December 2013 - Naturalization timeline

sidhujazz · Post by **sidhujazz** » Wed Feb 05, 2014 5:07 pm

Agree with TTOE, there is nothing wrong in being hopeful. Indeed 6 months is the wait time, but for 98% of the people here since timeline started it has always been less than 6 months for the approvals. Yes oct did cause a massive backlog but i am sure things are getting back on track again.

Would new applications effect the people who need there certificate corrected? I mean how long does it take to change an E into and I?

Couple of my friends who send their applications in October and 2 in November got their approvals but they are not members of this forum

I was informed at Manchester NCS that the number of applications after Oct 2013 per month are far less than average, hopefully that will make approvals come sooner.

Some applications are much more straight-forward, and therefore quicker to approve, than others.

Good to know that so far three applications submitted in Dec 13 are much more "straight-forward" than a whole raft of late Oct & Nov 2013 applications. Hmmm! I tell you, you never know the HO ways menh!
