Dear All,
I am concerned about an issue. I moved home and changed my address. I have sent the HO my new address which was used to send me acknowledgement letters. However, the Self addressed envelope which accompanied the application still bears the old address. What do I do as I do not want them to send the documents to my old address or get confused after I have changed my address using their website.
Any suggestion will be appreciated please.
Gazilion.

Set up a redirect with the Royal Mail i.e. any post to your old address is automatically sent to your new address.

Hi,

I have not received the brown envelope for approval of the application so far. But today I have received an invitation letter from the council asking me to attend the citizenship ceremony.

Is the brown envelope lost in post then? Do I have to contact Home office about it?

Thanks.

Applied on 5 May n still waiting.....never anticipated that the waiting period would be sooo emotionally draining!

Is there anyone who is till waiting who applied on 12/13 may and received biometrics around 2/3/4/ July ?

Applied 09/05 – still waiting. It's very frustrating but little we can do about it other than wait.

Applied for my wife on May 8 via NCS, application received by HO on May 9. After the biometrics haven't heard anything yet!

hang on guys… we will hear from them very soon...

Application received by HO 15/05/15 and not heard anything since Biometrics 12/06/15

I have applied on 5th of May (Joint applications for 2). One of the biometric was done this month (19th Oct). So you are still in a better position. I'm sure you will get it soon.

Applied on 16th May through NCS done my biometric in June since then didn't heard from HO

Applied on 22 May, still waiting ...
Looks like something maybe wrong with my application, haven't heard anything back since biometrics.

I applied on the 28th of May, HO received on the 29th. Biometrics were done in June. I've seen people before me and after me get approved.

And I still haven't heard anything back. So I continue to wait patiently and let them get on with it. Everyone should just relax, take it easy and let them do their thing.
