I think that some of the people in this forum like ' egoneo '

Are way too much rude, It is not anyone's responsibility or bounded to come and share their timeline with you. If you are trying to be over clever and talking about other people's timeline as FAKE and other crap, then you should get some life man and get your mule out of here.

You need to respect people here, I do not understand who is the admin of this forum and keeping a blind eye on such people bashing on others who has been successful in getting acceptance letters from HO.

So better for you next time , don't be over clever or you will get all that BASHING here.

And it is horrible to get such comments from an old member. LEARN TO RESPECT, this is something we get in childhood from our parents if you remember

Cheers.

Which post or member are you referring to as being rude, it is not clear from your post? You are welcome to pm me if you wish but there is a function button (an exclamation mark) on a post where you can report it if you feel it is inappropriate.

I believe theflare is referring to the post by egoneo on Aug 13 where shashank2361 is accused of putting up a f ake timeline.

That was a bit much I agree. It's not acceptable to accuse people of faking timelines unless there is strong evidence that this is indeed the case. It seems clear to me that shashank2361 was not doing this on purpose. And to be fair, shashank did later come back and explain which helped us conclude that it was a pre-bio application.

Having said this, I do think it's fair game to be a bit annoyed with users who post incorrect timelines and don't bother checking. Alot of us here are waiting for that elusive first post-biometric approval with baited breath and to have someone (and shashank was not the first of these) post a timeline that erroneously suggests that this has happened is highly irritating.

Of course, noone has to post timelines, but posting incorrect timelines helps noone.

I know as an American, I can go to the US Embassy and get another passport. I can't confirm this but have been told this by different people. I hope we all get speedy approvals....

I got a brown envelop today from Home office, It's not my approval but more document to support missing passport for a certain period of time.
I applied 17th of April via NCS. i don't understand why as this was checked by the council,but i've got it all covered and I'm sending document asap.

So seat back all, Home office are beginning to look into the last April applications

Yep. Many people applied before the rules changed , and before the prince increased. Hence why theres like a 3/4k hike in applications

This is encouraging

However, I think I have seen at least a dozen claims that a friend of somebody, or a client of some immigration lawyer, obtained a citizenship applying after 6 April, but I am yet to see a single confirmation with an actual timeline on this forum.

I will believe it when I see at least one plausible confirmation from a long-standing member.
