Did you receive your acknowledgement letter even before it was drafted or is that a typo?

Probably better if you do a deed poll and include this along with the marriage certificate in your application. This was what a friend of mine did and the application was approved with the new name on the certificate

Thanks guys for the quick clarification. Much appreciated.

I'm just wondering if myself and my spouse making a joint application can use the same referees in our naturalisation application.

Could someone confrim if this is okay please?

Thanks

I'm looking at booking an NCS appointment for family application (me, wife + kids) but just needed to clarify the following points first. Questions: 1) Does the wife & kids have to go with me for the appointment or is it something I can just go myself? The nearest NCS to me is some 150 miles away so...

Can anyone help with some clarifications on the Home Office discretion to disregard immigration time restrictions during the last 12 months Of the residential qualifying period please? As per the below link, the UKBA says "If you have not been free from time restrictions for 12 months, we will norma...

Congratulation!!! superman555 at last after long time you received your ILR pray for us as well we get ours early, now enjoy your freedom from visa timing and go for big party. happy days pal. again best of luck for future. Thanks mate. I'm quite positive that you'll receive yours this week fingers...

Well well well.... What else can I say but to massively thank the whole members of this great forum for all your support. After 22 weeks and 4 days I finally received my passport back from HO this morning with the shining ILR on it for both myself & 4 dependants. Below is my timeline again: Applicat...

Congrats mate. This is my annoyance with their "6 months no enquiry policy" You are left in the dark just assuming your documents get lost in the post or as in your case, sent to a wrong address. Can you imagine the anxiety you've gone through since November when you should have received your passpo...

WP expires on 2012.
i received ack letter on 01/09/11.

Have you tried to phone HO? You can call them anytime from today as your application was 6 months old yesterday. I'll advise that you call them and see what they says... Goodluck mate.

Still waiting
Almost 26 weeks
Any advice.

Long wait

What category is your application? As it's going to be 6 months on Saturday, you can call them on Monday for an update on the application... Goodluck mate

I think it's just a deliberate attempt by UKBA to make one cough out the additional £400 for a PEO application. I agree with you 100% AshMad as I honestly think that the ILR stamp should be the eligibility date as opposed to the decision date. However they might think that if they do it this way, th...

Spot on bob-russell I fully concur and would happily and actively participate in such an exercise. No foreign country would do it to their nationals i.e. collect such a big amount of money from them and hold their passports down for 6 months or even more in some cases, so why do it to other national...

Hi Everyone, This is my timeline for Set O JR application . Sent application on 21/09/11 by special delivery. HO received application on 22/09/11 Money taken shortly afterward and i received the acknowledgement letter. Received passport for me and wifey with ILR stamp (Liverpool) on 16/02/12 by spe...

I have a very strong suspicion that they are deliberately delaying the applications in order to mass migrate all ILR applicants onto the identity card system as a bird told me me it'll be rolled in starting April 2012. Just a thought The issuance of BRP for ILR applicants is actually from 29th Febr...

Easy Superman. I know it gets very frustrating ... but believe me the wait wiill be worth it. Polly_s, remind me again when you are away from. Must not forget to continue your good work. Miracleprayer - I thought you should have received yours by now? Could HO machine have broken down? Early Septem...

Hi guys I did not send any expediate letter, nor lawyer. I think, if no gaps in between visas and no criminal records. it should be quick. Thank you very much guys. O yeah - tell me about that again!!! What do you mean by "if no gaps in between visas?" is there ever a gap in between visas? Don't we...

MiraclePrayer, albert11, Ratish123, Shuklac78 and SET(O)ILR_JR - I have a very strong feeling that you all could get a visit from postman pat before this week runs out so keep your fingers firmly crossed for that....

Spot on doubletrouble. Same as me here albeit I've still not received my passport with ILR back till now. If I had applied at a PEO back in September I would have received more money in child benefit by now more than the money I tried to save. Also I would have been 7 months away from naturalisation...
