tulip11 you been very supportive i wish we could have someone like you in our August forum as it will be long journey and wait not started they received my application on 07/08/15.I was thinking when i will apply for my Naturalization i will forget it for six month but it seem impossible even it's not week yet :)

tulip11 i want to import you to August forum :lol: as March applicants are almost finished might be one more week and all March applicant will get their approval.

Enjoy ur freedom guys

Regards
Hi Nasir

Thats really so nice of you. Thank you very much. I hope and pray that those who submitted applications whatever the month would be, may their process goes out smoothly and will receive good news at end insha Allah.

Its all about luck as well. Someone receive it in few weeks , some receives after months. All one has to do is to wait calmly. This is wait of nerves. I know we all are humans and its human nature that we get fed up so easily , but before 6 months time period we cant do anything. We can just pray and wait.

All the best to you and rest of applicants who already submitted their applications and to the future applicants as well :)

I hope those who are still waiting for the elusive brown envelop get it soon (and it looks promising given quite a few of us are receiving approvals)!

Now, the next challenge for me is to figure out whether the Passport Office would change my BNO to BC using its Premium Service!

Hi Tulip,

As you being the most active and helpful member on this forum, could you please help me with my query about section 1.26 of the AN form.

What should we write in the following columns:
Passed - Grade 5, CEFR B1.1 before April 2015

Title of qualification:
Level of qualification:
Date of award: is it the date of the test?
Award reference number: where to find this?

Also, what do I fill in details of employment, if the applicant is currently unemployed; however, worked in the past (did not return to work after maternity leave).

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
