Someone applied in first week of march and got approval within 15 days while some are still waiting nearly 5 months. How they can justify it. I happen to be one of the lucky ones who applied the first week of March. I think that one has to fill out everything on the form. I filled the place of resi...

Thanks cs95tdg. Now I am thinking why my approval is taking too long. But that NCS lady checked the form and she said fine. I hope they wont refuse my application due to this reason :( Don't worry tulip11, I don't think it would be related to that you still didn't get the approval. I filled all my ...

Hi guys, Just had a sneaky look at how the April applicants doing and did not find any post with approval... Looks like the first 3 months of this year were the quickest.... just 1 applicant from April got approval so far. I saw that person timeline in general naturalisation timelines thread. If we...

Random question. Once granted citizenship, do you HAVE to get a British passport right away or at all? I'm not in the position to get one for a while. We literally scraped the barrel to just get citizenship sorted and paid for, so getting my British passport currently isn't a high priority. Not doi...
