............. Quite a lot of people have been deported due to TOEIC issue, some people who got visa,ilr,went on holiday and were questioned by immigration officers on arrival in uk and some still got deported after that. ................... Any links to back up this info? I visit the forum regularl...

There is one thing that makes some apps take longer than others which is use of TOEIC certificate to support any visa application in the past be it flr or tier 4. Not necessarily ILR as toeic has been banned for a while. As per some online forums and people's experiences HO had to listen to all the ...

Hi friends. do they send approval in normal delivery by royal mail or by any other. i am asking this question as one of my friend got his approval after 7 months by DHL. Normally approval/citizenship ceremony invitation comes via second class royal mail delivery in a brown envelope unless you have ...

I check it time to time as well. Mine took 6 months as well. I applied on 10 October and got approval on 10 April. Just got my British pp yesterday. By no means it was quick for me either. Good luck to everyone who is still waiting. But from 10 April (plus a few days of ceremony) to Passport on 27-...

1 is that on the surrender form there is section for british pp details where it says place of issue-there is no such info on british pp so can you tell me what you guys mentioned? 2nd is that how do you self attest the photocopies? 1) UK 2) Write "True copy of original" in a blank space on the doc...

Thanks for your response "Rahel1984". I will wait and hopefully they arrive next week. Also it seems like we both might get our passports next week too

Hi everyone, I had my interview yesterday now I'm waiting for pp. I have seen on the forum that most people received their supporting docs before the British pp or even before interview. I chose the option for them to be returned securely but no sign of them turning up until now. Has anyone else bee...

I'm shocked but very impressed with superfast progress of my application. I can't believe that i had to wait 6 months for naturalisation certificate but my pp application is moving fast. I sent my application on last Thursday so it would have been received on Friday, then they printed the interview ...

Hi guys, How easy/difficult is it to get the interview appointments in Victoria or Reading? e.g. is it possible to get a slot on Fridays or if we need a slot sometime the following week? Thanks. If i can add to this and ask a question if anyone has experience of booking appointment at maidstone pp ...

Thanks They will ask you to call to book your appointment. They do not include any interview date/plac...

Hi guys,

Just a quick question about interview date.
When you receive the letter about interview, does it give you the date and location of it or do you need to call somewhere to book appointment?

Thanks

Hi guys, final update for me as from now on i should be on British passport timeline :-) I was told by council that earliest free public ceremony will be 20 may in a council 1hr 15 min away so i paid £95 and got private ceremony organised for today. I got my naturalisation certificate today and i ha...

This is the reason i think NCS is fantastic service for naturalisation application as we can keep all the originals and travel too. I think its well worth the £50-£75 councils charge for this facility as the applicant can then travel or use original for any other purposes like proving eligibility to...

"From what I understand, once you get the approval letter from HO (which we both did), you/we need to book ceremony date with our local council ( the number is provided in the approval letter), Council should also have received a copy of the same approval letter that you and I received. they will th...

So is this the one through which i can book ceremony and get certificate or would i be getting something else? Its a bit confusing and worrying as it took 6 months to get the approval already. Yes attend your ceremony and you'll immediately become a British citizen and receive your ceremony certifi...
