HO has got a big back log to complete first. I applied in October 2013 and my fee was taken on 2nd Jan. you can imagine how much time they are taking.

you cann't even track your application because you don't have any tracking number. best you can do is to call UKBA and tell them your d.o.b probably they can track it through it.

Hi

Is anyone this forum facing same issue. I believe my application approved by home office and I have received ceremony letter from council on 18/01/2014 but I still not received approval letter from Home office. I have to take approval letter with me for ceremony otherwise I can't attend. when I contact my council they told me to contact Home office and when I trying to contact by phone HO they don't answer and asking to send email. I sent email no reply yet. Please advise me what I have to do next and which number I can contact HO.

Thanks

How can i check if they received my application..?

Guysss i need help.... pllllllllllllllllllllllllllsssssssssss




NCS only check to see all application os filled and the relevat questions answered and all the documents are with the application they then copy the original and stamp them to say they have been certified as originals and the correct fee paid to them and the Home Office it syour responability to make sure that eachquestions answer you understand and answer it correctley, NCS can not say your farther name is Fred or Barney thats yourr answer what you have to put down. it only take 10 mnutes to check the questions and the answers, and all this head ace will not happen. good luck

if you are applying for you naturalistion certificate then best to send the same certificate that you sent to apply for you ILR, i did my wifes and all she had was the ESOL Entry level 1 which she used for both the ILR and the naturalition (£874 + £50 wolverhampton Natulization Checking Service) then applyed for her british passport which they interviewed her in birmingham as it was her 1st british passport. best to book apointment with NCS inadvance and paythe payment by phone this will secure you checking date and all the documet you should take with you. its best to pay the extra for checking beacuse its not small amount fee you are paying and it takes the stress away.
