It's happening more often now. I don't believe so many of the biometrics get lost into post but HO did not send the letters. I applied in april, only applicant of us two received bio.. invitation and other is still waiting. I would suggest to wait for few more days and write an email to nationalitybiometrics@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk if nothing has arrived by then. HO would wait for 15 days which is the deadline to enroll bio.. before issuing another letter, believing they had issued first letter which is not always true.

Hi All,

While applying through NCS, you DON'T have to send the Home Office ANY original documents, except the Life in the UK Test Pass Certificate. The NCS personnel will take photo copy of all the required documents and will send it along with your application. Also I was told that the Home Office will NOT return the Life in the UK test certificate if your application was successful.

Cheers,
Sam

My debit card will expire in two weeks time! I hope they are gonna take the money ASAP. Most of the people applied in March 2015 got approved within 4 weeks. NCS lady told me HO is not gonna ask for biometrics as I have done it last year during ILR. Has anyone applied in may 2015 got approval?

smartkhan · Post by **smartkhan** » Mon Jun 01, 2015 4:45 pm

There is a new rule that was applied in April 2015 that you will have to give Biometric information for naturalisation applications as well. It doesn't matter if you have already given the biometric fingerprints/picture in previous applications.
