Hi All,
I have been following this forum and I think it's brilliant.

I have a question and please I will be happy if I can get as many answers or replies.
I received a letter from HO on the 11.09.2015 (dated 08.09.2015) asking for my old passport to cover the period from June, 2010 to February, 2014 (to demonstrate specifically that I meet the resident requirements for naturalization). Deadline to send it to them was the 30.09.2015.
Passport was sent to HO on the 12.09.2015 (by royal mail special delivery) and received on the 14.09.2015 (royal mail tracking).

What does this mean?
Has anyone received a similar letter?
Will it take long before I get an approval?
Please is there anybody with similar experience who has gotten an approval?

My timeline is below and my wife who applied the same day with me has gotten her approval letter on the 18.09.2015

Hi all

It appears some sharing rights on the original tracking document have changed, which has made it difficult/impossible for people to access. I've therefore made a copy, which is open to edit. Happy sharing:


Good luck to everyone.

Hello everyone.

I have a quick question for those who didn't use NCS and posted their application via Special Delivery.

Did you received your approval and documents all together? and did you receive them via your pre-paid Special Delivery envelop?

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Hi everyone been following this forum from June, also applied on 4th June, and I am suprised to see people before and after 10th June recieving Approval and non between 5th and following week!


My question is the same, when you send special delivery for your documents in the application, do you recieve them together? Or the approval letter is separate?


I hope everyone gets their approval quickly

Purple77, according to the spreadsheet (collecting data from this forum) only 2 applications out of 14 between 4th of June and 10th of June are still pending, most of the people have got their approval for those dates. A little patience and it will be with you very soon.
