Quick update. Been in contact with the Home Office and I think after persistant calling they have decided to leave a note for the case worker. Advised that the case worker will be in contact to let me know if there are any issues or a rough idea on what stage the application is in. I submitted my ap...

I made the mistake of calling the so-called 'help'-line again today... It has now been 5 months and 2 days since I sent my application via NCS (they received it on 3 June). Mistake because, once more, they have been completely unhelpful. I have now noticed that the options on the phone-line seem to...

Hi. I applied through the NCS on the 5th December 2013 (ILR + spouse of British citizen, I spent 3 years in the UK). The NCS guy told me that my TOEiC was accepted by the HO after he checked with them so I submitted it. Acknowledgement received in January then in march I received a letter saying th...

It seems HO has a standard answer. I haven't heard from anybody who was told that the application was completed. Any thoughts on the call representatives ? Last time I called I asked if they can see if the decision of the application and they replied ' yes and we can see when the brown envelope has...

If it has been 6 months or more then that is unacceptable. I have had a brief look and found this response from a similar case in where you are able to request the status of your application.

Re: Naturalisation application processing timelines (only) by Rahel1984 » Tue Oct 28, 2014 12:13 pm Looks like HO started august application now. But I'm still waiting for mine from 8th of July.

Still no news on my application. Phoned the Home Office again and got the same response saying ‘still in process’. I was advised to wait as I have another month until it will be six months! I was also advised that I would not be told if the application was successful this will not be confirmed over...

"Your application is in process and you need to wait more" but for how long?!!!! No answer. I sent a letter to HO but no reply! I've emailed Mr. MP twice ...

Not really we are there still waiting, I applied 27/05/14 and still no news yet. It seems to me no difference between UKBA and Homeoffice. I feel your pain.
