HO is getting back on track...

Hello guys, I am already updating all my timeline in the Naturalisation application timeline thread but thought to update here for the benefit of everyone specially amthekkel who is doing an excellent work! Keep it up man.

If you look at my timeline you will feel that HO has responded quite well compared to applications made in Nov/Dec or early January '14. Within 7 days (not working days) they have had application fee debited and ack letter in post.

Eligibility criteria: 1yr HSMP+ 4 yrs Tier-1 + 1yr ILR
Language criteria met :IELTS 8.0
Method of application: NCS
Council name if NCS used: Wokingham
Date of application: 29.01.2014

Date of receipt by UKBA: 03.02.2014 (Royal mail Proof of Delivery)
Date of acknowledgement: Dated 07.02.2014 (Received 11.02.2014)

Approvals at the End of Feb for the January applications seem too early. What do U think?

If you look at my application timeline, I won't be surprised to get a decision mid March or end of March.
There is a possibility on early Jan applications to get a decision end of Feb.

Hi guys, Ive checked the Nov and Dec 2013 threads. As of 13 Feb, around 20% of Dec applications have been approved. This assumers that HO has the remaining of this month to settle Dec (and some Nov) applications. We should see Jan application approvals to come from first week of March. Comments?

I think the same. Judging by the progress of November/December applications approval I think in March our January applications will start getting resolved.

Is this based on Fee date or application date?

Mid November as well as some December approvals have started to come in and judging by their rate in the past 10 days my guess is that January application approvals should start to roll in from beginning of March,

Hello,

I dont understand something.

My Fees went out of my account on 6 February. I called the HO this morning and they told me the fee has still not yet been cleared from there end.

Its cleared from my bank but not the HO.

What does this mean?

If the money was debited on 6 which was a Thursday 2 weeks ago...it should be all clear now..right? Its been longer than 6 working days. Does anyone know ?

In your acknowledgment letter it should say that your fee has been paid in full.

I didnt get any acknowledgment letter.

My case is I sent a request to the HO to get my Certificate corrected as it has slight spelling error.

On phone, the advisor guy said I should get some sort of correspendonce in next 3 weeks.

Im a bit woried now why they didnt clear my payment fee yet my bank cleared it.

If you have certificate of naturalization I suggest you open a new thread as you will more likely get an answer than here in January applications.

Based on recent posts in December 2013 (and some November 2013), it appears that the January 2014 applications will start to see results/approvals by first week of March. Firstly, over half of December is yet to be decided, and secondly, the time being taken from the point of fee deduction/acknowledgement letter to the issuance of approval letter is approx 4 to 5 weeks. Much of the October rush is over/cleared. So hang on in there... Any comments?
