I wonder what links us all together to cause a delay ?

Is it where we come from?

Type of application?

My application was a spouse of BC. No convictions, no overstays whatsoever!

My husband is the same criteria as you, however he has been waiting since middle of January. It appears its hit and miss who gets processed.

Would love to know who has been waiting since January and before January.

We have members of the February club.

Maybe you should start a January club to gauge levels workingmama?

I'm spouse of a BC too. From the looks of things, it appears that applications for naturalisation as a spouse of a BC takes longer than other categories...

One reason why my application might be taking so long is that I have been living in UK for over 12 years, but I've only been a legal adult for 1.5 years! Surely not much to 'check'?

Me too guys! I applied on the 22/02 and still waiting! I had issues as I lost my debit card right after application and had to pay over the phone on the 13/03. Wonder if that would account for my delay! I know someone though who had the same issue and applied and paid a week after mine, but he had his approval 2 weeks ago! So frustrating at times!
I have told myself that maybe some staff member work part time and it depends who picks up your application as if it is the part time one then it will take them longer to do the process! Just an idea really!
Good luck everyone and let us keep each other updated and support each other!

Hi All,

Please add me in the list.

I applied on 19th Feb and sadly no update yet.

Not sure what Home Office is doing and why they are taking ages?

Thanks,

Hiya

When I called HO a while ago I was asked if the country I came from had national service, when I said it did the call centre advisor said that that can add some time onto processing. No idea why???

I'm from Iran, any other Jan or feb club members from a similar nationality or part of the world?
