Applied 8th of May 2014 got approved 30th of April 2015....? No reason for delay given. To be honest I almost lost faith on the system and I was about to forget about all this and carry on with my everyday life. Overall this news didn't excite me anymore as it will have done 6-7 months ago. Also I lost my Vote again????
Anyway since day one I decided to stay in this country I learned to stay positive and good things always will come with the time.

Furthermore I wish you all best of luck and hopefully with good news very soon. Also I would like to thank everyone that have committed to share their experiences on this forum and try to help or inspire others. Thank you.
That's all from me.

Congratulations man.... Good atitude.. I wish
This waiting is over man.. It's so frustrating and
Stressful..!! Thanks for your words man.. All the best

Have you had that letter from ho about new character requirement and what did you reply for that letter.

As well did you overstay at all or your naturalisation was a straightforward case.

Thanks

Yes I received the letter about further enquiries and new character guidance in February. Yes I was an overstayer, but applied with 3 kids.

Congratulation man. I'm still Waiting for better days to come. I've been waiting since 18 August 2014. No new yet, I'm fed up already. H.O are forgot about me.

Hi everyone Still waiting. 14 May my wife applied and 21 May my application both are still waiting, I am not sure how the applications are dealt.. in my case I though if we apply differently they at least one of us will get it straight, but we both are unlucky and still waiting since 1 year...

felling very helpless, very uneasy feeling can't even put into words

I know your feelings my friend . It will be one year next month for me as well. Good luck to us all...

Still waiting.. now going to 13 months ... And when
I call them up I get the same answer all the time!
"Still on Going".. "Under consideration"
Has anybody had better luck than me lately?

Hi Arnizilla,

I'm in the same situation. I emailed further nationality enquiries and after a month they sent me a generic reply, the 3-6 months waiting letter, which I received 6 months ago! I emailed back saying this can't be right but still no response. I also complained and got another generic reply, they also say if you're not happy ask your MP to complain to the parliament on your behalf. I'll contact my MP next week as I'm busy just now.
Absolutely ridiculous, I honestly believe they haven't looked at my application yet and these are only generic replies to get them more time and keep you quite.

Hello everybody... !!!
Any more info on the naturalisation?
Anybody received the Brown envelop?
Any news??? Any development? I'm still waiting
Over 13 months now!!

Hi there,
My waiting is over 16 month and still waiting. Yesterday I have sent a recorded complaints to home
office. Now I am just confused for the new requirements about biometric enrolment. Does anyone know about that if I will be going to be do again. Let's hope for next month.
Best wishes

Congrats ... Your waiting and frustration is over..
Now be happy and enjoy !!!

Everytime I call I listen to the same lecture--its not a right....in the light of new nationality instruction on 14th december blu bluh...you cant argue with them....you cannot catch these people..the letters are drafted very carefully and reviewed by the lawyers before beign sent out...and it is the same generic letter that rest of the poeple on the boat receives.... only way is to involve your MP to expedite your case (in majority cases even that does not work)

Yeah man... Same deal with me.. Same answers
I dont know what to do no more.. I don't have
Other alternative but wait!!

That's quite a lengthy waiting period. Hope you get sorted soon. Biometric enrolment, I think, is for people who applied after it was introduced.

When I sent a few complaints their last response to me was something like if you are not happy ask your MP to complain to Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman on your behalf. I actually did write to the MP providing all details on my correspondences with the UKVI, however once I posted the letter I found the letter when I got back home lol
my last call to the Call centre, I said I want to speak to the caseworker she said you can't, so I said you told me to wait and I did my part but you are failing to do yours and all I get is generic responses. So I asked if she can pass a note to the caseworker, she said okay I'll tell them you phoned. I also said I'm afraid you leave me no choice but to take it to Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman.

I don't know if that helped or it was a coincidence. All the best guys I know it's a very frustrating process. I hope you all get responses very soon.
