Hi All It's been 5 months for my sister applied for ILR as our father is Italian and she's been here for enough time ( 5 years). Her solicitor made the application and everything was done neatly. The question is how long normally one should expect to be invited for Biometrics? Is there a chance of b...

I think that is part of the problem - when people mailing them multiple times - their inbox must be bursting of duplicate emails and it must be a nightmare to sort through ... I emailed them twice! Simply the problem is not that,there has not been ANY letter of confirmation etc ,we do not even have...

Hello there My wife applied for her nationalization on 19th May 2015 using NCS service.The payment took more than a month to be deducted from her account, No acknowledgement letter no biometric,nothing so far. Called home-office couple of times and they finally returned my call saying I should not b...

Dear All Please I need an urgent answer. I had my Citizenship ceremony today, received the certificate too. My wife has got her Check-in service appointment tomorrow to apply for her Naturalisation and sending out her documents via 3 years rule. Till moments ago, I was under impression that the mome...

Hello All

Any update from December applicants? Applied on 10th December as a Tier1 General,5 years+1 year ILR, no news so far,it is roughly 5 months now

Applied 10 December, Tier 1 General, No news yet, It is absolutely unfair why some get their answer in 3 weeks and some not even in 6 months period.

Hi All

Reading through September applications, I noticed that allegedly it is taking longer (on average ) to have a news,say many receive their approval not even after 6 months has passed.

Applied 10 December as a Tier 1 + 1 Yeas ILR, anybody here in the same boat? It is absolutely frustrating...

Hello All

Applied on 10th December, and still no news, reading August timeline,I wouldn't be surprised if it will take another good 3 months? anybody in the same boat?

Hello All I applied on 10th December,fees deducted a week later and confirmation letter received in 9 days.NO NEWS so far, it is extremely frustrating,I am scared in a way.I had a simple caution 3.5 years ago, does it mean they purposely make the process longer just on the basis I am not good enough...

Congratulations slough_Boy

Please kindly let us know what number did you use?

You are right, it is very frustration indeed. Of'course they are not realy very organised.Case workers are different from one another and they work with different speeds.Also,they randomly do some more check,so it is a matter of chance too.I am getting stressed myself as it's been 2 months and a hal...

thank you sir:)

Thank you, but another side of the story is will there be any argument of my indefenite to be deemed as served on 11th not 10th? my indefenite is dated for 10th, dosen't it mean i received it on say 12th or 13th?
hope it makes sense to you?
Best,
Brad

Dear all My indefenite leave to remain via Tier 1 is dated 10/12/2013. i booked my appointment with NCS on 10 th December 2014. seems a bit ticky, will i be fine in terms of meeting the requirement for one year indefenite elapsed time or the date of indefenite is when it is deemed to be served/ rece...

Hello there I will apply for my British Citizenship in a month time.Allegedly the process time will take up to 6 months,usually far earlier than that. the question is,first of all,do I have to send my original Iranian passport and Indefinite Leave to Remain Biometric card and will they keep it? also...

Dear fellas I am about to make an application for British Citizenship. I have already submitted my life in the UK test pass result to Home Office when I applied for Indefenite Leave to Remain under Tier 1 visa on 15th December 2013.I understood that I have to prove my knowledge of English language t...

thanks a cosmos sir
all the best
Brad:)

Thanks Char
my concern is she and I entered as Tier 1, she did not come as Spouse Visa but Tier1 partner? does it make any difference?
thanks again

thank you,but will it be the same case for us as we both entered as TIER 1 Visa, extended, received IRL, and now applying for naturalisation?
some clarification is HIGHLY appreciated please

best,
brad
