Today I am filling forms for return journey to India and Visa extension. Yes, its time to go back home. My visa is expiring on 29th May. After approx 9 months, I am going back to India this month end. But it will be for 3 - 4 weeks only. I have to come back to UK again with long term Visa.
The process starts with mailing to Chandrashekhar (our PF) about Visa expiry and Visa extension.
In return Chandru has sent me some documents which I have to fill and send back to him.
The documents includes
- Tier2 declaration-pg39-0414,
- Pbsdependant declaration-pg33-0714 &
- Tier2_Assessment Form-RAS052015
Apart from that, I need to also raise following requests:
- Relocation request,
- Visa request and
- Travel request (Can be done only after Relocation request is approved)
Most important thing is Visa request and Relocation request. Once relocation request has been done, then only I would be able to raise a travel request and get my tickets done.
There has been some problem with my last relocation request while travelling from India to London. That has been causing me trouble in raise a new relocation request for travel back from London to India.
[Friday 22nd May] So finally Relocation request is approved by Manager, Immigration, New Business PF and PSS teams. Finally my relocation letter is also uploaded in the system. Now only approval is pending from Travel team. After that, I will get my tickets and I have to submit my joining form within 3 days of my travel start date.
[Saturday 23rd May] Now my travel request got approved and got a mail for confirmation of tickets and accommodation. But again a twist in the story. I have raised travel request for return journey and they are saying it is safe to book one way tickets as Visa processing may take time so they are now asking me to cancel the previous travel request and raise a new request. Getting travel request approved may again proove a blocker :(
Lets see what happens next.
[Sunday 24th May] Finally they booked the one way ticket without getting the requests approved. They asked me to get the requests approved later in 2 days. I have got ticket for Sunday afternoon at 1.15 PM. I booked a cab from Hounslow to Heathrow. I reached Heathrow at around 11 AM. Checkin and security checks were very easy. Got into flight by 12.30 PM and started the journey back to India.
