Hi sushdmehta, actually i made a typo error while writting the post. it should read as belowsushdmehta wrote:Where did this "Agarwal" appear from? Is HO imagining it or does any of your wife's documents mention this?
It is "GUPTA" Dimplesushdmehta wrote:How is her name mentioned in the naturalisation certificate?
*Gupta* Dimple
or
Dimple Gupta
Thanks sushdmehta for the guidance. very tricky situation as everywhere else her name is correctly written. After I get the British passport with surname = "Dimple Gupta" and no given name, do you know whether HMPO will accept another request to correct the name ie Surname=Gupta, Given Name = "Dimple"?sushdmehta wrote:The letter you have received reflects the HMPO's policy on names - that a UK passport will be issued in the name exactly as mentioned in the applicant's ID document (uncancelled Indian passport in this case).
But there is a catch here too (something that is not published in their policy document) - that there is no provision in HMPO IT systems to leave the surname field blank. So, your wife will be issued a UK passport with names fields showing Name - XXX, Surname - Dimple Gupta.
See No Given Names on British Passport
Tough luck, your wife should have paid more attention to how her name is mentioned in her Indian passport, before applying for naturalisation. You / she realized it a bit too late!!
great! great! many thankssushdmehta wrote:Yes,
After your wife is issued UK passport in the strange name format as mentioned above, here's the sequence you will need to follow (to make the whole process least cumbersome):
1. Surrender Indian passport.
2. Change name through deed poll.
3. Apply for new UK passport in new name (given name = Dimple; surname=Gupta), include deed poll.
Hi sushdmehta, I sent a letter explaining my situation that I have used same indian passport for all UK entries and that Indian Embassy wont change the name in my passport, I was advised by HMPO that they need a written proof. and if they get a written proof, then they proceed with my application.sushdmehta wrote:Yes,

This makes no sense whatsoever. Once you qualify for a British Passport as a British citizen, you can apply if and when you please. The UK makes no restrictions at all with regards to foreign citizenship(s).amber19 wrote:
Then I called up HMPO again primarily to ask whether there is an email address to which I need to forward response from hci-london or need to send a letter. Quite surprisingly for me, the lady advised that you cant apply for British Passport while you are already an indian citizen.
Hi amber19, Did they accept HCI London's written proof and issued you the British passport?amber19 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 20, 2016 9:31 pmHi sushdmehta, I sent a letter explaining my situation that I have used same indian passport for all UK entries and that Indian Embassy wont change the name in my passport, I was advised by HMPO that they need a written proof. and if they get a written proof, then they proceed with my application.sushdmehta wrote:Yes,

Then I wrote an email to HCI London and have got their response stating that HCI London wont provide any services on Indian Passport. (I am hoping that email proof can act as written proof?)

She gave me two options that either change the name in Indian Passport or surrender the indian passport and then apply for British passport.
Now this has become kind of mess as you would understand. Can you please guide and help me get out of this mess please??
User 'amber19' has not logged into the forum for more than 2 years. Best would be to start your own topic with your circumstances and questions.kaurM wrote: ↑Tue Apr 10, 2018 4:27 pmHi amber19, Did they accept HCI London's written proof and issued you the British passport?amber19 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 20, 2016 9:31 pmHi sushdmehta, I sent a letter explaining my situation that I have used same indian passport for all UK entries and that Indian Embassy wont change the name in my passport, I was advised by HMPO that they need a written proof. and if they get a written proof, then they proceed with my application.sushdmehta wrote:Yes,

I have the same situation. HMPO asked me to get the written proof from HCI.
