December 2014 - Naturalisation Application Timeline

[Trahman007]

hello everybody. Still waiting and waiting.If some one have any information please post.Even calling home office is now useless as they give standard answer. thanks

Hi I am still waiting also
I called the HO and they said to wait till six months.
I applied in the 1st week of December.
Should I get in touch with my mp or wait till the 6 months is over

[galaxy1]

what I understand there is no point before six months to contact MP. Even you contact MP the answer from HO will remain the same (wait 6 months) .thanks

Hi
i got today's letters but my HO letter is not in there. Fed up waiting for postman each day.

Applied on 9th Dec through NCS. Rang 4 to 5 times and every time the same old answer " wait till six months". ii guess no point in contacting MP. one of my friend has done it and they replied guidelines it may take uipto six months .

one of other friend applied march 9th and received approval 31st march. it took just 21 days. i think we were unlucky ones as we applied 1st and 2nd week of dec.

Hope fully we all get soon.

Applied 10 December, Tier 1 General, No news yet, It is absolutely unfair why some get their answer in 3 weeks and some not even in 6 months period.

Its same for each month, i.e. October & November. Only few lucky ones are getting their approval in less than a month time.

response from UK Visa office

U or whoever have asked them to provide the stats as of the date of their response which should have been in 8th of April 2015 but they have given out stats till 31-12-2014. Which means they do not include applications from DEC which has approved/processed from 01-01-2015 onward.

HO can not even read one simple email properly and act accordingly. How one can expect them to be efficient when dealing with naturalization applications.

We r totally in incompetent hands, may GOD shower some mercy on us and guide HO on the right path, thats the only thing anyone can do is pray.
