today i have sent a fax, and i am planing to write a complaint any suggestion???? My feeling is, like I said before, it seems your details closely match of an undesired person, and probably that led to such a long wait for naturalisation approval. Now HMPO must have picked up the same thing, but I ...

Still waiting for the interview letter, Would it be an issue if I called even though its just been 2 weeks since my application was sent and supporting documents have not been returned?? it is 5 weeks in here still waiting no doc returned no interview letter sent why dont you contact them mate?

Ayyubi72 yes they did i thought that is it!!!! contacted my countersignature and he confirmed he didn't heard from them call them again and they said: IDENTITY CHECK in pr...

Your naturalisation took 2 years, and now something has flagged up in your passport application too. I suspect its some...

Thank you for your comments user - samkma. Looks like this place has a lot of trolls who have no other job! Seems bit scary - I WILL NOT BE POSTING OR VISITING this forum anymore! I have coming to this forum for last 7 years to look for help and was much better then, now trolls live and rule here! ...

I think it would be wiser for the Home Office to set-up an online tracking system which shows the progress of an application. Given the cost of applications and the relatively short period it takes to make a decision (an hour or two for a straight forward application) I can see why people ask every...

Don’t book any flights just yet your passport might take another 23mths… On a more serious note congrats and well done! You should be knighted and awarded the key of the city in Bournemouth for extreme patience with UKBA. :) SERIOUSLY I WILL NEVER BE SURPRISE IF IT TOOK 2 YEARS AGAIN HAVE A GOOD DAY

Congratulations Blackhole. You have waited for a long time but I am happy :D :D that finally you got your approval. We applied in the same month (Nov 2011). I have no words for the anguish you have undergone. You deserve a holiday into any sunshine state to relax after this. Best luck in your futur...

Lately, I have noticed those applying for naturalisation have become unbelievably impatient. Habitual weekly/ bi-weekly emails to UKBA ( despite clear proof no action is taken to provide a response ), discussion of wasting MP's time to complain despite not reaching 6 months, incessant worry about p...
