Someone applied in first week of march and got approval within 15 days while some are still waiting nearly 5 months. How they can justify it.

I happen to be one of the lucky ones who applied the first week of March. I think that one has to fill out everything on the form. I filled the place of residency in the last 10 years help. I had not been out of the UK for more than 30 days in the last 3 years. Here is my timeline. Good luck to all my March applicant. I do check in on your progress. I must say I was granted my naturalization in 3 weeks.

I have already received my British Passport but I still got ILR BRP card. You can still use it to enter UK with foreign passport.

I don't think so as I applied on 5 years residency and still waiting. It's 5 month on Monday! I don't care if few people say stuff but what's wrong with first 2 week of March applicants?! It's so unfair that even April applicants getting their approvals and we are still waiting.

Hi I can understand your frustration, i think it depends on the case workers really.

Ironmaiden you are so right. This made me think whether all applications of this period have been handed over to one case worker or what ?

Nope, that's not true. I have just read April 2015 forums and even they complained only 1 person has got approval! So i think they have a huge backlog and i hope they get to March soon ;-)

The wait is killing. Its a shame that HO is charging huge amount of fees and taking so long to make a decision on applications. I am only worried that If they take more than 6 months then what will happen? I pray to ALLAH and hope that the decision comes within 6 months. One of my friend who applied as a British Spouse got his approval after 8 months. He applied in july 2014 and recieved his approval in march 2015. Hopefully we will recieve within 6 months IN SHA ALLAH.
