Hi Everyone, Anyone from August 2014 still waiting or its just me? Regards Not everyone waiting over a year will be on this forum, and even if they are they just may not wish to create account and communicate. The last time I've checked the FOI for last year's outstanding applications, it was about...

If we look back into the history the Nazi used to treat Jews in such manner at the beginning. I would be extremely chary of using such statements or comparisons. Such language on an online forum might be considered inflammatory and should be strongly deprecated at the very least. As regards UmmZ 's...

WOW! The Home Office didn't suspect anything until your husband applied for citizenship and asking for proof despite having 4 kids. If we look back into the history the Nazi used to treat Jews in such manner at the beginning. I'm very saddened to hear this story, this government is steering the coun...

I applied last year in August 2014, and still waiting.
Got local MP Involved twice, called several times but get the same answer.

Thanks Liz.

Guten tag Diana,

Home Office is very inefficient and writing to your local MP may help. Myself and many others are waiting over a year now. Hope you get your citizenship soon.

Thanks,
Siraj

Many thanks again CR001! I wanted to apply today to the land of the Immigrants but apparently my home country is on the ineligible list now. Just great

Yes, super slow. Both UKBA and Home Office are not run by the help of immigrants so it's well expected.

Hi, a quick advice please: I have been residing on address 'A' with my parents for last 7 years and all my mails, council tax, driving licence, passport is addressed here. 2014 Last year I have purchased a second property 'B' (same city) as an investment. and going to sell next year as I have almos...

Hi Average Joe, How did you get to find out about your case reference number? The initial confirmation letter of receiving your application has HO {Home Office but I call them HO from now, pun intended). That, along with dob helps your local MP to create a request which you can then track. Good luc...

Hi, After being fed up with over a year long wait for British Naturalisation I'm deciding to try my luck with the US where immigrants are not treated like Home Office does in the UK. How long does it normally take? I wonder if it'd be faster than British Citizenship. http://www.uscis.gov/green-card/...

Just thought of replying to help in case someone was in same situation as mine. My application was refused last year and I applied for reconsideration in Dec 14 and got approval on Oct 2015. My case was clear but somehow this caseworker are some new joinees. The case worker rejected my application ...

Hi there. I applied for British Citizenship on 19/05/2014. Got a refusal letter on 12/03/2015 (10 months later). Submitted a Reconsideration Application on 13/04/2015. It has now been over 6 months and no decision (no calls or letters from HO either). Frustrated... why were you refused? They said I...

We've had no issues with UKBA and all it's incarnations over the last 12 years WRT addresses etc and we've moved four times in the period. You just need to be methodical and organise yourself properly. Simples.... You may follow up on with all the methods and yet UKBA most likely not bother updatin...

Because both UKBA and Home Office are as incompetent as each other.

I'm surprised your first reaction wasn't utter outrage at the application fee DOUBLING to $6,800+ from $3,085 since last year. Why? Well not to process your application quickly. It takes 12-18 months. So why! To find additional intake of refugees into the country in 2017-18 . That's right - the gov...

@Simon you Sir, are full of endless information :mrgreen: Very informative and much educational indeed, thank you, thank you so much. I also have seem to have stumbled upon your old blog http://secretsimon.blogspot.co.uk/?m=1 :wink: You were to first person to look up my name, so cudos for that once...

They (Aussies) should be exempt from everything Casa. On the other hand, this brings up a very important question, namely: do they have a UKIP (perhaps it's called AuSIP) or a Scottish National Party (or perhaps Tasmanian National Party)??? No, and that is because Australia herself is run by nation...

From another Aussie here, we are all NOT like this!! I am currently applying for my BC via UKM and have accepted the fact that it will take 6 months. So with fingers crossed my approval will come to fruition by Feb 2016. I am so excited to become British and start a new life in the UK when this pro...

It appears that the Australian Government has gone all time low, in paying people smuggler, to return refugee, whiles arguing that they are saving lives and seeking to stop the people smuggling business. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-33110575 Bravo Deuutschland indeed, I'm thinking of l...
