My LiUK test cert took 2 weeks to arrive.

Regarding NCS , they will photocopy everything and return you back all the certs. That's what is actually the purpose of NCS to verify your documents and forward everything to UK immigration dept
I have my ILR since march 2013, previously based on HSMP+Tier1 ext. All views are my own, am not a professional on immigration matters.

@easylion - just wanted to make sure I understood your post correctly:

You applied for citizenship on the 2nd of May and that you got your "app" (Approval?) letter TODAY - i.e. in 8 calendar days??! The second part of your post refers to your desire to pursue "due" (dual?) passports, correct?

Is this spam or a new world record for the Home Office?

It's probably the acknowledgement he's referring to...

It's probably the acknowledgement he's referring. to... Thanks, that's correct and dual nationalities as UK pp is easier to travel but I love where I am from. good luck to you guys all and hope everyone takes better and more advantage if new citizen to make better place and better life for where is home.... there isn't any unlimited sources if people keep using rather than working on it. most you guys here are great and wish your choice to be someone doesn't make immigration became bad pictures. I am very relax with my application, I didn't intend to do it before even thought I could be able to. just relax and you will get there. One thing I really ask when I know there are many people require lots from public help without helping themselves.... but also there are many disable people who are not be able to hear, to see and smell... but try very hard and do lots.... if we can, do it.... talk to few people come over here over 10 years (got uk passport)) but never worked :( very sad ....
