London Visa Office

[why_not_try]

Hi everyone with experience of LVO - awaiting for your input and would really appreciate a response.

Hi, I'm getting ready to apply for FSW under NOC 1123 - and my application will be submitted within the next couple of weeks. I have a question for members of this forum. I have done my best to research on the web but not come up with useful input - would appreciate your input.

I am an Indian citizen but I live in Denmark. Therefore, technically I could choose either LVO or NDVO. Since I live in europe under LVO jurisdiction, it makes more sense to me that I should put LVO as the visa office.

Is there anything I should be aware of? Any reason I should think about choosing NDVO?

Once consideration is that I can't be in India for long period of times. I (and my passport) need to stay in Europe. If my application is successful - I can easily send passport to LVO and keep traveling in schengen zone without it (which is what i need to do for my job). Only reason I had a doubt about LVo is because I heard that it can be one of the slowest offices....

Dear Mates,
I need your advice!

I am residing in Abu Dhabi, As I am expecting MR soon Insha Allah, By the grace of Allah, We are expecting new baby in next 3 months. Now if i get MR in this period then I have 2 options, either to go for medicals using protective shield or to write to CIC for extension in MR to be completed.

My question is that if I go for medicals and get passport request for visas before arrival of new baby, then can we ask them at that stage to wait for new baby to add in application OR we should send passports to obtain visas and later on apply for adding new baby in the application and get visa on later stage before landing.

2- Is medicals for new born baby is required ?

3- Should i ask for extension in Medicals till the baby arrives and then one time add him/her in application and go for medicals and other processes ?

4- If extension in Medicals is granted, then should i need to add my new baby first before medicals and go for medicals after that or right after delivery we can go for medicals and simultaneously we can add new baby?

I am bit confused about the scenario, so please advise me accordingly.

Thanks.

[tarunbhardwaj84]

Hello guys,

I was askd to submit more proof to substantiate my exp in noc 2147. I got all documents ready however, I have another delima that i just realized.

One of my previous company offer letter states that i was hired as "asst engineer - data recovery" . However tht company closed down within 4 months and so they moved me to their head office as "network engineer". However there was no official change of title offer letter or anything except change of visa.

Now problem is when i initially submitted my application, i didnt have the offer letter but i found it now simce they asked to submit more proof. N im afraid it creates confusion now about my position title. All letters that i have from the company other than offer letter states my responsiibilities and work exp letter as network engineer.

what can i do?
Any suggestions? Im extremely confused.

Thanks for your help again.
