Hi Everyone, I am looking for answers regarding waiting times but here is what my process has consisted of thus far. I am applying for British Citizenship and Passport through decent. My mother was born in the UK and i was born before 1983. I am applying from Cape Town South Africa through a 3rd party Move Up.

Eligibility criteria: UKM (through decent)
Nationality: South African
Method of application: Move Up (3rd Party)
Date of application: 01/09/2015 (with DHL services)
Date received in the UK: 05/09/2015 (i think)
Payment method: 3rd party paid
Date of acknowledgement : No Acknowledgment received.
Date money gone off account: Note sure as the payment was made by Move Up
Date of letter requesting biometrics: 27 October 2015 but dated 5 October 2015
Biometrics done: Yes (2 November 2015)
Date of approval : Heard nothing yet (hope it does not take 6 months)
Date of ceremony : nothing yet
Date applied for passports : nothing yet
Date passports received : nothing yet

Moderator Note : Please don't post questions in this thread as it is for timelines ONLY and any other discussions will be deleted. UKM can take anything from a couple of months to 6 or 8 months. You will need to wait and be patient. There is a UKM thread already if you want to post there.
