Hey thanks. I'm travelling to Australia in 3 weeks and when I get back will probably apply for the passport.

Attended the ceremony yesterday and got my citizenship certificate. Thanks to everyone for your assistance and to the people who stayed positive. More letters yesterday and today. Ceremony booked in for 5 March. Completed timeline: Eligibility criteria: UKM Method of application: Post (RM special de...

They could be focussing on applications recieved in 2014 so they can report healthy stats for the current year. So what about those who applied earlier ... let them suffer for some stupid stats ! This is tosh. sameeer why are you so negative? Just about every time you post you're attacking the peop...

I applied in mid December and it took them 5 weeks to acknowledge my application.

Late October applicants had to wait nearly 2 months for acknowledgement.

So in short, wait.

You'll get a letter from them and they will deduct the fee from your bank account, that's how you'll know.

As a recent UKM applicant/approvee let me tell you it's an expensive application. As if not for a stupid law UKM applicants would have been citizens from birth. £80 fee is £80 too much.

With that attitude I'm not surprised they aren't helping you!

they told me same exactly same story "they are currently dealing with applications up till November 3rd." so is no point to call them i think best is to wait for good time :) It certainly doesn't hurt to call them. For what it's worth I called once last week and once yesterday. Last week they said ...

Have you tried calling and asking for an update? No I haven't call them at all as I know that they will say the same thing they said to all people here.. They also don't bother to check. they will say a random words!! I dont know really what to do except this waiting game.. I called them yesterday ...

Hi all, I have been reading all your posts here since October 2013 !! And I feel so furious! I have applied on 24 Oct 2013, fees deducted 7th Jan. I understand that a lot of applications were submitted at the last week of October but seeing many applications from November and December getting their...

Also congratulations to rikken, glad to know it ended on a happy note after all the mishaps with the fee debit etc. Good luck for your next steps. Thanks! Same here I expected it to drag out a bit longer. I requested a different council for the ceremony as to where I live so hopefully that gets sor...

Hey guys! I called the ukba and was told that my application is incomplete! Does anyone know what that means? I am soo confused It means exactly what it says. They haven't finished it yet. I called UKBA last Thursday and got the same thing, then I called today and they said something had been poste...

collipu wrote:Congrats Rikken - what is your timeline?

Bit premature for congrats, it could be a rejection letter.

I applied on 11 December and was acknowledged on 22 January.

Do note that I've applied for registration, not naturalisation. So my circumstances are slightly different.

I called the 08706 067 766 number just now. Was advised that something was sent out to me on 18 February by second-class post. Couldn't say what it was. After I was given this update the guy asked me how many times I've called through asking for an update. He then asked if I had the choice would I p...

Thanks Rikken, The advisor guy told me I should get ''some sort of correspondence'' from them within three weeks. I was advised by a solicitor that I didnt even need to get my certificate amended as my name on my passport is already correct. I dont suppose I can withdraw my request and ask for paym...

Thanks for your responses guys. I actually paid them by cheque though. Could that be the reason why it takes longer? I know cheque payments dont take longer then 4 days to clear,? im having paranoid thoughts now...on the payment slip form I put my full name down including my middle name (as it is o...

Similar thing happened to me although in my case it was due to my bank holding up the payment waiting on me to submit a fraud form allowing it to be processed. The payment will sit in pending transactions with your bank for about a week max. Once that happens it'll get reversed out and if UKBA don't...

What does it mean if your application is 'incomplete'? Has it even been assigned to a caseworker? The wait is killing me! Here's to a week full of approvals!!! :D It means your application hasn't been looked at yet. Still in the pile.. They do work on your application even if it hasn't been allocat...

So just waiting for the letter to arrive now.

Still nothing in the post, should I be concerned?

Second-class post can sometimes take over a week, be patient it'll arrive soon.

For what it's worth, when I called them the other day they said my application was 'not complete'.

Progress, I suppose.

collipu wrote:I am assuming again there is no sequence for processing applications. Pretty sure it is not first come first serve basis?

Why? Every application is different and therefore can take different times. Case workers can work at different speeds.

It's not a big conspiracy, you know.
