October 2014 - Naturalisation Application Timeline

As long a they have taken the payment, I wouldn't worry about it - it means that the whole process has started.

[quote="Kris1982"]First of all Congratulations to all who is already on the way to ceremony or passport. Follow this forum for some time. Just wonder, how long time does it take to receive an acknowledgement letter. I applied on29th October 2014, received by Homeoffice on 30/10/2014 (special delivery, Post), charged on 14/11/2014 and still no any response. No email, no letter. I am EEA citizen, so possibly it will take a bit longer. Does anybody received an approval without acknowledgement letter from Homeoffice?[/quote]



Hi.
I am a EEA citizen and they had already started working on my case as thry asked more papers. I do not think it would take longer than usual.
If I were you I would call HO to ask whats happening!

Guys can you tell me the number so that i will call them and ask for my application status?

0300 123 2253
Option 121

is they are going to provide me the status as its only a month old application?

I think they will just tell you that your application is under consideration. But at least you would be sure it is with thrm. Or they dont ask more papers or approval is done just lost in post, etc.

The home office call centre options say if it has passed more than 6 months,…so i disconnected and wait time is 8 minutes..

Its fine. Yes, I know it says that one but still go to option 121
I followed the machine then the guy said to go back and choose that option.
Its crazy then why the machine says different

talking with the call centre lady and she told me that its processed and i can get the decision any time from now till 6 months, she told that she is not allowed to tell more than this.

Called them too but they say its still under consideration

Don't worry mate you will get the decision soon as the lady with whom i had talked was nice lady but didn't told much but she just told that its processed and you can get the decision any time from now till 6 months… i don't know what to understand from her. she told she is not allowed to tell more than this.

I checked my todays post. No letter from Homeoffice...

As they asked more papers from me, I hoped as soon as they got it they would finish my case
Anyway its fine

Guys,

I just heard that for a partner of a British citizen needs 5 years now not only 3. Has anyone heard this too?

That rule is for ILR not for citizenship. Although it will effect the time for citizenship application too but if someone already has ILR, they can still apply after 3 years.

Could you please shed more light on what papers they asked for? Which address you had to send it to?

Many thanks,

I have been on maternity leave since 1 March 2014 as I gave birth to my 2nd boy. I forgot to send my maternity paper so they asked what I have been doing since March
Plus as I sent my application on 15th October. They received it on 16th and they noticed that on 16th Oct 2009 I was not in Uk as I was abroad so they asked me to redate and resign the form which I did by 21/11/2014

called the HomeOffice call centre yesterday, the guy told your application in IN - PROGRESS...

Still waiting as well, called HO today and my application is still "under consideration". Nothing I can do but wait I guess

Unfortunately they say this when they have not touched the application too. So please do not raise your hope up as it means nothing. Sorry!
