Hello All,
Thanks for the everyone for their contribution to this forum.
Today I received documents back and ILR is granted for me, wife and 2 kids. application sent on 14th May.
However, there is an issue - Homeoffice did not put ILR stamp in her passport instead stamped it on A4 paper. They call it as Immigration Status Document.
My wife's Indian passport expired in 2009 and at then we got it renewed. During the renewal Indian embassy stamped the extension on 3rd page of passport (Her original passport was valid for 5 years and therefore as per Indian embassy they renew the same passport by putting rubber stamp on it).
I thought of saving £950 my making postal application, but i must say this is the worthless saving I have ever done and will ever do in my life. Long wait, anxiety and on top it this issue. Had i been in person i would have explained them. So please think carefully before you take any decision (postal / in-person).
Now the questions are -
Can someone tell me if it is valid to travel on the IDC to India? Will indian immigration officers will accept it as valid document?
Can I contact homeoffice and get the passport stamped? (but however it will take long time and family may miss summer vacation this year). so if this doc is valid in India and In Uk then my family can travel this summer and once they are back I will pursue it with the home office.
Any suggestions, guidance will be highly appreaciated.
Kind Regards and Thanks
