Alright, that means I will need to take the B1 test then which I tried to avoid but I guess it's better to and £150 than risk losing over £1000. And is it really 10-12days?

What will happen if HO has sent our approval letter out and it has been lost in post. The is no other way we can find about it till we receive rejection letter from HO for failure to book our ceremony within 21 days from the approval date. Your NCS will eventually notify you too. So thats two diffe...

I called the council like it said in the approval letter. They looked me up and already knew I had been approved. They gave me a date. Later, I got an email from them with an attached PDF letter confirming the date and time. This is NCS Gloucestershire. Yours might work different.

Hello Everyone, I've got the greatest news! I opened my post box today (Sunday) to find the 2nd class brown envelope! I had checked my post box on Saturday around 12:15pm thinking the postman must have been and there was no letter then. I only checked today as an afterthought on my way to the mall ...

When did you apply? If you applied after April 6, biometrics is a requirement.

So its mean that from 4 month even they even look our case ??? Amritsar, try to relax. We're all waiting. Someone who applied on the 17th of April did get a request for more info, so it sounds like they are looking at our cases. And there were just approvals from people whose applications were rece...

KM15 wrote:Sorry if this has already been mentioned but does anyone know roughly how many applicants they receive a day or month on average?

According to an FOI request, they received this many applications in Jan, Feb, March of this year:

Jan - 7475
Feb - 8440
Mar - 11710

Would appreciate getting their timeline. We had a claim of a late April approval before which turned out to be a mistake when it was double-checked.

I have the same time line. No news after the fee deduction and acknowledgment. And have not seen any approval for April applicants In the past few days, there have been approvals for late March applicants - one from March 27 I believe. So April approvals feel tantalisingly close! But no, no approva...

So from that FOI request, which can only be right, there is 82% cases outstanding!!! God bless those March applicants - Here is a by month breakdown Month - Total Application - Approved - Pending - % Approved Jan - 7475 - 4885 - 2590 - 65% Feb - 8440 - 4810 - 3630 - 43% Mar - 11710 - 2145 - 9565 - ...

Got this from the March 2015 thread where someone linked to a FOI request: Month/Applications Processed/Pending/Total Jan-15 /4,885 /2,590 /7,470 Feb-15 /4,810 /3,630 /8,440 Mar-15 /2,145 /9,565 /11,715 Total: /11,840 /15,785 /27,625 Turning that into percentages: JAN: 65% processed FEB: 57% process...

Nobody can tell you that because nobody (on this board) who has had to submit biometrics has yet gotten approval.

Though this might be of interest to all April folks: The March people have put all their stats into a spreadsheet. Here it is: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Aa41XKNlNoZxZdovMZMm-B5BAMoSrU9gZiWu8SpQxaY/edit#gid=1318850179 For reference, here's a link to the April spreadsheet: https://goo.gl...

Unfortunately, we have reached the end of May. Today is June 2 and there has not been a single April approval.
I'm really hoping we will start seeing some in the next week.

I applied for naturalization on 31st March 2015 along with my spouse and two children via NCS in Hatfield. I received acknowledgment letter somewhere around mid of April 2015.
