I was so calm when i sent my naturalization application but today's passport office news has blown my lid off :evil: . I travel a lot for my job and at every "road works" where there is a ridiculous 50mph average speed camera, I see workmen sitting down, having coffee or one man digging and 3 watchi...

Could not resist the temptation to call HO.. :).. Called yesterday, connected immediately.. and was promptly informed that they are implementing a new software and they are not in a position to give out updates immediately.. They took my details and somebody from service desk called me today and in...

Congratulations to all who have received their approvals and are preparing for ceremonies to finish their journeys :D For the ones that are still waiting like myself, I have been looking at the spread sheet on the previous page and I guess there is a relation between when people receive their acknow...

Congratulations ps2012

I am so glad to hear that the approvals have started rolling in. I applied 2 days after you so, hoping my special envelope arrives soon, with the approval of course.

Take care man, enjoy the peace!!!

Hi fellows, hope everyone is happy and excited. Got a quick question, did a quick search but didn't find anything in particular. Its been a month since I applied for naturalization and now I want to move to a different address, literally 5 miles away from where I am now. Will the change of address i...

That's most likely the case pal...

I totally understand what you are saying! They are sneaky and if my NCS sent it by special delivery then they should have received it on the 3rd April! Oh well, it looks to be easier to send the money and have done!! Here's to waiting that little bit longer!!! Hey, who knows, you could be getting t...

Anyone else???? @Marie1981 : I submitted the application on the 4th of April but i was asked to pay 906£ as the date on which the home office r...

It's gone very quiet on here!!! Has anyone any updates at all? I am still waiting for my acknowledgement letter, although the money was cleared last Wednesday but since then there has been no sign of anything remotely resembling a letter in the post. I'm not very good at waiting! I have been waitin...

Hi Guys I have posted my application on 03/04/2014. However, fees has not been deducted yet. Should I contact them after the easter break or is that common? Best wishes. There is no need to contact them at this point, may be in a couple of weeks if the situation doesn't change. They don't have a ha...

"Penalty Charge Notice" is not a traffic offence. And as the poster above me said, if it goes through court then you have to inform them otherwise, pay the fine and do nothing, I am pretty sure that is the case.

Heads up people! I went to Croydon Council for my naturalization application and I was told that TOEFL ibt which i took for my ILR is no longer acceptable. I was shown an online statement on LSE website which read: PLEASE NOTE: Following concerns about the security of tests administered by ETS, UK ...

I don't mean to be rude but there are at least 2 guidance documents in plain sight on the homeoffice website that answer your question and even on the form where they ask for English Language proof of proficiency will answer your question in a heartbeat. well may be it is still rude when instrucito...

You are in the wrong forum mate, plz post in the correct category. FLR(M) is for visa extensions and not for citizenship.

My husband, being Pakistani, often tells me Pakistan would be the best place in the world to live (it is beautiful) if it wasn't for the society. I can't really comment so I only go by what he tells me, that is, immense corruption, hypocrisy and police beatings. My husband has both British and Paki...
