Normally you receive one approval letter saying that you will receive your ceremony invitation within 2 weeks. and week after you will get another letter inviting you to ring local council to arrange ceremony. In my case, the approval letter doubled up as letter of invitation, so I was asked to con...

I think there will be problem only if your name appears on the council tax and you default on payments which then lead to the council taking it up to the magistrate for debt recovery.

Finally, after 7yrs in Queensland, I get on the BC waiting list. Criteria - 2yrs Working Holiday Maker + 4yrs HSMP JR + 1yr ILR (Director of Ltd Company in last 1yr) Submitted at NCS Southwark - 23rd March, 2011 Received at HO - 24th March, 2011 Debit Card debited - 28th March, 2011 Acknowledgemen...

Congratulation to all who got their approvals, I got mine last week friday and its been whole week and still waiting for my invitation for ceremony. My local council hasn't received it yet. Called HO yesterday and they said that invitation was posted yesterday. My wait still not over yet :lol: C'mo...

Congrats! - Hopefully, mine is not too far behind... I guess they will be going through more checks for me since I am a family member of EEA National and they will want to check up on my father and see if he is fulfilling the treaty rights... I have got nothing to worry about so I am not too worrie...

Ok, decision has been made yesterday the 27th, been asked to wait for a letter in 2 weeks.....phew! nearly there....

Congratulations to my wonderful friends FerrariLondon and bhumi.....I'm so excited that I shouted while reading your posts on the train!!!!!!!

Now I want to be patient and will def call HO in another couple of weeks for my update. Congrats guys, best of luck being a Brit.

I am the new entry to list of waiting for approvals. I have been reading the timeline post where everyone discussing about waiting time. Can we discuss the waiting times and status updates of the naturalisation application after submission? May be moderators can make this post sticky. rnr79, "this ...

ferrarilondon wrote:Johnty correct me if I am wrong, you have been waiting since last 6 months? have u called them

Indeed, HO says it could take more than 6months for decision based on their external checks....perhaps Johnty falls within this category....

thanks dsk I am in 10th week now Hi Ferrari matey, I feel your pain....I don't seem to understand how others deal with this....how can a case be in for 8weeks without even an initial check!!! It's silly really.....but what more can we do other than wait...ehn? Seriously, there is no point calling H...

I am applying for citizenship, under question "Knowledge of language / life in the UK 1.22" what option should I chose? I guess HSMP JR are exempt from the test?

Thanks

HSMP JR are exempted for ILR. You must meet the Knowledge of Language for Naturalisation stage.

The world has woken up finally

Congrats Sam and Tintin, ferrarilondon, you're next matey. I think I might get mine early June.

Anyways, I'm keeping my fingers crossed

how about your update ? :lol: did you check it ha....didn't summon enough courage to ask for update. I said to the gentleman "I learnt it takes up to 6months to receive decision these days". He replied "It can take up to 6months or less in most cases - 95% of cases are decided less than 6months"......

yes alta dont worry over it, just wait and see you should be ok Thanks ferrrarilondon, you're very encouraging and I appreciate you and the other fellas on this forum. I called HO today to enquire about this....the person I spoke to said not to worry that it's not needed in principle. But that if t...

you should definately call them as it almost 4 weeks . Eek! Okay, thanks. I guess I was secretly hoping you guys would know of someone that had the same but was alright, but I knew really it couldn't be. Argh, I'm worried now! I'll go double check the royal mail website now and call them tomorrow a...

We have only pointed out the correct guidance.

Thanks, if HO requires more doc, they will ask for it. Until then, I refused to worry over this.

my NCS personnel declined to photocopy my driver's lic even though I used it for my LIUK. She said they don't need it that my "passport is sufficient to proof my identity". Which is contrary to the the following instruction: * if you used one of these documents when you took the Knowledge of Life i...

I am not surprised if they are having to work twice as hard as before. Especially after the funding cuts, job losses etc... Every Government dept financial / budget year startes from April. If they did make people redundant (they would have known that in Jan / Feb) March 31st would have been their ...
