This happened to me first with the NCS (they lost my payment slip), and it happened again recently with my Passport application, though luckily before the interview stage. I was 'lucky' as I found out (completely by accident) that they had the wrong address on their system. :o I say by accident as I...

Update: I got my Citizenship approved end of July 2011.

The application process was straight forward. No issues at all.

Again, thanks for all your replies. You make this site the best there ever was!

This is not the place to discuss your lying to your husband; another forum and another thread.. but never lie to the Home Office. It is not worth it, and will only cause you problems. I will repeat what others have said. Honesty is the best policy, not exclusively to immigration matters, but in all ...

To those who are despairing, I just wanted to say hope is around the corner. I was one of those who had problems with payment, and was told they only started processing my application on the 21st of June! This was after sending it via NCS on the 17th of May. The payment slip was lost along the way, ...

For those who are getting different answers each time they call UKBA, I have a feeling they would rather people did not call them.

Naturally people give up if they are not getting what they want .

I realise that everybody on this thread, including myself, has applied for BC and most have been approved or in the process of waiting for approval, but has anybody actually been refused? and if so, on what grounds? I understand that the majority of applicants, myself included, have straightforward...

I am getting confused some people said I can't request my passport others said I can. Thanks Haseeb for your replay. My solicitor is registered with OISC but she advised me to send my passport with the application to speed up the application process, therefore, she sent my application on 20/06 and ...

On saturday I received a letter from the UKBA stating that a 'fee payment' was not included with my ...

Thank you all for your help. I went through the NCS to submit my application this week. I took all my passports (expired and current) and the lady who dealt with my application took photocopies of my passports as is standard practice. She did not comment on my visa, but did comment in passing that s...

I live and work in the UK which is how I qualified for the ILR, 5 years on a work permit, and then 1 year with ILR. I applied for an Australian permanent residence a while ago, and this is still valid. I however intend to live in the UK, and am wondering whether the existence of this visa will be a ...
