That's rubbish, in my opinion. I have never heard of it. My husband is Algerian and to get 10 year visa it took only 3 weeks. Never have had any problem with his name or nationality...

Rubbish! This is totally the wrong country to display the persecuted syndrome; especially when dealing with government agencies.
They would be slaughtered by the media if this came out.

No government wants this on their record; unless Nigel Farage wins the next elections, that is.

Am a bit nervous as I had a court issue 3 points and £60 fine due to not being able to pay a speeding conditional offer because I was away with the army. I did my own subject access request anyway with acpo and found this was not on my criminal record anyway.

Hi,

I have applied on 03-Mar and the HO received the application on 04-Mar. Money taken on 08-Mar, still no acknowledgement from HO at all. As many people discussed, there are inconsistencies in getting ack.. some by emails, some by post, some like me - haven't heard anything at all. I was really worried till last week but realised you cannot do anything but wait.. I know its hard, but lets wait and see what happens! Good luck..

Roc,
Banks & Home office is closed on Sunday. So I don't see how the money could have been taken out on the 8th March. Home office took the money for my account on the 13th March' which was a Friday and is still waiting to get the money out since it was over the weekend. Any debit that goes in on a Friday will be approved the following Tuesday. So if your went in on a "Sunday" don't know when that will be approved .

Hi Tangie,

If you look at other posts for Feb-2015 timelines, many have got their approvals on 08-Mar (Sunday). Mine was taken on 08-Mar and received an alert from my bank on 08-Mar morning and the funds decreased on 09-Mar. I have no idea how they deducted the money on Sunday (Even I had the same question in my 1st post to this forum. Anyways, my bank online statement shows: PURCHASE NATIONALITY DIRECTORAT LIVERPOOL GB 150308.

Like you, even I am at a loss! well.. !

Hi
I have received ack letter by post not email . What I have noticed that most of the time there is a gap between the letter dated and the day we receive letters specially by posts . So dont worry . Best of luck.

That has got nothing to do with what last name you have. That unfortunately is a norm or one may call it inconsistency!

OK so you accept inconstancy is not far away from inequality anyway I was quoting somebody who believe some Muslim countries applicant get more scruitnie .

Just called the HO call centre (you got me scared there!) and was told that the money can be deducted on Sundays sometimes.. and from the date of money being deducted, I have to wait for upto 14 days to receive the ack.. If not, then to call them. But it is quite normal for HO to deduct money on Sunday! Hope this clarifies.

No, I don't! - Inconsistency has no correlation to the name or country you come from! Lets not get this any more traction, I am sure your take away is clear from what others have highlighted, your source of information or one who has drove that conclusion has no foundation. All the best for your application!

Its better to not go to that way and nobody know the internal process of ukba,anyway I submit ielts from 2005 done in abroad and never used it before ,do you think It will be any problem.

According to my poor knowledge you can use it even though if its expired. Hope so it won't create any problem. All the best . Anyway if you have used NCS so when you were submitting your application so you should have asked that person to make it clear ?

Thanks

Hi Friends,

I hope some senior members will help me.

I am due to apply for and thinking of booking through NCS.

In July 2013, I got FIXED PENALTY (SP50, 3 Points and £60 fine). Then in August 2014, I unfortunatly got CCJ on my name. I couldnt go to court because i was badly wounded by a dog and was too weak to do anything. The police was involved, but decided not press charges to the dog owner. The judge sentence against me and got CCJ as i couldn't attend the court hearing.

I have arrange with the credit card company paying monthly instalment. Then In Feb 2015, I got a letter from the court stating

" Upon reading a letter from the Claimant, IT IS ORDERED THAT The Attachment of Earnings Application is Adjourned Generally with Liberty to Restore at the Request of Either Party".

Will all this affect my citizenship application under good character? I got ILR through long stay. i have no police caution or criminal record.

Any help on my case will be appreciated from all members. really worried

Thank you
