November 2014 - Naturalisation Application Timeline

[pelen23]

Seems like they have become very slow, following being super-fast at handling these things beginning of October.

I think they have approved quite a few application up until the mid October even though there was a delay in debiting the fee.hopefully, November applications will come through by Xmas

Yea, it looks like we have to wait 20 days to get acknowledgement and be debited of fees. Then the wait continues
