How long to spend at NCS?

Hi

I am planning to apply for my naturalisation via my local NCS.
Probably will take time off from work on weekday to do it since my weekend schedules are quite busy at the moment.
Could someone advise estimates on how long does it take for the whole process to be completed at NCS?

Thanks

You can go to any NCS not just your residential council. You can go to the one closest to your work. But note NCS fees are wildly different between councils so shop around for the best deal!

I've just been to mince - and it took around 10 minutes. Good luck!

Good, so Home Office's old/faulty format form got accepted then?

Also can you recommend if any London based NCS that accepts American Express as payment method?
Both Harrow and Brent don't seem to accept AMEX.
