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 ...
Assuming you fullfill all the other standard requirments for naturalization your only worry seems to be related to the future intention requirment. However, since you recieved your Australian PR prior to your British ILR I don't think the HO will have any issue with this because you intend to live ...
You do not need anything except for passport and LIUK test certificate, if you used another ID for LIUK test, you will need that as well , nil else is required, except of course the fee ! Actually gidoc, not in all cases....my NCS personnel declined to photocopy my driver's lic even though I used i...
@rnr79 I added Special delivery envelope for them to return my approval in it as they use 2nd class standrad mail and that can take up to 7-10 days to arrive. @bierebaron join the waiting club mate you only applied 1 week ago , look at us who been waiting for almost 9-10 weeks. Gul here waiting for...
1st Recorded Class is rubbish. Only special delivery guarantees next day delivery. BUT having said that, they may have received your application and the Royal Mail page never shows the delivery properly. It happens to 1st and 2nd class recorded. It's absolutely crap. I have sent 1st class recorded ...
No they just told me that the decision has been made and I had to wait for the letter to come throgh. I didn't ask about whether the letter has been mailed or not. dont worry Jagan, it should be ok they dont disclose the decision on the phone, did they say that the letter has been posted? incredibl...
Hope its not like early 2009 when HO received huge amount of applications when people started panicking due to " earn citizenship " announcement. people waited average 3- 4 months to hear back then. Applications could well possibly sit in the queue for 8 weeks, from then on, it could take another 4...
Gul , I have strong feelings that the high risk nationalities applicants have to wait longer than other nationalities applicants. I might be wrong but these are my gut feelings. I am Pakistani what about you GUL? You might be right you know....HO reserves the right to make checks with foreign agenc...
Just spoke to one of the advisors, dont think he was in a good mood or may be he was fed up talking to people today :) any ways my application is still waiting to be allocated and said that total procedure can take up to 6 months. I guess they only taking those cases who applied first or second wee...
Well, same here....apparently the process begins once they charge your bank account. But in my case, I didn't receive ack letter and I called them; the gentleman I spoke to said not to worry if I didn't get one as long as my bank acct has been charged that the process is on. So now I'm waiting for t...
Type of Application:Marriage 2+1 YEAR ILR Method:Postal Date of Application:11th March Account Debited:17th March Acknowledgement letter:22nd March Decision:15th April(informed over the phone today) Approval letter:Yet to be dispatched. Date of Ceremony:TBA. Best of luck to those still on the queue...
Well, I fell to the temptation of calling HO today largely due to the fact that I'm yet to get ack letter 3 weeks after the money was deducted from acct. Yea, was told case is yet to be assigned to case worker...and can't tell whether ack letter has been sent or not.....yah all see why I've resolved...
waoo, these 2 got the approvals and they applied in March, but don't forget guys around 200-250 people apply every day and only a small fraction comes here and give us their time lines so we can not judge the HO speed based on only couple of applicants time line. I hope HO will try to clear some ba...
sherlypk , you have been waiting for long time now :shock: have you tried calling them, looks like every day new people are joining the waiting club. Yep, and no one leaving to join the decision club......what more can we all do but wait for 6months! Maybe by September, they would have processed al...
Do you know if they do a credit check,(I am sure they do) no, they don't do any checks visible via Credit Reference Agencies firstly, to perform credit check you would need to give a permission secondly, you don't apply for credit related product thirdly, why would they be interested in your relati...
One of the reasons for the delays could be the training the case workers had to go through prior to the new rules kicking in on the 6th of April. I think the caseworkers are not segregated into fixed teams, so have to be aware of all the new immigration rules. I could go on speculating on the reaso...
If 'waiting to be allocated' and 'waiting for checks' is the same thing, than perhaps UKBA is now conducting enhanced checks for Naturalisation applications which were not conducted before. Maybe this is the backdoor for the conservative govt to tighten the naturalisation process. That is plausible...
