Congratulations mate now wait is on for approval

Most of you talking about long waiting and only made your Naturalisation applications in March. I am waiting for my approval since 4th of December 2014 some other people is waiting since August 2014. So my advice would be enjoy the sun and stop thinking about the brown envelopes it can take longer then 6 months to receive them Good luck to all of you

I agree.. there is no point counting the days and trying to guess when you'll get your result. Maybe you get lucky and get it in 3-4 weeks, or maybe you don't get lucky and have to wait 6-12 months. Either way there is little benefit to worrying.

Thank you dani2014. Yes you're right now our next step is getting acknowledgement!!!!

My life in the uk test. I come from Rhodesia.

Hello Hester,

What did you submit as a proof for english language?? I sent Life in the UK test + Masters Degree from UK.
If you have sent the relevant docs and not sure what happened then most likely they have misplaced your docs or check you might have forgotten to send them with your application and they are still lying in your pile of paperwork at home.
I hope it gets sorted for u asap. Try sending them again if u have them...Also it won't get refused as if it were the case then they would have sent all the docs back and told u to reapply but as they have asked you to provide the relevant docs, just send them again and it should resolve the matter for you.
Good Luck!

So wot u provide them as a proof of english qualification when u applied ?

I think they require 2 pieces of evidence, perhaps you may have to send another proof of English Language, unless you received ILR on or after 28 October 2013, I think..

Unfortunately, Rhodesia doesn't seem to be on the list of countries considered to be majority English speaking. Have you got anything else you could send? Did you use your Life in the UK test to gain ILR before 28 October 2013?

Yes I did.

Hestervanderpoll if you Google nearest test centre to take B1 English language test you should get date within week and if you pass they will give you pass slip then send that off to Ho. Hope it helps

As has been suggested by the previous poster, first check whether you were granted ILR prior to Oct 28th 2013. If you were then you will need to meet the KoL requirement detailed below unless you are exempt due to any of the reasons that have been stated. Check to see if you already have any qualification (even a degree that appears on the PBS) that's listed as acceptable under the site below.

Oops, I'm sorry, it's on or after 28 October 2013!

hester - if your ILR was on or after 28 October 2013, then you have to "tick" the box on the application form. Do you recall doing that?
