@AussiegoinNuts4it Fair enough, Home Office due to budget restraints suffering from lack of stuff and coping miserably to get everyone's naturalisation done. I'm waiting 13 months myself, big deal! It's not the end of the world! What you could actually whine about instead is when Australia decides ...

I just got off the phone with the Home office. It has been exactly 6 months since I applied (2 April) They said that they cannot give me any information, and that I should call back in 2 weeks if I have not heard anything. It is apparently taking 6-8months!! Shocking service. Got it! Emailed my MP ...

I hear you mate, two more days to 6 months for me.

Going to call first thing on Friday.

curious, have you been out of the country a lot in the last 5 year ( i have had quite a few absences and although ive never been away for longr than the allowed period i wonder if it takes them that long to check 5 years worth of weekends away! Depends on how you define lots. Yes I have traveled ar...

Let me tell explain you what lying is...If I know parents marriage date is 01/01/1900 and I deliberately wrote 02/02/1900 ..this is lying... where I don't k...

My husband applied mid june and done biometrics on 24th june so still waiting. but this is april thread so hardly relevant Yeah I just wondered if there were any BC apps pending from April or if all were complete - mostly to corroborate what I got from the solicitor. The 10 year route apps do appea...

sorry to hear you aren't approved yet. Normally i wouldn't stress as i know i will get it eventually but i never expected it to take so long and if i don't get it back in the next month i wont be able to get married in the Church of england :( Why don't you call them and explain the situation about...

Hi all, Im a June applicant that recently received approval. My application was through a solicitor and he had some interesting views that might be helpful. Essentially, as a couple of people have suggested, straightforward cases and those of BC spouse and 5 year (T1) route applicants tend to recei...

No, not yet.

My partner applied one week after me and has already been approved but I am still waiting.

Hi Tulip 'Better safe than sorry' I strongly believe in this and that's why my journey has been smooth and easy since I arrived in UK 6.3 years ago. If you ask others everyone will have a different point of view. I would never ever rely on check and send guys. I would rather do my own research. I'm...

I am also waiting. It is soo patehtic to wait. HO staff is so incompetent ! Taking hundreds in fees and not adhering to time frame.

Just look for any one who applied after 6th. As 6th Apr is the last day of pre-bio application. I beg to differ: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/changes-to-biometric-collection-categories Also, 6 April is Monday. New fees were also introduced on that day. All this leads me to believe that change...

In the past, they provided it without objections, as far as I remember. No they haven't. FOI request will most likely only be successful if you are asking for stats which have already been published in public domain. You can see the migration statistics currently available here - https://www.gov.uk...

Yes, only problem is my lettres -- and many others on this board -- took several days to arrive. For example, my biometrics letter was dated July 15th but arrived July 28th, just about the same elapsed time as on several other threads. Cost? I'd gladly pay another £10 or £20 and it wouldn't cost Ho...
