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...

It's almost as if every case worker at the NATIONALITY dept is on early summer vacation!

Anyways, we can be patient, we've come too far to give up out of impatience at the last hurdle......hold on guys, our approvals will surely come.....

I called the Home Office today. My application is still sitting in a corner, unloved and feeling dejected. Submitted on 14th March. Judging from the states here alone, over 80% of applications made in late Feb and March are still awaiting pickup by a caseworker. Not good enough considering the hund...

But i hope not to wait for long as I am the only non British in my family ( wife , kids are British ) and they are planing to go to Disney land Paris this summer and on my current nationality i have to wait up to 6 weeks for Visa to France. Ridi...

FerrariLondon I can understand your anxiety i also applied for naturalization in 1/03/11 through postal and got the decision on 18/03/11. By reading other posts i noticed many people are waiting for the decision. I wish you all the best and hope you receive your decision this week. Wow, that was su...

or should he apply for naturalization first and then his wife can apply for naturalization on the basis of being british citizen spouse? Can she still follow this route becuase 3 Years she spent in UK as depedent of HSMP not as Spouse of British Citizen? Yes she can, she can apply for BC as wife of...

This is the best option to save the wife having to wait 5yrs on her own application.

Remember If you used driver's licence as prove of ID for Life in The UK test you will be expected to include that driver's licence (counterpart + photo card) in your list of supporting documents.

Has anyone had or heard of cases refused due to council tax esp. those who lived in shared/rented apartments? I've sent in my application but I'm really worried about this. Maybe I should call all previous council where I lived and explain that the landlords included council tax within rent.....ser...

Is it alright if my LIUK test is reapired with Sellotape? Did you supply the certificate to get ILR? If so you do not need to supply it again. You merely need to tick the relevant box on the form AN. I don't think it is enough to produce the LIUK test certificate to get ILR then no need to give tha...

If only all the other departments of the HO was as efficient as their Nationality Directorate. And if only they were that efficient for everyone! I applied on the 1st of March, and nothing so far...

If I were you, I'll use NCS for peace of mind. At least your NCS personnel will photocopy it and return the sellotaped one for you.

Hi Guys,

just want to quickly ask here if 2009 test result is still valid for British citizenship application for March, 2011?

Probably is, just need someone to confirm so I can have peace of mind. Many Thanks

This question has been asked several times, but there are conflicting answers/opinions and I just want to make sure I'm doing the right thing here. For those who "switched" status while in the country, did you use the date on which the new visa was issued and the place for section 2.1 of Form AN? In...
