Yeh you will be treated under old rules. They must have deducted the old fee( plz confirm) every time you call them you will get a different answer. You can try :D if you want. I applied on 1st April and my application through NCS was received on 2nd April. They have deducted the old fee and no biometric letter has been issued to me as well. So relax and enjoy the unavoidable.


All, just an update on this - a friend did apply on the 2nd of April and has received a biometric enrolment letter.

expresso12: Did he submit to NCS on the 2nd April? If so, his application would have reached HO after the bank holiday and that would explain new rules+fees being applied on his case. If he submitted earlier than 2nd April, then his application would have got to them on the 2nd and thus would have had to pay £906. I've read here and on the guidance notes that for naturalisation the date of application is the date when the authorities receive the application.
FYI. They have charged me £906 and the acknowledgement letter clearly states that the fee has been paid in full. If any senior member of others with similar is reading this post, please let us all know what your thoughts are.
Submitted through NCS on 2nd of April on the old form and fee of £906. And just to confirm, application date is always the date when the application was sent, not received. This has always been the case.

See page 40 which explains the "date of application". As suggested it is the date of postage or if post mark missing then receipt date - 1 day.

Hi, Nvijay.
you should call the HO first.
They sent my daughter's letter to the wrong address. We found it after the call and went to the neighbours to pick it up. It seems their computer automatically put the wrong house number. Than we call to the HO again, changed the address and only after a week we got the documents
Hi M2013,
I called HO, they are not ready to give any info, becaz of under six months rules, even though we both applied at the same time.

Regarding biometric enrolment for applicants around 1st-2nd April:
I have just called HO. Thankfully came across a kind and helpful person on the other side. He advised me that the bio rule has been implemented on and after the 6th of April. So any application made before that will likely not receive it, however I was advices to keep an eye just in case they decide to get it for any reason. I was also told that your application checks are being made on the background anyway so irrespective of bio enrolment. I will update if anything changes in the mean time. Thank you all for the input.

Thank you for this. I beg to disagree, I don't think it applies to naturalisation. If you check the guide AN (https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... r_2015.pdf)on page 21, it clearly states that "The date of application will be the date your form is received by the Home Office or the local British government representative as shown above." Again, please forgive me if I misinterpreted either of these guidance

Hi either you wait until you become British citizen to apply via 3 year root including atleast 1 year having ilr or let her spent a minimum 5 years in the country including atleast 1 year having ilr to apply via 5 year root.

If you become British and your wife has moved to FLR (M) before 6 April 2014 then your dont have to wait for 5 years. you can apply under 3 years rules under 287(a)(i)(d).
