more than 6 months Waiting for naturalization decision

Post by Hafa25 » Sun Jun 23, 2019 11:27 am

Hi everybody,
I have applied for citizenship for me and my child since December 2018 and I have not yet received the decision. every time I send an email to ask inquiry about my application, I get the same this reply :

“As I am sure you are aware, naturalisation is not an automatic process and we have to make a number of enquires before we can reach a decision on whether to grant citizenship.

One of the requirements for naturalisation, set out in nationality law, concerns good character. Good character is not further defined in nationality law, and a fairly broad view has to be taken when judging whether this requirement has been satisfied. ................................................

As soon as all of the enquiries have been completed decision will be taken on your application and we will inform you of the decision immediately.”

My wife applied around a month later and within six weeks her application was granted.
I don’t have any criminal record in the past or present, I do not know why this delay?!
any one has the same experience?

Hi Hafa
I have similar situation but have not heard anything from HO yet. I applied on 8th January 2019 and attended bio-metric appointment on 21 January. No response after that.
Just sent an email to HO, lets see what they have to say about it.

I sent emails several times, but unfortunately I didn’t receive any response
