Thank you for the response. However, I have changed the date of ceremony to end of next week (private). Anyway, I have another trip end of this month to Europe and I firmly believe I will not receive the British Passport before that. I guess I have to travel again in my Indian passport after ceremon...

Hello, I have tried the option 2 and then 2, it took me to applications which are more than 6 months old and person who answered the call refused to provide any update as my application is less than 6 months old. If the application is less than 6 months old, the only option you hear is automated mes...

I tried option 2 and then 1, I am getting automated message saying they are unable to give an update for applications submitted under 6 months time and the call will end now.

I don't know if others have the same experience.

I guess I have to just wait.

Hello,

Does anyone know phone number to call and check the progress of application for Naturalisation?

The phone number which I received with the acknowledgement letter only leads to automated message.

Thank for the help.

I have checked the guidelines myself but I am going to get the photo signed by the referee since NCS asked for it in the appointment confirmation letter.

Thanks for your reply.

In the letter I received from NCS it was mentioned that they will not be able to process the application unless photo is signed by the referees.

I have 2 questions regarding the referees. Applying based on marriage. My friend is a qualified accountant who knows me personally for more than 3 years, can I make him one of the referee? The photograph with the application, does it need to be signed by both the referees or just by one referee. Ple...

Thank you very much for your reply. I will have to travel within few weeks of submitting the application which I believe shouldn't be a problem as I will have my passport with me.

A big sense of relief that I will not end up without my passport and travel is essential for my work.

Hello All, I am planning to use the NCS service for submitting my application for Naturalisation.
