Hello folks,
Applied 2nd Feb'09 to NS got AOR 16th Feb. Need to submit docs to London.
1. Police Certifcates: I am based in Dubai but am Indian. I already have the Police clearance certificates for self/spouse for Dubai but the Indian consulate could take upto 40 days to arrange the same. Can I in the interim send all requested docs and then have the police clearance from India added at a later date?
2. IELTS Test report: An original has been requested but I have only one original test report form. I have my doubts that they will accept a notarized copy but any confirmation to this end will be helpful. Does IELTS send test reports directly to the immigration office in London?
3. Notarization of documents: Asked this in Trackitt as well. If my documents are already attested from a Notary in India, would this be sufficient for the Immigration authorities in London? Can documents originating from Dubai also be notarized from India (for example copy an employment contract, copies of bank statements etc?)
Simply put it’s much cheaper and less complicated to get documents attested as true copy in India than in many other places.
4. Employment letters: I have arranged a simple letter from my company dated sometime in Jan'09 regarding my role, designation, start date & salary. It does not have any rosy recommendations simply becuase I don't wanna tell my employer about my intentions to move. Would this letter suffice? How long is a letter of reference valid? The one that I have in Jan'09 would suffice? If I support this with bank statements till feb'09, I guess it should prove that am still gainfully employed? Do I need to also send a notarized copy of my employment contract as well?
Too many questions but am sure any replies would benefit many people with similar queries.
Cheers and good luck to all!
