The date of your NCS appointment is NOT the same as the date when HO receives your form. Confirm with the council that they send the documents off the day after and you should be fine. I've seen on here some councils holding on the forms for a few days.

Hmmmm I've never thought about this. I'm not sure if you need to. I'll research - great question!

Hope you get your approval soon. Good luck.

Wohooo Prairie... Do you have to then book the date?

Wow. That's interesting..I really thought they would all be the same.

Thanks T51820, Mine is totally different lols I thought they were all standard and the same :/ It seems your approval and invitation came as one. I just received Approval and it says Invitation to follow. Very strange that it is different but maybe it depends on the councils like some may be digita...

I've been following the previous months timelines and saw that quite a few people received their approvals soon after receiving the 3-6months letter. Have a look at the September 2014 - January 2015 timeline threads.

I've attached my approval letter to show what it looks like.

Hiya, I can't offer much help but I'm curious:

Did you provide your child's birth certificate and the father's naturalisation certificate to prove that he was a British citizen at the time of the child's birth?

I've made application for naturalization through Hackney council since 30th of March 2014, received knowledge letter dated 4th of April and my cheque was cashed a week letter. as I decided to find out why It was taking so long , I called the HO in October 6 months later, only to be told that I was ...

No, the approval letter says it could take 2 weeks; if nothing is received by then, I will contact them. Ok, my approval letter says "..please contact local authority within 21 days..". I know different local authorities operate differently but be mindful of the 21 days. It won't hurt to ...

Been 1 Week and 1 Day.

Still within the 2 Week Time Frame so continuing to be patient

Have you contacted the council?

I received my certificate on 10/03/2015, now husband applies. Went to NCS service in Aberdeen today. They did not take any application fee and told Home office will contact him directly to collect the fee. Is that new practice? We provided a page with card details from previous fee booklet, but adv...

Woohoooo! Our timelines are almost identical with processing times. Everything is the day after.

Congrats. xx

How are people getting their ceremonies within a day or two of the approval letters? My letter says I need to wait for the invitation before I can contact my council (my council does 2-3 ceremonies per week). I'm still waiting for my invitation letter. For me, I received the invitation letter the d...

Yes I do have ILR but cannot work as it is on an expired Passport. As this is my new job, all dbs applications have to be new and so my boss asked me to get citizenship We did go through all the other channels but were not successful. Your passport is expired, not ILR. You can simply go for a new P...

I am feeling so nervous it's unreal. It's really hard sitting waiting for my fee's to be deducted. I need my citizenship so I can start my new job, as my dbs can finally go through I am a carer, and sitting here means no income coming in. I understand what you mean. Whether you have anything to wor...
