my (private) ceremony is on the 12th. costs more than £80 :( according to directgov website you need to allow six weeks for first passport application and compulsory 30 minute interview. god knows what they find to discuss for 30 minutes six weeks is too long for me to risk it as i am flying out f ...
I have now booked private ceremony for this Thursday 11th August. My company wants me to get British Passport asap. They are paying for it. Will be sending my passport application on Thursday itself. How long does it take to get the british passport back? It depends. I got mine in 9 days, from ...
Common Guys - keep your head up. More and more approvals will flood in over the next couple of weeks. Your letter will show up in the post soon enough.
Just received my UK passport this morning (had my interview at 4.45PM on Monday) - so very happy. Many thanks to everyone who has posted on these pages giving information that helps clarify next steps and what to expect. Would keep checking the forum to see if I can help anyone along in their ...

is that same ref number as on ack letter for invitation or its different ref number for invitation. Same number, although there are also two other numbers (Poll/Cover numbers) which the council can ask for. When I called to book my ceremony on Friday, they didn't ask for any numbers though. However ...
Nothing today either. Looks like mine is lost in post. Might have to ask them to send again. When does the council send letter for ceremony? Hello vipul1981...i am not sure but vaguely remember that some people contacted council to see if they have received certificate from UKBA and i think they ...
Nothing today either. Looks like mine is lost in post. Might have to ask them to send again. When does the council send letter for ceremony? Vipul1981, I didn't get a letter from the council. I received the UKBA approval letter asking me to call the coucil to fix a date for the citizenship ceremony ...
Nothing today folks I was thinking you should receive it today esp when it was posted Thursday last week. Well look forward to next week now mate. My post hasn't arrived for the day yet. Just got my letters come through....its an approval. Letter dated 12th July. Best wishes to all 1664 Congrats ...
Just to say that our approvals arrived in the post this morning, for myself, my wife and my daughter. I have just called the Council to try and arrange a private ceremony, and am expecting them to call me back. Many thanks to everyone on this forum who has posted information at one point in time or ...

Hi guys i applied for my wife and daughter's naturalisation on 17 Jun. today i got child's registeration document. does that mean decision for my wife has been made or there can be time lag. do they process application separately? Did you submit as a family application (as a single submission at an ...
cogunde - have you already booked your ceremony? If yes how did you do that? No I haven't. I was tempted to do so though, as I called the Council this morning. They asked me for my Home Office reference number, which I assumed was the same one on my acknowledgement letter. However, I was wary of ...

I applied 10 June at NCS Sutton (family application). Application received by UKBA 13 June, payment taken 21 June and decision made 13 July. Decision posted 18 July.
Vipul1981/1664 - Confirmed with UKBA that mine was posted on Monday 18 July. Supposed that means I shouldn't expect to receive it until sometime next week?
I agree with you Jambo - in the final analysis, I'm sure we would all prefer a decision that takes time but is an approval as against a quick decision that is a refusal. Lets just hang in there!
1664, my category was Work Permit (5 years) before ILR, never got on to Tier 1 or 2. Not sure that would have made any difference though, cos they would have had to examine the application to determine the category anyway?
My understanding is that they are asked whether they know you, how they know you (friend, colleague, etc) and how long for to see if it meets the criteria stated in the form. From my experience, they don't always call the references (for instance, I spoke to the referees for our application over the ...
I understand it can be quite frustrating, rnr79, but just hang in there. I'm sure your good news is on the way. In a couple of months, you'll look back on this episode and laugh, am sure.
I have learnt from all my interactions with UKBA over the years that there is no method to the madness in terms of dealing with applications - they don't operate FIFO of LIFO, although recent postings would perhaps suggest that they are operating LIFO? Based on some of the other things I have read ...
Just called UKBA this morning to follow up on my family application (Me and wife AN, my daughter MN1) which was submitted on Friday 10 June at NCS Sutton (and received by UKBA on 13 June). Was informed that decision was made on 13 July and that we will receive this in the post shortly. Just to ...
Happylife3011, am not sure it's worth the bother, although of course John would disagree with me. I contacted HMRC to make a refund request after finding out we had the same issue (although both my wife and I are subject to immigration control, unlike your case where it's just your wife). The ...
