So I have some good news! I received my approval letter this past weekend. Woohoo! It was dated 27th January, which is two days short of the 6 month mark. The Citizenship ceremony invitation should arrive within 2 weeks. I applied from within the UK, and I'm from Nigeria. No MP or lawyers involved ...

Hello everyone, It's been months now since I logged into this. I have noticed that there are a lot of new ukf applicants. For the sake of sharing this to my co-ukf hopefulls I will be giving you all an update. I have already received a letter from UKVI on december 23 2015. It was dated 4 Dec 2015 ...

Hi everyone!!!! I am extremely pleased to say that I received my approval letter this morning dated 17/11!!!!!!! I'm shaking and cannot believe it!!! I've been dancing around my flat all morning and cannot stop smiling!!!! In total it took more or less exactly 7 months. I am in the UK, and was able ...

An update. After my post on Thursday I received an email, in response to an email I sent 6 weeks before, saying a decision had been made and a letter was in the post. Today I received our documents back and a letter saying our application had been successful. It said the certificate will follow ...

Thanks for the info Jon.

To all who have already received the biometrics letter: I have a friend in UK who is not in this forum who received her biometrics letter this week - it stated that they had already sent a previous biometrics letter, which she never received, and that they are giving her another 30 days to do the ...

The other person was applying from Australia. The only document they've issued https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/418544/BRP_International_Rollout_Schedule_v2.pdf about the schedule of opening the biometric schedule (unless there's another one that I haven't ...

I've just heard from someone who is approaching, or has even possibly reached by now, the six-month mark since their application. They say that they've now received a letter from the Home Office recognising that their application was approaching the 'target' resolution date of six months, and ...

Dear Sir/Madam My name is Yasin Tamimi and I live in Occupied Palestinian Territories. I am a considered as a British citizen by descent as my father was a British citizen by naturalization (he was naturalized in 1975). I have submitted an overseas passport application along with the following ...

I also sent in a certified copy from the National Archives. Just send it to the Home Office, and let them decide if it suffices as proof or not. I can't imagine why they would have a problem with it, but we can only wait and see.

Hi All Firstly, I just wanted to say how incredibly helpful reading this forum has been, and thank you to all of those that have taken the time to post advice and experiences. I just wanted to find out if anyone had arrived at the stage of Citizenship Ceremony yet? Also, do overseas applicants ...

@lagos1980 Yes, my passport was sent to me with my Biometrics letter together with my fathers birth certificate. And also one more thing I forgot to tell you... The 4th page/paper of 4 of my Biometrics letter served as an acknowledgment from them stating that they have deducted the 80 pounds ...

So, did the website bug finally get fixed? How was the biometrics thing - what sort of documents did they ask for? No. You see, when making an appointment through VFS using their UKVI Appointment System, you have to choose first your "Country of Operations" from the dropdown list then the VFS ...

@lagos1980 The 1st page/paper of 4 has 2 barcodes. The first barcode which is on the top right corner of the paper is Code128. And the barcode on the bottom left corner is of PDF417. Try to google barcodes Code128 and PDF417 to see what they look like. The remaining 3 pages just also contains my ...

I'm curious about the content of the biometrics letter being sent out to overseas applicants. My sister will be applying from Nigeria, which has an abysmal post office system, so I'm worried about her getting the letter in time to enroll her biometrics within 30 days. The biometrics letter I ...

In 1-2 weeks you will get your letter to go do biometrics.

Fingers crossed!

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone knows where I could obtain someone's naturalisation/registration number that is required for the form UKF, or where I could make an enquiry? I am trying to apply for BC with form UKF under section 4G of the new Immigration Act 2014, but unfortunately I don't have my ...

I'm so thrilled to have found fellow UKF citizenship applicants! I'm applying from the UK, and they received my application on the 29th of July. So fingerscrossed.
