Hey all, needed some advice regarding me and my wife's naturalisation application.
I recently received an email stating that our application wouldn't be processed within the 6 month period. I am really Dissappointed and frustrated as I thought me and my wife had pretty straight forward applications.
I'm a NHS Consultant. I was a doctor in training all these years and my wife was a dependent. I had a tier 2 General visa prior to my ILR. My ILR got approved within 24 hours. The only thing I can think of is I had a Traffic violation and they asked me to attend a course to avoid getting any points. As I understand you have to declare this in your application only if you have received any points on your license. But I Didn't. I did not disclose the same for my ILR application and it got approved. I am perplexed whether this could have resulted in the delay.
Can anyone guide how to communicate with home office regarding the same.
Thanks

The email you received is purely and advice that they are late in processing your application - a standard email received by many applicants. It is not an indication that there is an issue with your application - I do understand your concerns.
If you wish to take this further please review a guide from this forum:

Please do not send me private messages asking for advice.

Why the disappointment; some plans that a delay may distrupt?, its openly available info that it can take up to 6months or more and some get it faster.
It may have nothing to do with what you are thinking.

Thanks guys I will wait for further input from Home office. The disappointment was that I was hoping to travel to the US to see my family, now it seems difficult. as visa appointments for non British passports were very far fetched.

It is difficult to plan around citizenship approval timelines. Many people try their luck and some manage, but some applications take a bit longer. Hopefully you can amend your travel plans.
All advice comes from personal research and experience and should not be regarded as professional opinion.

When it comes to immigration and citizenship applications, it will put rest of mind if any plans for travel can be shelved till it is all sorted.
Even HO post such notes.

No mate, still nothing yet. I am in the process of SAR application, just to see if that helps with my application.

Hopefully won't be long, I received my detailed SAR on 3rd April, and nothing useful really.

Thanks a lot. The home office continues to keep its tradition of unpredictability.
