Hi Sonnyboy8011, no I have never been to court for this but back in 2008 they questioned me for this when I applied for my student visa but they didn't have proof so they gave me the visa, the school is no more in existence so I can't contact them to give me sch dates for that year and the job I did at that time they don't have the rotas so only thing left is to contact solicitors another expense for me.

Hi lcj,

Could you tell me as to who questioned you and whn- was it? Was it when you tried you extend your visa? are you currently self employed or an employee?

hi sivakt
Its been a very long wait for u. hope this will be over for u soon with positive outcome.

1. Can u please tell that which route did u apply through?
2. Did u have any criminal convictions/driving offences or any irregular immigration history etc?
3. Anything u can think off which may cause this delay to ur application?

probably this might help others to understand why these delays r heppening.
ur response will be much appreciated.

Dear Friends

Finally by the grace of Allah I have receive the brown envelop along with the Ceremony invitation for me and my wife (joint application)

it was a long wait almost 10 months!!!

HSMP tier 1 general
Applied on 19th May 2014
Approval receive on 12th March 2015 dated 8th March 2015
Date of ceremony 17th March 2015.

PS: I would recommend writing to the home office and their complain department, I have had no movement until I did this in first week of Feb although I got the same boring reply like others but it also gives you an option to review the case after a month from their reply of your complain on delay/poor service.

great forum

Good luck everybody your letter will arrive soon..

Hi everyone ... I applied 26/May/2014 and still waiting. Got a letter in post a month ago saying that I need to wait another 3-6 months, same letter that many of you have received. I was wondering if we can apply for a travel document while waiting for the citizenship approval?
Good luck to all of us

Hi Siva

Best of luck for you,

I am an Indian and mine is straight forward, in my opinion any type enquiry might take up to six months, over six months is just not acceptable.

I think some files are stuck somewhere which are not moving at all, hopefully they might move quick... Best of luck for all...

sounds like ur application is being dealt with and is at final stage of decision being made, hopefully that something will be a decision and not a further delay letter and u will get an aproval in 2 weeks. Keep in mind if HO is gona take 2 weeks then royal mail will take another week to deliver ur brown envelope so may b altogether 3 weeks.

If u r ok in telling then
was ur case straight forward?
Did u have any convictions, PCNs, Points etc?
Which route did u use for ur naturalisation?
Anything u can think of which can cause this long delay?

plz keep the forum updated. best of luck
