Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2018

[Malayer]

All - can someone please answer a question for me:

How does the LVO communicate about medical/police cert requirement? is it by post or by email? and who does it go to? applicant or sponsor?

Usually by email. In my case, the request for PCC and IME was emailed to both sponsor and applicant and also it was showing on Mycic account.

Hi, if somebody can help me.
1) Do we need to submit parents marriage certificate even if you are sponsoring just 1 parent and the other parent has expired? And no dependants.
2) My birth certificate does not have mother's last name but it is on my passport, will it still be ok? Any additional documents we can use to support?

yes you need provide marriage certificate and both parents should pass Medical even just one need a PR

1) The other parent has expired. So both don't need to pass medical. They will most likely request a death certificate if you don't submit one upfront.
2) It was the same for me. In addition to passport copies and birth certificate, i sent an explanation letter indicating how generic last name such as "Singh" and "kaur" on birth certificates was common from where I am. I also sent a copy of my parents' old ID that didn't have their last name on it.

Haven't received PCC request but just being proactive. Is there a specific format/template that we have to follow for getting PCC done from India?

Anyone? Just want to know if there is a template that needs to be followed for getting PCC in India? Or is it just going to the local Police station and asking for a PCC?

Going to local police station is fine. I have seen PCCs from both passport office and SP's office being accepted without any issue.

I received the SA letter by mail. However PCC and IME was requested by email.

thanks, and based on your timeline, it's the longest waiting time between SA and IME on the SS, best luck

My husband is Indian and his parents also did not have marriage certificate despite being married 40+ years. So they went to court in India to "get married" again and received the certificate of marriage.... Maybe same thing your parents can do too?

thank you for the idea...there is process for old marriages that are not registered, but the process is very cumbersome to the fact that applicant need two witness who should be in the marriage pictures. 40 years ago in India not all marriages had photographers.

You can get an Affidavit for Marriage prepared by a notary in India.

Thanks for responding back.

Will a notary affidavit work- that my mother's name on birth certificate actually corresponds to the same person as on passport?

My parents got the marriage certificate in a single day in Delhi. They told me that all process is online. They just have to attach 3 affidavits. One for each person and one joint. Also they have to take 2 witness to sign it and they have issued the certificate same day. Total cost came to Rs.900. In SDM office they will try to scare you by asking bullshit like marriage photos and other stuff. But as per the Hindu marriage act anyone can declare and registered their marriage. Also the funny thing agents outside were asking 40,000 rs to get the marriage certificate.
But the problem in India that rules are not clear with documentation.
