I've seen people applied in the first week of May only just started receiving their acknowledgement letter alongside a biometric invite.
I applied on 11/05, but only had money taken more than 5 weeks after, on 18/06, although the two letters came in just a couple of days afterwards.

It appears that as long as they took your money, you are in the pipeline and in safe hands.

You must write an email, it is not normal and people who wrote them emails got the biometric letter. It must have been lost some where.

Hi,

I applied on 01st June 2015. When I apply the application was March 2015. I just realised there is a May 2015 application. I used Barnet NCS. No one advised me at the NCS on 01st June 2015.

Anyone else have such situation ? Will this have an impact to my application.

I got my acknowledgement letter on 13/06 but still haven't got biometrics letter. Is this something to worry about? I was told by NCS that since I have already provided biomterics during ILR stage, I wouldn't need to provide them now.. but looking at the comments from all, everyone seems to have got biometric request. Can someone please confirm?
I think you will have to go for BIOMETRICS for naturalisation as well but not sure on how long does it takes after payment deducted.

which application did you fill March 2015 or May 2015?
