I thought I am the only person who were waiting since Feb 2014 but now you are in my boat to reach the destination.
Any way we can't do anything without waiting.

Hi Guy's
Today I have received a Email from MP second time which is the same as previous email however I want to share with all Feb applicant who were still waiting for their approval.
best wishes
babe khyber


Thank you for your e-mail.

It is often the case with naturalisation applications that some are dealt with in a relatively short space of time and other applications take considerably longer and this is due to the nature of the checks that have to be undertaken prior to a decision being made. I am afraid that there is nothing I can advise you in addition to my previous e-mail other than to say that if you have not received a decision by September then please let me know and I will contact the Home Office again on your behalf.

Yours sincerely

Jason Read, Senior Caseworker

Office of Paul Blomfield MP, Member of Parliament for Sheffield Central

The delay is now totally unreasonable and would suggest you contact them through your MP.

No news, nothing to say, very upset and disappointed.
Do they expect us, to contact them after exactly 6 months, just to find out that they might ask us to wait longer?
I got the feeling, that is going to be the case.
I will call them tomorrow.
Take care.
Thank you Man4uni, that you are still here with us. You have great heart x
Hope that we all will hear good news soon.

Hi All,

I know this wait is really painful!
Specially at this time when you lose a bit of hope and just wait for 6 months to be completed. :(

Hope you guys get those "famous" brown envelopes soon. Good Luck!

@Brightlight - Anytime! I wish I could be of more help :(

Hi Man4uni and all the friends waiting,

Last 3 weeks to go until it completed 6 months, I wonder how many people will get the answer.
And what will they say.

Anybody knows? Will it be normal post or signed for registered post?

I heard the passport application is also a very long waiting too.

I had this thread in my bookmarks when I was posting my updates back in Feb, just thought to check if everyone has got through but a bit disappointed that few of our friends are still waiting. My friend man4uni is doing a tremendous job and I am sure you guys will get through eventually, have patience, I know its difficult but I am sure it would be worth the wait!
Not all those who wander are lost...

Hi All,
I called this morning enquiring about my application coming up to 6 months waiting time in 2 weeks, what is the result and why they let me wait so long?

They said " they will get SOMEONE to actually have a look as it come up to 6 months "

Does it mean that
1. They do not have any case worker for me yet?
Because they can not give me the name.
2. They have not seen / have not considered my application at all. Basically just let the time past and let me wait for 6 month, it's not nice.

I do not understand why can not they call me and tell me why and what they want, if they need more document or anything.

I hope that it is not what I thought,, wait until 6 months to be told to wait for another 6 months..

Sad

It is really bad. They can not hide under the fact that 6 months is their standard procesisng time. When 90% of the people get it within a month and someone else wait for 6 months, he has every right to know what is different in his case, why he is not being treated at par with others.

Even if the answer is you are selected randomly for further verification checks, it is still an answer.

To me it is a clear discrimination (as long as you are not told a reason why your case is different), treating a select few differently to others can not be right but no individual can afford to knock the door of law for this!
