Just rang HO, the friendly chap at the other end of the phone suggested, its awaiting to be picked up by a caseworker and its not been yet looked into.Ahmed80 wrote:One of the reasons for the delays could be the training the case workers had to go through prior to the new rules kicking in on the 6th of April.
I think the caseworkers are not segregated into fixed teams, so have to be aware of all the new immigration rules.
I could go on speculating on the reasons, but the best thing to do is to wait till we hear something back from the Home Office. we have waited enough to get to this stage anyways.
I'm prepared to wait, but my concern is that this is a collective issue, which is not related to specific cases. I mean, in this forum alone, the percentage of those whose applications is yet to be picked up is very near 100% This means, however busy they might be, at least they should be able to finish up 2 out of 10 cases every week, but we're not even hearing nada....lionking007 wrote:Just rang HO, the friendly chap at the other end of the phone suggested, its awaiting to be picked up by a caseworker and its not been yet looked into.Ahmed80 wrote:One of the reasons for the delays could be the training the case workers had to go through prior to the new rules kicking in on the 6th of April.

I guess, it depends what caseworker gets it and how quick (s)he is and make a descision. So i think there is no point until it gets picked up by the caseworker and then the checks etc... so all we can do is wait.....
How reliable is the info from Trustonline? I've done my checks and nothing came back from them.....I hope I'm not getting paranoid nowukpl wrote:no, they don't do any checks visible via Credit Reference Agencieslionking007 wrote:Do you know if they do a credit check,(I am sure they do)
firstly, to perform credit check you would need to give a permission
secondly, you don't apply for credit related product
thirdly, why would they be interested in your relationships with private (and often foreign) companies?
as for checking CCJs, court orders and fines, there is TrustOnline public database where anyone can search for and be searched by anyone without subject's permission http://www.trustonline.org.uk/

I wonder if this information (ie how many applications were received, reviewed, rejected/approved etc etc for each months starting January this year till April ) can be requested under Freedom of Information Actallta wrote: I'm prepared to wait, but my concern is that this is a collective issue, which is not related to specific cases.

As one of the civil servants myself, I have seen 100's and 1000's of redundancies accross all the government departments. I do not know of a single department that has been spared from the funding cuts.tintin wrote:Hello Guys, In my opinion we are unnecessarily getting overwhelmed with the credit checks and CCJ's. If we know that we are upto date with our bills and there are no outstanding claims, then whats the point of spending money on doing credit checks etc etc - why worry if we know everything is ok! lets not be paranoids and lets just wait patiently, thats all we can do.
My wife's application was sent by post on 29/03/2011 and reached HO on 30/03/2011. Credit card was debited on 06/04/2011. First the available money to spend on the credit card will get reduced by the amount taken by the HO before you directly see the amount taken away from the credit card. On 06/04/2011, we noticed the available amount to be spent got reduced by £780. On 08/04/2011 only it was directly mentioned that £780 was paid to the HO, dated 06/04/2011. So check the available amount in your credit card to be spent.lovelion2011 wrote: Well, I tried my best to send my application before the fee rise, it reached Home office on 04/04/2011, but still fees is not withdrawn from my credit card. Usually it is withdrawn within 7 days……………. I am wondering has any one experienced the same delay in fees withdrawal.

Thank you London2009UK for your reply.london2009uk wrote:Hi Anivip,
I was also in same dilemma as you about CCJ and Bad Credit although i have subscribed for experian which clearly said no CCJ or bad credit in my history.
I was tempted to check Trustonline by paying (£16) which i did and got confirmation that they have "no record"
Its my suggestion dont waste your money with trustonline as long your experian credit shows clear then it should be fine. I assume you dont have any doggy past.
Good luck with your naturalization application and i can understand your anxiety becoz i went through the same process in march 2011.
I live in West Midlands, the Ack letter that I received mentions North West as wellnax_72 wrote:In the acknowledgement letter, in the UK Border Agency address (top corner), it has been mentioned as 'North West Region' in the second line. I hope this may be different for those applying from different areas. I don't know whether this may have any effect on how long it takes to process the application depending on the amount of application from different areas.
