[quote="Therapist"]Hi,

I submitted Naturalisation application on 8/12/2014 in NCS - Fees was detected on 15/12/2014 and confirmation was received on 16/12/2014 - Since waiting for decision. I was planing to go abroad for few weeks - but difficult to make mind, because i am anxious that in my absence if HO wants any documents etc. Could any of you guys have had same experience and then what you done? I have seen many of register user submitted their application in Jan, Feb and in March and they have received their approval and ceremony dates. Have any you guys has submitted application in December 2014?

Look forward to hearing from you soon.

Thanks

You can request your Passport back from HO and as long you got someone at home to deal with your post you should be fine.

HI
We are on the same situation. I have submitted on 12 december 2014. Since then, I am nervously waiting.
It is so unfair that jan/feb/marh applications are processed so much quickly, while December applications are obviously under the dust. how on earth could that be possible ?

Hi mate, why was county court invovled? this might be a question the home office will like to know to decide if you are off good character, if it was just to go through a divorce process then it will not be a problem, but make sure you say it on you form as they check everything, if you were arrested,been to court etc.

Hi Naqwi

Could you please us how did you get your documents back before the decision made. Did that effect the decision (means the application treated as withdrawn?)

Your help will be much appreciated.

Thanks

Good Evening

I have called the home office this morning, After I provided my details with a male advisor, he promptly said to me "as stating on the system we have sent to you a decision letter yesterday Monday 30 march" when I asked whether the decision is approval or refusal he said "I am not allowed to mention on the phone"

I hope it will be approval as my case was very very simple, I applied on 29 of September and yesterday was on my six months annivarsary

I will update you the earliest I receive it.
