Hi zonkkk, I guess it depends on the circumstances or the caseworker.
In my case, he sent me an e-mail yesterday because he was missing a last info before approving the application. I replied this morning and half an hour later he replied back sending via e-mail the letter he was about to post confirming the successful outcome and details of the documents being returned to me.

Hi zonkkk, I applied for registration as BC using form UKM (born to British mother before 1983).
I live in Switzerland but in the form I asked to organise the ceremony in the Uk.
The case worker wrote saying that he was ready to approve my application but needed to know if I was sure I wanted my ceremony in the UK. He explained pros and cons and given the circumstances I decided for a ceremony abroad. Answered back next morning and about half hour later he replied with the official approval letter via e-mail. Same letter will accompany my documents which are in the process of being returned to me. :-)

Hi I just have a few quick questions, any help would be greatly appreciated. I am due to apply for my naturalisation application and have realised that the fees goes up on the 6th, now does the new fee of £1005 include the ceremony fee as well?

Also, in regards to the referees for the application, can I use my partner as one of my referees? does it matter that we live at the same address? Or shall we put his work address?

Thanks a lot.

Yes.

No. Please see page 20 of the AN form.

Hi

Thanks for your reply! Just wanted to clarify I am not including my boyfriend in the application as hes already a British citizen. He just lives with me and after reading what's on page 20 again, I am thinking I should be able to use him as it doesn't say anywhere you can't use anyone who lives at the same address as you?!

I wouldn't list your boyfriend as a referee, as he could easily be seen as someone closely related to you (as you are living at the same address, and thereby could be seen to be in a relationship akin to marriage when it comes to immigration). But that is my personal opinion. The same question appears to have been raised by others too...

Hi

Applied on 15th January and still waiting.......................... Really got fed up with this auto reply of 6 months from HO as people are getting their applications approved within few weeks. Is any one knows how to contact HO other then that usual 0300 number and get an update on the application.

I am in the same boat, applied on 29th of January 2015 and still waiting. You cant do much I am afraid just sit and wait.
I think you either get your application sorted and receive approval in under a month since you applied if not then wait for at least 6 months. This is how it is at the moment!!!!!!

Not really, If you check freedom of information abt application completion trend mostly get approved after 3 to 4 months from the time of application
