When asked, I was informed that it is possible to apply for Passport Surrender & Renunciation on the same day. To do this, one can bypass the limitation of booking 1 appointment with 1 passport, by using 2 passports - say morning appointment with Indian passport and evening appointment with UK p...

Many Thanks for the prompt response !! I applied for OCI on behalf of my 2 kids today at VFS Goswell, thanks to appointment slots made available yesterday. My experience was similar. Some additional points: There is a cycle stand right opposite , if commuting via bike The manager is onsite to handle...
Many Thanks for sharing your experience in such detail - very helpful. I replicated what you did for minor OCI document upload. 'Previous Indian Passport' category is perhaps now called 'Indian Origin Proof'. For address proof, I uploaded council tax + parents driving license in 1 PDF < 1MB, just to...
The passport surrender certificates I received for my 2 kids are in very poor condition - crumpled, almost torn in some areas and with dirt / ink marks indicating mishandling before the certificate was put into an envelope. Is this the norm and expected delivery quality? In any case, I had written ...

Sorry for somewhat seemingly silly questions regarding surrendering indian passport of my 2 kids / minors. However, I have learnt that kids and govt depts are alike with the right to demand anything anytime anywhere: Que 1: I have 1 set of photocopy, attested for by father and mother of relevant or...

So 2 emails were sent in response - first with PDF and then Excel as latter is sometime blocked on account of security concerns (Macros). That is why missing attachments update from caseworker is hard to comprehend.
Hi All, My wife and I applied for ILR on 22 Jul 2021 - 10yr route. My wife received her ILR on Nov 09 2021 but I received an email to clarify the Absences Excel file. The online ILR form accepted only 30 entries. So those 30 entries were highlighted in Excel in a different colour from remaining ones...

Many Thanks CR001, very helpful. I took a stab at the application and you are right, its straightforward. Before declaration, I see a document list with checkbox and instruction to provide as many as possible (mainly passport, BRP, proof of relationship with spouse & kids). There is no distincti...
Dear Experts, My wife and I came to UK more than 10 years ago and have a couple of kids born here. Our Tier 2 long-term staff and dependant visas are expiring next Friday.

To share my experience, the solicitor filed a review (within 14 days of receiving BRP) and Home Office took almost 3 weeks to respond. They will rectify the duration of visa and requested BRP back in order to issue the new ones.
Agreed, not everyone doing a job under SOC list earns 153k+
The proposed measures mention 'Restriction' of automatic rights to work and not 'Barring' them. It may not be a big issue after all.
I have received a 1 year extension on my T2 ICT visa while we expected a 3 year extension from Home Office. My entry clearance application was originally submitted on 5 Apr 2011 and a T2 ICT established staff visa was granted form 02 Jul 2011. The solicitor believes that case worked has considered t...
Thanks a million moonlight55, CR001 for your responses. The error is in the length of stay.
Good to know that priority should be correction. I will also update the response from business help desk, once received.
You appear relatively well-read on the subject. My understanding, from friends in other attractive English speaking global cities (NYC, Dubai, Singapore, HK), is that there wives can work after completing minimal paper work. I believe London competes with these cities rather than regional hubs and s...
Dear Members, Can you please share your experiences with BRP corrections i.e. how much time it takes and if we can delay it with consent from Home office? My ICT was renewed last week and BRP needs to be rectified. However, I need to apply for Schengen visa and travel so that the BRP may prefrrably ...
