Hi

I have a applied for my 6 months old daughter's MN1 @ Hounslow on 15/09/2015, acknowledgement received on 27th and biometric done on 3/10/2015.

since that I am anxiously waiting for the certificate have to travel to india, many peple told me that it will come in 4 weeks because child never traveled out of the Uk and doesnt have Indian passport.

I had booked the flight tickets too and worried of canceling.

Anybody applied in september Please update.

Applied Hounslow NCS 15/09/2015
Biometric 03/10/2015

This delay on MN1 applications is just appalling. Irrespective of the timeframe attached to handling the application . It's way too wrong for HO to charge such a huge sum and yet no effort made on processing times.

Especially with application for babies born in the UK and not even holding passport of any other nationality . What in this flipping world are they checking . Does babies now commit crime in their mothers womb. This is unitedly ridiculous. I have a lot of respect for UKBA and British government as a whole but this is so shameful and shouldn't be happening. Even if they have backlogs , why not atleast have the festive season in mind and work extra shifts to clear down applications. If there are ones they require further investigation, can they not look at others while the investigation is going on??

It's painful. I can understand if AN1 or MN1's for certain categories take longer to process due to checks needed to carry out . But for babies still very young and born in the UK , what the heck!

My application is for a 5 month old and I am now waiting for over 2 months. Application was sent in when he was 3 months. SAD!!!!!. I will be missing one in a lifetime family event this Christmas from the look of things . I am nearly loosing my mind right now!!!!

I shouldn't even have applied for this because I acquired permanent residence months before I gave birth to my sons which I should have thought made him a BC at birth. But HMPO nationality team at Liverpool contacted me twice to inform me that I cannot apply for British passport without registering the child.

I had changed my home sometime in between. After searching this forum, found the above link and finished the address change form online. I couldn’t do anything else over phone or letter. Looks like it worked and I received the certificate at my new home.

Wish all my fellow applicants gets their result soon too. Good luck.

Thank you all. You are the greatest support for all people dealing with the lousy home office.

It seems like the people who applied through NCS are getting there approvals early than post.

Amazing... Congrats to people who have got their approval..

It's quite amazing and intriguing as to how the HO works. We applied for my son on 18th July and no certificates yet and many people who I know applied in August and September and have already got their certificates.
We applied through NCS. I do not think there is any priority for people through NCS.. as some people who I knew applied through post later and got their approval.. I had even written to my MP but he replied to me saying that wait for 6 months and then if it doesn't happen even then, he will write to Home Office. This is really frustrating as after paying so much money, they (HO) do not care for time. Our was a simple Tier 1 to ILR case. Son was born here .. all documents in place. Don't know why is it taking so long.. ?

I applied for my twin daughters for naturalization. They dont have any passport. I applied on 12/5/15. I paid by card but the payment was declined as they said three difit was wring. so i send cheque. They deducted the fees and also done biometric on 29/11/15. Still waiting for certificate. Any idea how long it takes after biometric?? should i call them ?? Need to travel insia urgently as father is not well. M so stressed out..

Its look like that people applied in September receiving their approvals, I can keep my fingers across but it is so frustrating that home office doesn't provide any update on the application..

It is like a lottery system there is no queue just a luck.

Good luck to everyone who still waiting and thank you for the support on this site

It is a new pilot scheme with some NCS's to apply for citizenship and passport at the same time.
