This is Ridiculous as mosts others have now even attended the ceremonies. Are you sure you do not have anything needing detailed investigations on your case? (In case..... apologies if not..As this is the only thing can delay that much...) It has been more than 2 months now and ukba is still saying ...

@ICEBREAKER: It must be very frustrating and is annoying....but sometimes we just have to wait and just divert attention. I am sure calling HO again & again will not change anything as persons picking phone are only customer service advisors (& not case workers). Application sent 26/sep/2010 recieve...

@Generalisimus!, Thanks a lot for your time & effrot to reply.......I will stop asking furhter questions as your answer is quite explainatory..but just for understanding....isnt a british citizenship certificate itself a right of abode? (i.e. not a british passport but a citizenship certificate). Ba...

Balded/Others, Thanks for thep reply. Is it compulsary to do so?...i.e. to travel on british passport once is ceremony attended? What if I am travelling with my passport having ILR? I mean there is a difference between 'should' & must.... mashroom1, you can apply for a British passport whenever you ...

Is it required to apply for a british passport after receiving the certificate? Is there any duration/timeperiod in which a british passport has to be applied after attending ceremony & receiving the certificate? Also, I know that we need to contact council within 14 Days after receiving the approva...

My council is asking £110 extra for a private ceremony although my friend with my another council paid £50 extra only. It doesnot look fair once we have paid £80 already. What I can do about it i.e. if it is possible (after approval) to switch to another council ? Why there is not a fix rate for ...

I had 3 points for SP30 which I declared to HO for transprency as at that I had to go to court ONLY becuz I was driving on International (valid) & had passed the UK test and was going to apply for UK licence. Court simply said pay £60 fine and once you have UK licence received, it will be will 3 po...

To update timelines....it took 5 Weeks (1/10/10 - 07/11/10) for me to get Approval Letter for my kids MN1(3) application.

i am am applying for my daughters registration as a british citizen on form MN1 under section 1 (3) as we have obtained ILR and my daughter was born in the uk 3 years back. In form MN1 do i need to fill residence requirements for her? if i need to fill the section on residency is there a number of ...

The council is asking for £110 extra for a private ceremony... (as Public one is more than a month away). My understanding was that we pay £80 already for this (like a catch at every point) & an extra £30 may be justifiable for a private one.... I think each council is having their own rate for P...

To update further in terms of timelines, I have received approval latters just now for me (AN) & my daughter(MN1). Wishing you all the same outcome....

I would personally suggest to keep faith & wait. Its seems normal so far as many are in same boat & waiting.

On the other hand I always dread 2nd class post lost in some transition and HO advising to wait till 6 months.... ....seems funny isnt?

I do not agree here that there is a special vetting process for any specific country. My friends from same country got approvals even in 3 weeks as well.

I do believe though that Will of God, Luck, case worker to whom you are assigned matter....

Looks like there is no sequence in processing whatsoever?

Anyone applied between 30/09/10 - 04/10/10 and still waiting?

@ICEBREACKER - any (breaking/melting) news?

All is well if ends well -:)
