How long to get BC?!

I'm about to apply for BC soon, just wondering how long should I expect to wait before to make phone calls and chase home office!!

I have hold PR for 12 months if that make any difference in the process ( slower or faster ). Thanks guys.

it can take between 4 weeks and 6 months. the average time generally is about 6/7 weeks till you get the letter of approval and then it depends on availability of the council on how soon you can attend a ceremony to receive your certificate.

no point chasing home office, they wont tell you status of application if it is before 6 months after application.

Clear point mate, just to confirm, I have PR doesn't make no difference does it?
I will give it 6 months then. Thank you.

everyone needs PR or ILR to apply for citizenship so it makes no difference.

i think OP wanted to say under EEA LAW he can apply for BC without PR but having PR certificate make it more simple
