Re: April 2015 Naturalization application Timeline ONLY

Till date I have tried all possible ways to reach the HO but in vain. Right now, I am so frustated and losing all my patience :cry:. To be honest the only thing they are good at is not answering communication. I have had letters, emails, and phone calls since September go unanswered. Nothing. And a...

Re: April 2015 Naturalization application Timeline ONLY

I don,t know what is the criteria I don't think they are very proactive and aware. I applied from Europe, and explicitly stated I wanted my ceremony in the UK, as this is my choice. However the letter said I will receive an invitation letter "from my embassy". It will be 4 weeks on monday and I can...

Re: April 2015 Naturalization application Timeline ONLY

How long does one normally wait for the invitation letter?

Given the timelines, it certainly sounds like that people here are receiving their invitation with their approval?

Re: April 2015 Naturalization application Timeline ONLY

I always applied via solicitors for the Tier 1 and further extensions cause didn't wanted to wait, i applied with the solicitor . and everything i...

Re: April 2015 Naturalization application Timeline ONLY

Nearly 7 months later and no constructive information from HO/UKVI.

Not even a response to my request to change address and request documents back.

Just a "we need more than 6 months due to policy changes" letter with no means of contacting the sender on it.

Re: April 2015 Naturalization application Timeline ONLY

I was very excited today to received a brown envelope. Which turned instantly to very disappointed. Within was a pretty lame letter saying that they were not able to complete my application within the 6 month time frame, and that they are doing everything possible to make it happen, and the next upd...

Re: sending bank credit cards / ATM cards fedex UK to Canada

I am going to travel from UK to Canada soon. Is it safe to send bank credit cards / ATM cards by fedex from UK to Canada? I am thinking of putting then in an RFID shielded envelope so their data cannot be read. Am I being too cautious / wrong headed to be entrusting some of my documents to FEDEX? I...

Re: New citizenship form UKF

I guess not many people who would qualify know about it That's the truth, including the Embassy in my home Country who said I am not entitled to anything. Years later I stumble across the UKM form by accident. Even the eligibility "calculator" on the UKVI Website doesn't acknowledge children born t...

Re: New citizenship form UKF

Ah! Good point about the fact that there isn't an application fee, just the citizenship ceremony fee. That would make sense for them to not charge upon receipt, but upon processing. I did find somewhere a note that they aim to be acknowledging receipt within 4 weeks, but perhaps that's more for oth...
