Hi Everyone,mmali wrote: ↑Tue Apr 10, 2018 12:15 pmHi Everyone,
I applied for naturalisation on 14/12/2017 and still waiting for the outcome.My solicitor did not do a good job because he sent my wife original passport along with my application which she need it now. I did an online request for returning my wife original passport on 15/03/2018.I did not receive it within 10 working days so I again on 03/04/2018 filled another online form Called (I did not receive my document) again .I have not heard anything from HO yet.
My question ,Has any member experienced such thing in returning document request?
If nothing happen ,what would be my next step?
Thanks
Thanks for your view
I had 8 months gap and provided bank statements any most of the correspondence which could highlight my presence. Communication with govt department is always better, TV licence, council, voting ...HMRC etc ...hurrah wrote: ↑Wed Apr 18, 2018 3:42 pmHi, went to the NCS today and I didn't take my previous passport so I'll have to go again tomorrow.
My current passport starts on the 17th of September 2015 and my last one ends on the 19th of January 2015, so there's an 8 month gap there. Now in 2015, I took my AS-Levels, so I'm going to take my certificates and my results there to show that I did the exams in the June of 2015. But there's still a 5 month gap in between January and June.
But during this period, in May 2015 I also got my indefinite leave to remain.
Is this enough evidence that I was in the UK throughout this entire period?
Thank you for your response. The thing is in 2015 I was under-18. Whatever bank statements I got I threw away since I never used my card, never visted doctors, paid no bills/taxes or whatever. I don't even have my school reports from that time, just my AS-level examination results and certificates so it is quite annoying to have this gap.dontringthebell wrote: ↑Wed Apr 18, 2018 11:06 pmI had 8 months gap and provided bank statements any most of the correspondence which could highlight my presence.

Bank will always have records of statements and can be printed off. They will know the date you applied etc.hurrah wrote: ↑Thu Apr 19, 2018 12:18 amThank you for your response.

If anyone else could tell me if just providing exam results and such is okay, that'd be great.

Any help would be much appreciated.
I submitted my online application on 23/02/2018, and received my acknowledgement email on 26/02/2018. I appreciate my application is still within 6 months timescale, however, by reading some online forums I could see that the some applicants didn’t receive their approval letters by post which resulted them not being able to attend their citizenship ceremony on time. As a result of this they had to re-submit their applications. This could potentially be an error on Royal Mail’s part or the Home Office.
I have called Home Office three times but I was refused an update because my application is still within 6 months timescale.
I solely would like to know if the application has been decided or it’s still pending a decision. Is there any way to get an update ?
Again, the online forums show that the applicants who submitted their applications in early March have received their decisions. Therefore, I’m a bit concerned that the decision letter may have gone missing in the post as it’s normally sent via a normal 2nd class mail.
Am I just over thinking and getting paranoid or is it normal for HO to take longer on certain applications without any valid reason or update.
Cheers
If I can recall correctly, my NCS rep informed me the onus of proving my stay in UK lies with me, though it's also true home office has access to landing cards information etc, you don't need to worry if you were in the country. Declare in a cover letter and that should suffice after all you can't create a document.hurrah wrote: ↑Thu Apr 19, 2018 12:18 amThank you for your response. The thing is in 2015 I was under-18.

HiMac242628 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 19, 2018 8:32 pmDear senior members,
I am seeking urgent help on my friend’s behalf since he is not a member yet.
He submitted his British citizenship application with the uncertified photocopy of his passport covering some part if his stay as he had lost his previous passport.
He got a letter from Home Office to provide the other evidence of his residence. However they haven’t mentioned in the letter what evidence of residence can be accepted. If you can please help in what documents can be supplied would be really appreciated since they have given very short time deadline by 24th April and failure to comply will result in refusal of application.
Many thanks
In order to cover the period for lost passport he may provide any and as many correspondence between him and government departments during that period, council, DVLA hmrc, if those are limited you may provide bank statements which cover local expenditure, payslips, rental agreement etc, children's school letters if that applies to you, utility bills are seldom accepted. HO want to establish if he was in UK and best document is passport, if lost passport you may provide any police report you may have for same, also you could write. As my response to another member, NCS told me onus of proving your stay in UK is upon the applicant.Mac242628 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 19, 2018 8:32 pmDear senior members,

Hi there, as long as u have done biometrics and they confirmed your application received, you are still ok on the right track. outcome could take up to 6months and some cases longer.Ja314ja wrote: ↑Fri Apr 20, 2018 4:04 pmHi everyone

Hi ZfdarZFDar wrote: ↑Tue Apr 10, 2018 10:44 amHi Maha Malik

I applied on 3rd of November, and I am still waiting for a decision yet. I am getting little impatient now.
I emailed them yesterday and got very generic reply “Thank you for your e-mail. All applications are dealt with in application receipt date order. As you application was received on 32th November 17, It will take a while longer for your application to be considered”… (32th Nov 2017) Yes that's right... lol
did you get your approval letter ?
could you please update your case ? I am in same situation.
thanks

Hi Jadoom,
I got this response from them today,
“You will be contacted by a casewourker in due course” any idea what that meant??
