Tim,

Any updates yet? You manage to send them the info they requested?

Regards

hello Tim, i think you should contact your bank since you already know the content of the letter? Good to hear this update. Your journey is almost over. Hopefully you will recieve your passport in 4/5 days after interview. When did IPS send back your supporting docs ( Old passport+etc )? Is it with ...

Fredfrog, how far have you got with your passport application? Regards Hi Kindley, Not rang for an update yet. Will ring the passport hotline tomorrow to try and get an update as it will have been about a week. How are you getting on with yours. When did you send your application off again? Have yo...

Fredfrog, how far have you got with your passport application?

Regards

I submitted my driving license instead of passport, since i needed my passport to travel. Also its a new passport, and i dont have the old ones. How will they confirm absences and date of first entry and if i was present in the uk 5 years ago? If ab senses confirmed for ILR will they only check the...

Hello Eskar,

What do you mean by "naturalisation papers"? Did you mean your Letters of approval and invitation to attend Citizenship Ceremony? or just your Naturalisation Certificate?

Regards

Hello everyone, Just need a clarification regarding invitation to attend Citizenship Ceremony. Does one have to receive a letter of invitation from the council? Hi Kindley, Just to let you know of my ceremony booking experience. My complaint to the register office has been received and senior perso...

Hello everyone,

Just need a clarification regarding invitation to attend Citizenship Ceremony.

Does one have to receive a letter of invitation from the council?

UPDATES! I'm pleased to inform you all that today I received approval letter from UKBA. They approved my citizenship application. I've also booked an appointment for ceremony ( group ) on 14th April 2010. Thanks to Almighty Allah and all the members of this forum especially Brightest Star, Eskar, F...

Hi, My wife posted her application for Naturalisation as the spouse of a british citizen on the 27th March, i would like to know if anyone could enlighten me the approximate processing times for this type of application at the moment. Or if anyone has been granted Naturalisation as a spouse or know...

Hi Fred, I'm sorry to hear about your situation, some organisation or should i say staff of some of there organisation are hopeless really. I always call at least twice to ensure i've got the right info each time i got told anything. I just always seek second opinion. Private ceremony at your counci...

Hello,

let's hope we'll get good news soon.

Tim, yours will be soon

Good luck.

Brightest S, Any updates for you yet? Guys, I would like to proudly announce that I am a full British Citizen now. I got my letter this morning and called up my local council if they can arrange for a private ceremony and yes they did it. I live in a small town so guess there is no rush for ceremony...

Freddfrfrog, Thanks for clarification. I am quite surprised the length of time it's taking the "second" letter to arrive. 2nd class letters normallly arrive within 5 days, the strike was 2 days so should have arrived at most 7 working days. Let's hope letters are delivered soon. To those still waiti...

Any update from your side freddfrog? Not yet Tim, will ring council again on Monday lunchtime. If it still isn't there then it's 2-weeks tomorrow and the approval letter said ring UKBA if it hasn't arrived by then. Let's hope it's just the strikes that have slightly delayed the certificates and let...

A DECISION HAS BEEN MADE ON MY APPLICATION ON 16/03/2010 & HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING AS YET. CALLED MY COUNCIL TODAY AS THEY RECEIVE THEIR DELIVERY FROM HOME OFFICE ON EVERY FRIDAY, BUT THE COUNCIL SAID THAT THEY WERE EXPECTING TO GET ABOUT 60 CERTIFICATES THIS FRIDAY BUT DID NOT RECEIVE ANY BECAUSE ...

Brightest S, Tim and everyone still expecting, I suspect you'll get your 2 letters this week...I believe it won't be long now.

Wish you all the best.

something weird is going on. I just rang the register office of the nearby council (the same one who told me they were instructed not to accept anyone from another district) and this time they said it was fine and I could have my ceremony there on 21/04. It was not the same lady who I spoke to yest...

Thanks Tim, Brightest S, Fredfrog and everyone... I don't think I can book ceremony without the 2nd letter which advices you which council to book your ceremony. It seems the UKBA now send invitation to attend ceremony to your nearest council irrespective of the fact that you want your ceremony ther...
