Re: British Passport application processing timelines (only)

For interest's sake, I started gathering my docs and preparing my application, I have been tracking the timelines here and plugging it into a spreadsheet. Here's the list from the start of the year until today. Please note: I omitted overseas applications, as they are vulnerable to delays in postage...

Re: Passport check&send

Is this NCS (Naturalisation Checking Service) you are talking about ? I think the term Check&Send is only applicable to the passport service and the term for Naturalisation is NCS. You are right, I'm confusing the terms. I thought there was a service from the council to but I'm probably conflating ...

Passport check&send

Hi all, When using check&send for my naturalisation application, the benefit was that I got to keep my passport. Is this the case for British passport applications using check & send? Either through the council or post office. I know it is required in general (just like naturalisation) but I can't f...

Re: General Discussion During Naturalisation Application Pro

Hi all, I got a letter in November asking for extra documentation. The letter gave several options (passport, payslips, etc) to proof residence between two particular dates. Just to be sure, I sent two of the given options, immediately. From following these forums over the last year, I was under the...

Re: Naturalisation application processing timelines (only)

Still waiting for them to take my money - it's been a month already :( So today I found out why. I got a letter from HO, dated 25 June, saying the following: Dear Mr Stoofie, Re: Mr BillyBob Stoofie Azania 1 January 1970 [*] I refer to your application for British citizenship. The appropriate fee i...

Re: Naturalisation application processing timelines (only)

How many applicantions? Just one - single person, no spouse/partner/dependants, no overstays or anything. I'm only a little anxious because I'm meant to go abroad for work for business soon and I'd like to at least get the biometrics out of the way before that, given that the letter gives you two w...

Re: Naturalisation application processing timelines (only)

Has anyone noticed that the payment taking part has sped up in recent weeks? Between January and late March it was generally within a week. Since late march it's been between 20 and 30 days. But since the end of May some have had their money taken within a week, give or take. Still waiting for them ...

Re: Naturalisation application processing timelines (only)

HO are still processing January/February applications. Possibly, but they don't appear to be going strictly in order. Some folks on here who applied in March have theirs completed already, while quite a few from January and February are still waiting. Similarly, I'm still waiting for my payment to ...

Re: Naturalisation application processing timelines (only)

Question: Is it common for people to forget about updating their timelines here? Just wondering because I don't see any applications made since April that's made it past biometrics.

Re: General Discussion During Naturalisation Application Pro

Simple question: When I handed in my application (NCS) I was told that I will receive a invitation to do the biometrics, and this will have to be done within two weeks. Is there a similar limit on doing the ceremony? In other words, once they send the approval letter, is there a time limit to arrang...

Re: Naturalisation application processing timelines (only)

Hi folks, I was interested to see where timelines are on average, so I copied all the applications listed here since early March (and a few back to January, but not all), and put all the stages in columns, adding a total for the days each stage too. A few things I've learned: - Biometrics seems to h...
