I haven't requested any statistics. However, I called them to understand why some applications were processed much quicker. I was advised all naturalisation applications are subject to enquiries and these enquiries are made by certain agencies on Home Office's behalf. Now what I fail to understand is that what enquiries are they making? They have all the immigration history and details so checking with HMRC or any other local agency shouldn't take that long right? Also, for people like me who have obtained ILR through Tier 2 or Tier 1, what enquiries are they making now which they wouldn't have made during extensions or ILR? Any idea anybody?

Response from HO As follws.
This has been assigned to a caseworker (case ref 35253). We will aim to send you a full response by 01/06/2015 which is twenty working days from the date we received your request. I guess we will have to wait?

I see no updates on Jan 2015 applications these days. My application was received on 27th Jan and I've been waiting ever since. I understand their service standard is 6 months but when I saw quite a few people getting quick approvals including one of my colleagues, I called them and they advised that enquiries on my application haven't been completed yet. I really don't understand what enquires they make and what's taking so long.

Hopefully one day the long awaited brown envelope will arrive.
