedented that I'm not aware of whether Long Residence or even private life procedures would apply. They are typically used by people who have lived here long enough to have a vested interest to work up to naturali...

The Home Office has significantly tightened the "Good Character " requirement for citizenship since December 2014. I would suggest a very careful and thorough read of the requirements. I believe that an overstayer would be denied naturalisation for 10 years from the period of overstay. Tha...
