Update

Eligibility criteria: Spouse of BC (previously unmarried partner visa and ILR since Oct 14)
Language criteria met : Life in the UK + UK degree
Current nationality: Indian
Method of application: NCS - Benfleet
Date of application: 10/03/2015
Payment method: debit card
Date of receipt by UKBA: didn't check
Date of acknowledgment: Received on 25/03/2015
Date of debit or clearance of fees: 23/03/2015

Approval letter was received in my maiden name even though the marriage certificate was provided and it was made clear on the application. (Maybe because my Indian passport is still in my maiden name?) Need to look into how this affects my British passport application.

Thanks.
Little issue with place of birth. Instead of Town, they have mentioned state! Now I am wondering if this could be an issue?

Enjoy :) Private ceremonies are relatively easier to get it seems, because many opt for free ceremony, but out of curiosity, is yours private?
