Hi

I applied for naturalisation on 27 Sep 2019 and | emailed FMT for update twice last week and I received the following replies:

Received First Email 2 days ago from MMST FCT Callnotes:
Thank you for your email.

We can confirm that you have successfully enrolled your biometrics.
Your application will now continue to progress until a decision is made.
We will contact you if we require any further information from you throughout the course of the application process. Please note; we will not contact you to provide regular updates and cannot provide a definitive application processing timescale.


AND Received Second email today from MMST FMT:

Thank you for your e-mail.
Applications are dealt with in application receipt date order. Therefore as your application was received on 27th September 2019, It will take a while longer for your application to be considered. You do not need to contact us. Once your application is decided, you will be contacted by your caseworker.


I'm so much stressed. Is any of these emails means any good news? any answers will be appreciated.

Many thanks

Thank you so much for your answers. I am refugee and two of my friends with Tier 2 visa had their decisions within 6 weeks. This is really unfair that they delay refugee aplications.

Well, I'm not a refugee actually. I'm an EU citizen and married to a British citizen (who, himself, was naturalised within four weeks). I'm not sure there is much logic! I totally sympathise.

I fully understand your point. However, as I said, the majority of tier 1 and 2 EU applicants are processed quicker than refugees. The majority means more than 85% of the these particular types of applicants.

Home Office will never say that they have a special order and priority in place as it will breach all ethical aspects which lead to discrimination other types of applicants.

One of my friend on Refugee status applied on 25th Nov 2019. He got the approval on 5th January. He is a British Citizen and received his passport today.
During his application, On 5th December 2019, he received a letter from the caseworker to explain his overstay visa time. I wrote a letter of support. He was overstayed for 7 months. So it doesn't matter when and how, it all about LUCK.
Otherside, Me and my other friend, we both got refugee status in 2013 few weeks gap. Got ILR in few week gaps, went for marriage in Sri Lanka in few weeks gap and our wives got spouse visa in few months gap. We applied naturalisation in few days gap and we both are still waiting from last 8 months....... NO NEWS TILL DATE....

Hi guys, sorry if this question has been asked before - but I couldn't find.
With online applications - what is considered as a date that the application has been received by the Home office? Is it the date when I submit the online application or is it when I attend the UKVCAS appointment? This is to ensure I meet the criteria of being the country on the day of the start of qualifying period.

thanks!

Hi everyone!
I need help! I came here when I was just 11 years old claimed asylum when I was 16. At that time I provided home office copy of my passport Got 5 years leave on humanitarian protection base. Applied for ilr that was also approved. I didn’t have no travel certificate or national passport until I gained ilr so after a while I wanted to go on holidays so I applied for my national passport so I did. I applied for naturalisation over 13 months ago it’s still pending I thought it will be a good idea if I apply for sar so on sar it apears that home office is considering of revoking protection and it’s been over 8 months and they haven’t decided anything just yet. just because I made my national passport and I couldn’t get hold to black certificate now my question is has any one come across this kind of situation? I would really appreciate if admin on this page give their thought on it thanks.

According to The Refugee Convention of 1951, if you are granted a humanitarian protection, you are still not allowed to apply for your national passport and of course use it at all. It it a breach of the main aspect of the convention. Under no any circumstances granted refugees and humanitarian protected people are not allowed to use their national passports. You should have applied for a Travel Document. But it is already done!
The link for more details: https://www.gov.uk/apply-home-office-travel-document

If your case if Home Office is going to revoke, it will be a claim to the immigration tribunal. Unfortunately, the outcome might not be the one you wish to hear, but you will need a solicitor to arrange a case . I would advise to do it now and find someone.
