January 2015 - Naturalisation Application Timeline

Hi All, If anyone had recently requested the information under freedom of information Act 2000 abt the statistics of total number of application for january and approved from HO?

And if anyone got approved plz update?

Hi

Applied on 15th January and still waiting.......................... Really got fed up with this auto reply of 6 months from HO as people are getting their applications approved within few weeks. Is any one knows how to contact HO other then that usual 0300 number and get an update on the application.

I am in the same boat, applied on 29th of January 2015 and still waiting. You cant do much I am afraid just sit and wait.
I think you either get your application sorted and receive approval in under a month since you applied if not then wait for at least 6 months. This is how it is at the moment!!!!!!

Not really, If you check freedom of information abt application completion trend mostly get approved after 3 to 4 months from the time of application

I APPLIED THE 15 JANUARY 2015 AND STILL WAITING....

Not even 1 approval this week for January applicants.

I applied on 14th Jan and still waiting......GOD knows how long it would takes for them to do it, So just sit and waiting at the mom like everyone else. All I am hoping that it would comes within 6 months and not send me a letter saying it will need another 3 or 6 months.

I made my application first week of December 2014 and still waiting lol after home office received (on 10/03/2015) additional information such a letters and original passport they put me on hold up til now without any updates. keep calm and keep waiting

Hi Robbie!

I am filling out my UKM form and have also decided for a UK ceremony (I am resident in Germany).

What were the cons of having it in the UK?

I hope mine goes as fast as yours did! If it wasn't for the stupid courier from South Africa losing my mother's document envelope with my mother's original Naturalisation certificate it would have been submitted already. Sigh. Hope it's not a bad omen LOL!
