Thanks Jambo

Do we need to send the naturalisation certificate and passport (both original) if applying through postal or original naturalisation certificate and certified copy of passport is enough.

I arranged my ceremony for this afternoon (Private).Dont worry you will be approved if you satisfy good character and residence requirements.

In my last letter to UKBA i explicitly said that my last step to be British Citizenship is turning to be embarassing considering the timelines.

Thanks that's been a relief.

After 10 months i received approval letter last friday and havent received invitation letter from council.I changed to another city half way through the application.To which council would i be attending the ceremony the one i requested on my application or the one given by Homeoffice. When would i r...

Thanks Sam_London & juliajules1979.

Hi Forum, I have applied for citizenship on May4th 2011 and finally today received my approval.I have lost hope after December.I had my MP involved as well which wasnt of much help. So the lesson is no convictions and HMRC Tax affairs in order ultimately you would receive your approval whether it's ...

But either the department or PO box not the same on the letter written by my solicitor. I will come back on this once i ve checked at home.

Still waiting to hear from them after having written to UKBA.

I have hired a solicitor to make a complaint on my behalf and is charging 250£.Not sure if it's value for money.

Yes i am referring to the same six month timeline.I have been in the country for more than ten years.Checks within the country shouldn't take that long.It's either few screens away on the computer or a few phone calls to other departments.

Hi Forum , I would need advice how to chase UKBA once the six month timeline has passed. I would finish my six month timeline in few weeks. I am requesting advice if there is a legal directive for them to give information on the progress or process the application faster by assigning it to caseworke...

I dont want to spoil the weekend but i would call UKBA on monday to get update.

To sum up one would get approved if he satisfies 1. Residence qualifying period 2. Good Character 3. Hasnt evaded taxes(could be "due" to HMRC if self employed or PAYE) but there should be no history where the person has made a purpose to evade tax rather then being due i.e not paying on time ). Don...
