Hi all, I was just wondering in this modern day and age of NCS and JCAP, are there any warriors out there who have applied their naturalisation by post? If yes, then does anyone know roughly how long does it take? is it same as MN1 5-6months? Reason I ask is, I live in Ipswich and I'm unable to fin...

I have to agree. I have noticed it as well. By post seems to be the fastest way. If I knew it before, I would have applied By post. While being extremely happy with a quick outcome of my postal application, I don’t think there is a straightforward link in processing time between applying via NCS (J...

Any other documents missing?

Think you got it all covered. When applying by post I also included a cover letter listing everything that is included in the application package. Out of interest, AN form only calls for one photo with name and DOB to be attached, any reason you are including 3?

Guess all depends on how you plan to proceed with the application. If using NCS (some councils also offer combined passport application service), they will check the PR acquisition date for you on the day. If applying by post, you should get hold of the PR acquisition date via options you outlined a...

Hi Summertime76, Did it include the dates of absences you had included in your PR application form? Hi Nutmeg, My fast-track SAR didn't list absences from the UK, in fact there was no trace of any parts of submitted PR application, except for the case notes detailing fee, supporting documents and t...

Is she eligible to obtain Polish passport? I believe the best thing to do is to put Polish as an answer, since this is clearly documented in her passport. You can of course write a note to explain the situation if you wish, and include "Russian National aliens passport" as an alternative answer to ...

Thank you for your reply. The problem is that she holds Latvian Aliens (non-citizen) passport. So what shall I put then? Thank you. I would put it just as it is - Latvia (non-citizen passport) or simply Latvia. Home Office are not looking to establish any other details about your parents, except th...

Hi everyone, I am applying for British Citizenship and I am confused in "1.30 Your mother’s nationality" section as my mother was born in Belarus and she has got Latvian aliens passport, however the third page of her passport states Polish nationality. So I'm not sure what I have to put there. I've...

In the past few days numerous posts were made regarding BC applications made mid-to end of December 2016, with queries about acknowledgement, payment or biometric enrolment letters. Being a part of that group, the advice I give myself is - patience. There have been a number of public holidays, in co...

I wouldn’t worry about a single parking ticket from a private company – they cannot issue a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) as done by your local council. Private parking companies issue a similarly worded ‘Parking Charge Notice’, which is not a PCN, but rather an invoice ‘for a breach of contract’. Man...

It’s bizarre, how the experience of the fast track SAR differs from applicant to applicant. When applied in early November, didn’t include a covering letter with any additional requests, just the form (with ticked ‘IT records’ box), and copies of IDs as instructed. Got an acknowledgement within a we...

Thanks to all of you for responding and getting positive points of NCS across. Was hoping for someone who went down the postal application route to tell me it is all going to be fine. Will have to do some thinking as it is still not obvious to me. Perhaps it’s just my situation: - Don’t have any iss...

Sorry if this has already been discussed here. Apart from the obvious benefit of someone with experience going over the application (not discussing the JCAP scheme at the moment) is there any other reason to use NCS which justifies paying? Not that I am not willing to, but the AN form seems to be st...

Excellent and congratulations. My 3.5 months went quickly but I was less busy recently and was getting twitchy .

Hope it's all good news for you tomorrow or Monday. Patience is a virtue I never possessed and it's been a very long wait.

Pro tip: always keep scans and copies of all documents and evidence ever submitted to UKVI/HO.
Also make copies of all application forms and payment forms submitted. For ever.

Thanks for the pro tip, noajthan!

Why are people here so paranoid? ... Just dont be silly and petty. Use common sense. You will see on the average it takes 16 weeks + to be processed. This is a straight forward case. It will go up by a few days if there is a problem or even if the case goes to a more jobsworth officer. The forum is...

It seems to be taking longer now than at this time last year, but no surprises here, as case workers are probably buried under an avalanche of pre/post referendum applications. Regarding the documents, I am sure if you followed the guidance notes on what is accepted as evidence of exercising your tr...

Good morning. As stated in a previously post I applied on the 08082016 for my EEA PR, the fee of £65 was taken the 2 days after. Have not had an email, letter or anything, does anyone know whats the procedure? When do I hear something, acknowledgement, return of dosc, decision etc anything ? Thanks...
