Yes, tekaweni is right! I guess the Register Office that was suggested in my citizenship invitation has got a very long queue of people with them. Maybe some register offices are not that busy so the dates for oathtaking are not that far away. Anyway, I was told about the option of having a private ...

Re: Is Anybody's NAturalization rejected?

Cheers[/quote] Dunno. The Life in the UK test book (not the one by HO, but the smaller, more useful one!) has a pie chart with information on how people fail to qualify.

Sorry to say our appointment was much earlier. We went in at 10.30 and finished at about 11.30am. We were followed by another Asian looking couple though. Maybe they were the ones you saw! Anyway, nice chatting with you. Hope you update all of us here in this forum about the status/development of ...

Yes I've got it! That's right, Royal Mail Track and Trace ref# is the same as the Home Office ref#. I have checked the Royal Mail website and the Home Office in Liverpool received my family's application on 28/03/2007, the day after our NCS appointment. I noticed you had NCS in Hampshire on 27/03/07 ...

Hello there! Thanks for sharing your experience.

How do you find the tracking number? I am not sure if the NCS checker gave me one. Is that the same as the Home Office Ref No. which you use if you want the ring the Home Office for follow-up?
