as I said before, HO answered my questions. not the best answers but they all have been answered unlike what you stated!

Happy to stand corrected, didn't expect them to respond at all, good job getting an actual answer from them!

You need to list all trips before you made the application. If you don't plan any additional before your application date, it's all good.

I submitted an FOI request last month and received a reply from the Home Office. The average processing time for naturalisation applications submitted this year is approximately 100 days. The number of naturalisation applications received in 2021 is below: Jan 11244, Feb 12,081, Mar 14,067 Apr 10,8...

I can see that some people who applied in August or Sept have received responses. There doesn't seem to be any order but at least people are being approved. And that is the frustrating part... next week it will be 5 month for me... It's a random system. No logic in their selection of cases for appr...

My Application is taking longer i guess Your guess is wrong. Currently average time for waiting is ~132 days, while you're waiting only 109 days. If you don't receive a decision by the end of November, you can say it's taking longer. I hope he got the year wrong, he put 2017 instead of 2021... if h...

My Application is taking longer i guess

Your guess is wrong. Currently average time for waiting is ~132 days, while you're waiting only 109 days. If you don't receive a decision by the end of November, you can say it's taking longer.

I was wondering about the average wait time for 2021 so I scanned the timelines thread and have worked out the average wait time of applications submitted this year to be 131 days. The longest someone reported waiting was 221 days and the shortest was 18 days. Thanks for doing this, it's really hel...

You should answer "yes" if you have any special circumstances why you think the Home Secretary should still grant your application if you don't meet the statutory requirements to become a British citizen. At the same time, you should answer "no" if you don't have any special circumstances why you th...

You need to contact your council and book a ceremony. Not all councils do it automatically, in many cases you need to book it yourself.

When did you apply for naturalisation?
And was your application approved or just accepted?

What number did you call? And what did you tell them so they actually checked the status of your application? I called a couple of times, but as soon as they hear that the application was made less than 6 months ago, they refuse to continue the conversation, e.g. they don't ask my name or applicatio...

I guess i have to monitor my emails, incl Junk folder.... You also have to monitor regular post, as a lot of people here reported that they only received physical letters but not email. And if your letter is lost (rarely but happens) there is no way to know about it or check the status of your appl...

What email did you send your new address to?

nationalityenquiries@homeoffice.gov.uk
NationalitySupportTeamFMT@homeoffice.gov.uk

I had the same situation, no acknowledgment email. I think it's a bug in a crappy HO system. Just to be safe, I sent my details by email as well, but there was no response, so I'm hoping they update it somewhere in the background. And just to be safe, I paid for mail forwarding to my new address, al...

First of all, so sorry for your loss. I am not sure which details to use for ticket bookings and filling forms. You need to use your passport details when booking the flight. BRC card details are not indicated anywhere. You will show BRC card to: 1) Airline staff at the check-in desk. They don't car...

at the border on her return, be prepared to show copies of her BRP, the letter stating that she had to return it and a copy of her naturalization certificate.

US passport holders can us e-gates, there is no one to check any documents.

you got confirmation email from APAD for BRP Issue in April & card delivered just today? No, I applied in the beginning of April (submitted biometrics beginning of May). APAD confirmation came a week ago, and I received my card today. If I knew back then that we don't need to replace old BRC, I wou...

Can anyone advise how to replace my old BRC with the new BRP in the system?

Managed to do it using https://www.gov.uk/update-uk-visas-immi ... nt-details.

I received my BRP today (waited since April). Now I'm trying to link it to my settled status, but am straggling with it. Can anyone advise how to replace my old BRC with the new BRP in the system?

I submitted biometrics recently, they only asked for a passport. So you don't need it for biometrics definitely.
However you need to upload a copy of BRP with your application, do you have a scanned copy?

Anyone else with similar timeline

It's 10 weeks for me. And I even already applied for naturalisation (with BRC), would be funny if I receive British citizenship before my new BRP is issued.
