I posted my son application for brtitish citizenship on MN1 form under section 1(3)

Type: Postal
Date Posted : 05/04/2011
Date recieved by HO: 06/04/2011
Date Payment deducted on Credit card: 15/04/2011
Acknowledgement Letter Rec'd: 21/04/2011 ( dated 15/04/2011)
Date of approval: 12 May 2011- (Rec'd on 14/05/2011)

A Letter was attached from ND stating that my son's application has been sucessful and a registeration certificate of british citizenship has been posted seprately.

Documents attached
1-Son Birth certificate
2-Son Passport
3-Father passport with ILR

My son was born in the UK before i recieved ILR on long residency basis. So Section 1(3) of British Nationality Act 1981 applies.

IT basically took ND exact 5 weeks to process this application.

Good luck to everyone else

Next stop is my son's british passport!!!

ASA Sheryar
Congratulations!
Just a quick question, With MN form for children our account has filled in as refree. Do you think it could be a problem? as refree should be dealing with kids as per MN guidance?
Regards

I was not eager to get result earlier. Since a friend of mine who applied after me has got everything back has made me desperate, negative thinking, frustated & impetient!
Could anyone give some tips to co-op with this waiting time!!!

- Have a days remaining calender with 3 months target
- Create a bet with your friend and see who wins

One each every day of the next week hopefully. Will get us out of our misery. I need to book my tickets to LA and the airlines say, you will have to travel on the same passport you book your ticket. That's the rule.

And me... I've also been waiting since 17th March

Ness · Post by **Ness** » Sun May 15, 2011 9:38 pm

Oh yay!!! The mid-March applicants are getting their approvals now

Woohoo, hopefully there's only another week or two for me to wait now.

Congratulations to those approved already, and commiserations to those of you who, like me, are still waiting. Fingers crossed for news for us soon, huh? I would love to go on holiday this year with a red passport!!

I remember you mentioning this in one of your earlier posts. I have already given my Indian passport details for my summer holiday so even If I were to get me approval this month I will delay the ceremony till Mid-July so I can travel on my Indian passport without breaking any rules

(PS: approval does not equal to British Citizenship; Ceremony + Naturalisation certificate equals to British Citizenship)

I know VSAndroid, its race against time. I do have a 10 yr B1 / B2 US visa on my current passport, its just that when entering back in the UK with the British Passport I will atleast not have to wait in a long queue for hours. For a someone like me who makes about 7 to 8 trips in a year, the british Passport is a very handy. No hassle for any visas etc...

I am trying to resist to call HO today & tomorrow so just keeping myself as busy as possible. However these days its the heart that is rulling the brain and not the other way around.

I just went to the NCS today and the man who dealt with my application said that they had been seeing applications approved within 4-6 weeks. I mentioned hearing about it slowing down a bit and he said that he hadn't really seen that. So who knows, but all fingers crossed that he's right! Now the wait begins...

sid79 · Post by **sid79** » Mon May 16, 2011 10:43 am

Just called HO and they said the case is still under consideration, I called around 10 days ago they said the case has been picked up by the case worker on 28th April, its been three weeks now I am really frusrated and bit worried now.

my case was NCS and received HO on 3rd March .... Has anyone got their approval who applied around the same time

To be honest the waiting is really killing me and I pray I do not get rejected because that would just destroy me.
