March 2015 Naturalization application timeline

[tomboy]

Is everyone getting both emails and written letters? I've only received the acknowledgement letter, I didn't receive an email (even checked the spam folder just in case) and I had included my email address on the application form.

There is no logic in who gets email confirmation vs those who gets written correspondence vs those who gets both. For long as youu fall in either of those 3 scenarios, you're sound (as pound!)

I have recieved only ack letter on 21 march and i applied on 11th of march.good luck guys

Weird! I would have expected the immigration place would be a tyrant for doing exactly the same thing for each application and would send emails to everyone..... but then again... I did read a month or two back that someone was initially granted citizenship who even stated in their application that they didn't qualify. LOL I believe it was revoked, if I remember correctly.

Wow... Why would they even apply if they knew that they would not qualify??.....

No idea, wish I could think what the article title was and then I'd post it. I read it on the BBC website.

Prolly coz in certain scenarios basis of your non qualification falls under discretion (presuming you've met all other criteria).

Lol - too early for my area! Dont know if this stat/conclusion stands much scrutiny but apparently those who've made joint applications, usually leg behind when compared to those single. I am on the former, so I might be holding on for a bit
