ILR - Dependant's passport held with Indian Embassy

[ch_pavan]

Hi

Can someone please help me with below queries:

1. I am applying for my wife and son's ILR (set o) this week by post (I already got my ILR couple of weeks ago). My son's passport is still with the Indian embassy for renewal. I afraid I will be able to receive it back before this saturday! if I don't receive then I am thinking of selecting the option reason's beyond my control and then write in it. Once, I receive it then post it separately. Is this possible? has anyone had similar situation before? Is there anything else I can do?

2. Their current Tier 1 dependant visas will expire on 14th Feb. So, if I post it on 13th Feb it should be fine. isn't it? My understanding is its the date application is posted and not the date that is received by UKVI. am I correct?

Thanks for your responses in advance.

Regards
Pavan

It will be worth chasing Indian consulate and requesting them to issue the new passport on urgent basis. I had the same issue with my daughter's passport when I was applying for my extension. I chased the Indian consulate every alternate days and they are able to priotise it. My daughter was issued the passport very quickly. Tell them you have to apply for their ILR. Tell them that you have to post your application on 10th Feb rather than the actual date. I am sure they will work it out and issue the passport. It is based on my own personal experience. Good luck.

Thanks f317633. Yeah...I am trying that with a hope to get it back by this Friday. But, in worst case I want to post the applicaiton with a note, as delaying the application can lead to other issues from UKBA.

Anyone has experience of sending passport in separate post?

To close this thread...I walked into Indian Embassy on Wednesday (they told me no appoinment required for wednesdays) and explained them the urgency. They've asked me to come and collect the passport next day. So, I went and picked up new passport on thursday and posted to UKBA next day.

Nothing for my dependants. Didn't touch any of these for them. But, when I applied a month before I've selected 12L.
