Just an update: my wife submitted her naturalisation application on 29/03/2007 via NCS, it was delivered to the Home Office on 30/03/2007. The money (£268 :) ) was taken from her account only on 09/05/2007. No any letters received yet. I am glad (bit evil though) that post and NCS are having simil...

Does one have to send the original passport to Liverpool for viewing, after having a naturalisation application approved? Once your naturalisation application is approved, it means they have all the documentation they need. Once the app is approved that means they are happy with the docs and made t...

Agree but cant argue with them can u?
Someone in high position used his brain and come up with this poilcy.
doesnt make sense
even if u go on a week holiday u cant apply
but this is true with any country's govt.
they have some or other stupid policies

but I was away for a proper business reason. and it is crazy to say my application would have been successful if I applied one month ago Unfortunately yes but true. See HO has to work on some guidelines. and they have set this as a strict GUIDELINES. I had to wait for over 7 months because of this ...

You are right no harm to call them. I will do it. I'm from Morocco. Do you think it affects the processing time of my application ?

Just keep us posted of outcome. this might come handy to other members. Even if they refused to look at your records.

I think they forgot to change February to March. I checked yesterday and it was 3.80 at end of february It make sense then. They recieve 5 times more app in end of March with average and average waiting time for these apps as 2 weeks and this big lot reducesd the total average to 2,8 month. While w...

BIA site now says the average waiting time for Naturalisation 2.45 months HeHeHe This is as of end of Feb. I guess in March alone they must have recieved 5-6 times more app. Also if they calculate average by number of apps awaiting decision / total time since they recieve by BIA formula then this i...

thanks for the reply, i submitted the form at the NCS on the 31st, so i should be paying 268, correct? Should i call the NCS or the home office, from the posts i have read it seems that people are having a grand time contacting the home office. I have gone through a few posts and it seems that a nu...

To Confirm that my assumption was correct. This morning I saw x amount in pending transaction and in the afternoon it was x+n amount. I was expecting this n amount. Ofcourse it depends on Credit card to Credit card (and merchant to merchant) Cheers Guys the amount I mentioned above was £268 howeve...

I would advise you to call up ho and ask them regarding ack. If I am not wrong NCS are charging 268 on 31st March and on 2nd April they are charging 500 +. If they demand 500+ you can argue that NCS is HO appointed office and working on HO guidlines. if you would have known 500 pound you would have ...

Okay, guys this is my story so far: UPDATE: Postal or NCS: POSTAL Date of submission or posting : 20 Feb 07 (received by HO on 21/02/07) CRITERIA - 3 yr stay (spouse of BC) Date of debit of debit/credit card: 26 February 2007 Date on acknowledgement Letter: 26 February 2007 Date of receipt of ackno...

Fees should be 268. It is HO's problem if they delay in their internal processing. As far as you are concern you have submited form on 28th.

hi, welcome to this thread Yes you should call as NCS claim that within 10 days they will send you an acknowledgement. If you read through the thread 2-3 pages back you will find Mr. Tejwani's son's card details was wrongly captured. As soon as He called HO they sorted out. With postal application t...

I am checking my Card every hour (online) to see if they deducted money. I thought all credit cards get updated in the night. It is not a real "real time" postings. To Confirm that my assumption was correct. This morning I saw x amount in pending transaction and in the afternoon it was x+...

Don't worry too much, champion. You applied 2 days after I did. so maybe your approval letter is on the way in the post soon!!! Just keep your fingers crossed. Wish u luck! Thanks for wishes and I hope your wishes comes true. If I get my approval letter by next Friday I will come to your town and w...

I think it depends. in some cases it reflect straightway (but under pending)
and some it is not. I may be wrong though
