I am planning to submit my Naturalisation application (Tier 2 to ILR+1year). I will be eligible on 5th November 2020, but I have a travel plan at the end of November. I am unsure whether applying when I come back in February or 25 days (15 working days) is sufficient for biometric requirements. I h...

Hi, I am eligible to apply for nationality (Tier 2 ILR+1 Year), and application is ready to be submitted and ready to make the payment, but I have to go out of UK and shall be back on 24th November. Should I submit the application now? or when I come back? I mean is there any restrictions that you ...

If someone would like to know. Today has been six months since we applied for the citizenship without any outcome. I called the HO this morning (0300 123 2253). They took all the details and the problem has been escalated and we should receive an update within 10 working days. otuel Otuel, you and ...

Given the pattern, I think Section 6(1) applications mid-late June are processed now....
and applications on basis of BC spouse or EU route are processed quicker...

I sure think its down to BREXIT. They may be prioritizing EU application due to the looming deadlines

So it appears they are going somewhat by IDV biometrics submission date. My biometrics submission was 5th September (application 25 June) and nothing yet No. Seems like in order of the date of registration with UKVI/UKVCAS. UKVI have told us that they aim to deal with ALL applications in date order...

Just got my approval email today, with just the IDV submission (28/8/2020) However, last Friday I sent email to request for Status update, I don’t know if that might have yielded a quicker result. Application submitted online on 13/06/2020 Good luck and many thanks to all. Mostly to @ CR001 & C...

I may be wrong but I strongly believe IDV submissions are the bottle neck and HO isn't prioritising naturalisation applications. Is possible they can half their permanent migration team to prioritise ILR and Tier 2 application due to the current health and economic crisis?

@littlebuns My wife and kids are British Citizens. However, I have only had religious marriage in UK so not married as per UK law. So I had to go for Section 6(1). Yes I know, usually Section 6(2) used to be very quick. Best of luck to you. Perhaps email to ask for a status update, I plan to do tha...

I submitted my application on the 29th of July and submitted my biometrics via IDV only on the 31st of August. I am still waiting for approval. I received approval (via email) today :D . I didn't attend an in person appointment but I did send a status request to 'nationalityenquiries@homeoffice.gov...

Just submitted my biometrics at Croydon Lansdowne (dual submission). Fingers crossed. Took 10 min. Documents were already submitted. Just took biometrics. Scanned full current passport. Done. Nice one. Good luck and update us. Thanks for all you do tho. I really hope it goes well for you. You've be...

Hi All, Applied for Naturalization on ILR + 1 year route, submitted document using IDV app on 04/09/2020, and received email from MMSTFCTCALLNOTES ( 14/09/2020) "Dear We aim to process all applications within 6 months from the date submitted. However, in certain circumstances this target is no...

Question from a mate, guys. He has booked an appointment for Monday the 28th but is going on a business meeting in Brussels. Can he change it on the UKVCAS website. From what I can see on my appointment that's a No. He would have to cancel and rebook for another day. Is that true? What do others see...

And another one.... day after biometric appointment at UKVCAS I receive approval email. I am sure that IDV works for some, but there is a clear pattern of people submitting IDV and waiting for weeks and yet after physical appointment they get decision in day or two, sometimes within hours. Anyway, ...

thanks, mate, if you hadn't booked your Friday's appointment, would have asked you to double-check by selecting Leeds centre. will wait to see your result on Friday before booking myself in. It's really a joke and not sure if HO is aware that the app submission isn't sent to them on time. I called ...

Hi There,
I have received IDV invitation yesterday. However, I have booked the appointment for biometrics which will be in the first week of October.

I have news! Not sure if you saw my previous post, did the initial IDV app submission on 27/08. Attended my in-person biometric today 23/09 10:15am and then got my approval email today at 1pm. That's 2.5hrs roughly. Not sure if my in-person appt pushed mine or it was already being considered. here'...

No free appointments in Manchester!!!

Yeah it's very difficult getting anything in Manchester. Try Sheffield and Birmingham. You may have to travel a bit for this one

I applied on 1/07/2020, and was eligible for biometric reuse. receieved invitation and submitted biometrics via IDV app on 28/08/2020. Looking at the trend on this forum, I was tempted to book in person appointment. This thought of booking in person appointment came to mind so many times, but at th...

Since I have waited 3 weeks for IDV app decision. I have booked a FREE appointment at croydon for Friday. Will keep you posted.

Same here. I have waited too long for any correspondence of any form. I have booked us all a reduced £69 appointment at Sheffield for next Friday. Will see how it goes
