Premium Service taking too long

Hello A family member applied for ILR on a month ago using the one day premium service but was told to supply more documents which he posted to the HO the next day. He called the HO the same week for an update but was told that this could take up to 14 weeks to make a decision. His new job are reque...

Interesting, but why would they issue him/her PR without proper investigation and also judging by the time it takes them to issue PRs nowadays one would think they would have spotted any anomalies then.

Has your friend Naturalised yet? Cos if he has, then i guess he's sorted.

Sasim,

They're correct, it's better you have a pending PR case with the HO after then apply for naturalisation once you meet the 6 year mark.

Hi Sasim.
Sent it to you via PM, not sure if it's right to give lawyers details on this forum but if anyone needs to know the lawyer i used , you can ask me as not a lot of lawyers even know this is possible and most do not know how to go about it. At least there's 1 success story here :-)

I agree with you, if your case is straight forward then go ahead on your own but if you think it's a bit wobbly, i would strongly advise to get a GOOD lawyer involved.

Mzenzen, IMPO, i would suggest you contact a lawyer proficient with EU law to back you up just in case things go pear shaped. What i've come to realise about the EEA route is that they play on people's lack of expertise in that field so when your case get's allocated to a care worker (who are usuall...

Johnty, IMO, you automatically acquired PR status 5 years after you became a family member of an EEA citizein which is June 2009 and you could have applied for naturalisation in June 2010 (1 year of having PR) The sticker is only a confirmation of your PR status. If you did not have the PR sticker b...

Middle name not on Naturalisation Certificate

Hi,

I recently performed my naturalisation ceremony and received the certificate but the cert only has my surname and first name without my middle name. Will this be an issue when applying for British passport or should i just ignore the middle name?
