Hi Ya,
It's been more than 6 months that I've applied for naturalisation. Whenever I call them, they say it's with a case worker and still undergoing enquiries. Out of curiosity, what sort of enquiries take more than 6 months to complete. Please throw me some light on this.

Thanks.

how is it possible... such cases with home office are just scary... u shouldnt have to wait for 6 months to get naturalised.

thanks mate, not too worried as my record is clean my only worry is that the police couldnt locate the driver in the first month i dnt knw if they have been able to locate him now or not or maybe the driver has changed his adress or somethin,i was able to get him on phone 5months ago but since then till now havent been able to get him on phone so its abit weird isnt it...anyway i hope they consider my case as a minor offence and disregard it as it wasnt excess speeding he was doing 58mph in a 50mph zone...have you called council to confirm if they have gotten ur approval cert??

When I eventually call (After Four Tryers) the gentleman at the other end told me that my application had been concluded and a letter had been sent today 01/06/2011. I believe it is good news. I called my agency to take on extra shift to shorten my wait or else it will be one of the longest wait for a letter in my life. I will keep you all updated.

Don't worry. If you not the driver, should be ok. Welcome to the never ending waiting club

Hi

Did you send any fax message for the urgent need for your passports back?

My wife's naturalization application is with HO through postal application (reached HO on 30/03/2011). When she called yesterday she got the reply that still under consideration. She requested for her passport back as we need to travel in the last week of June. She was asked to send a fax to HO explaining the urgent reason why she needs the passport back. He noted down that my wife wants the passport back. But he said HO needs a fax message. Also he told if it is a planned trip, then in the first instance my wife should not have applied for the naturalisation as her passport is needed. If it is urgent travel on emergency then they need to receive a fax.

no I did not send any fax. only a telephone request. thay told me i have to fax them if passport isneeded really urgently. telephone request would take upto 10 working days. infact i got my passport within 3 working days ( theyused special delivery envelope i enclosed, as rerquested by me)
the guy who took my 'passport request' on phone had to email someone while i was on the phone.
i told them it is a unplanned travel for family wedding
