May 2014 - Naturalisation Application Timeline

[dalvin]

Applied on the 12th of May 2014 - As my application has just gone over the required standard processing timeline, i sent both an email and letter to the home office on the 5th of November demanding that the casework give me a status up. I received a reponse to both correspondences on Monday 17th November informing me that my application was still under consideration as checks were still on going.

Surprise surprise, i have recieved a letter today 19th November from a Redsidency department within HMRC requesting that i provide evidence (letter from school, nursery, GP or local authority dated within the last three months) to prove that my two kids are resident in the country. If i dont respond before mid december the child benefit will be stopped. i have requested the information from the respective areas.

Juss wondering - are these some of the checks they request as part of the process randomly?? or its just a coincidence>

[murphy1]

this is the response given to my MP

‘We aim to process all applications within 6 months from the date submitted. However, in certain circumstances this target is not possible. Following our assessment of the case, unfortunately it appears your application will not be processed within the 6 month target.

This is because there are outstanding policy issues which need to be resolved which could affect the outcome of your case. I am sorry for the delay in dealing with your application and for the inconvenience this is causing. Please be assured that we are doing all we can to make a decision on your case as quickly as possible.’

The wait continues......

Hi Murphy1, this is the limit of there decreation and dictatorship.Were they sleeping till six month.their aim could be to process 95% application within six months but there intention is clear..keep the money in their bank account and exploits in the name of british citizenship........total worthless people.

I am sure no can find a bigger bunch of jokers than these idiots working in HO.

He/she is waiting for some outstanding policy issue but at the same time he/she is doing all he/she can to make a decision....Lolz

Now, coming to the outstanding policy issue, are they waiting for next year's election so that UKIP can form a new govt. and so called outstanding policy issue can be resolved because last time I checked policy issues are only decided at the highest level of govt. as these caseworkers with 2 GCSE's are employed just to perform the tick box exercise's.
Also, the existing policy on the date of application is imp.

Good evening everyone I heard from someone who works in the h/o that those applications are just sitting there and most has not even been allocated to a case worker
the explanation was the applications they receive which are not treated within a certain time frame and eventually fall out of Service level agreement has to be left until they can get people in on overtime to deal with them. They would need to get approval for overtime etc in the meantime they sit there gathering dust
The strange logic is that if they leave new applications to treat old applications the new ones might fall behind as well affecting their statistics so they keep treating new ones as they come In.
Realistically what policy change are they waiting for whilst new applications are getting approvals daily? Are the new applications also not subject to the same policy changes ?
I understand all those reasons including conducting external checks etc are holding excuses that has been approved as lines to people who are inquiring . They would at some point get it sorted and hopefully we don't all have to wait for much longer. Apparently there are a lot of applications sitting there untouched from may/june as a fall out of the passport backlog issue

[Holly05]

Hello all,

Will it not be ideal to take this further and let it make headline in the news?

This is so unfair if our applications are just sitting down in HO gathering dust while they treat most recent applications.

I don't think it will be difficult to write to bbc or itv.

If anyone has the means to take it to the news it might be worth trying
Unfortunately they have the cover of the 5% of applications outside 6 months to hide under
its only a question of time really

Hi there,
I have been waiting since February 20 all the things I have used but no body was helped I have tried to asked home office through email about 9 time and they reply just 3 time and since July they didn't replying. Even I have cantected MP for several time but unfortunately the reply I received is the same as home office they said your application is on Mandotory checks and will be taking more then 6 month. Which is very frustrating but what can I do.
This is clear discrimination from the home office to refugee status holder.
Best wishes for the rest.

I wrote the Home Secretary Theresa May and told what I had to say,about hw they telling us they're waiting for the change of policy which gone effect our application outcome and hw this is not legal and can't change the policy after taking the money,they should've tell us at least in early 2014 about the change of policy ,then we would decide to go on with our application or leave it,like when they asked for crb checks or life in uk and level 3 English,all of this they published at least 6 months before coming to force...mp doesn't work my friends,Some of us really get beating up by ukvi sneaky game mentally I mean ...write to home secretary by email and actual letter to her office,write to organisations which can deal with this matters and ask why im getting complete different treatment,why some of us waiting from November and December 2013 and yet didn't received noting...write to no.10 even and demand the explanation hw someone waiting over 1 year and after all this time u tell him/her oh sorry we are waiting for change of policy but someone else applied on 3 November 2014 got his approval Saturday the 22 November ,that's mean under 3 weeks...why???leave the mp and start writing to big guys like minister and even prime minister himself...if 50 of us do this we got there attention,I wrote an email to home secretary and gone post a letter tomorrow with record delivery to her office,my next move is to write to no.10....I'm just 1 person and may can't do much but if few of u who's looking for explanation why this the way of new ukvi write to big guys...I hope to hear from u soon..good luck

[chrisonrails]

For folks on this thread, I would suggest we write to shadow home secretory, Yvette Cooper, since current h/o ( Mrs May ) is ignoring us. I think what we should do is - put up a joint email and gather everyone's real name, address then send it to Mrs Cooper ( I think a collection of scanned acknowledgement letters from HO is even better). Joint letter is stronger than individual emails as this shows it is not a separate incident but a well spread issue, and it is time for us to join together to express our anger and frustration.

If you guys think this is a good idea, please reply this with your support and message me your real name ( not address needed yet ) , if I gather enough support, I will get my solicitor friend come up with some short text and put it here for review , and we can take from there...
