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...

And just on the subject of beloved, that the Australian commentator falsely accused the poster of alleging the article to point out, i would urge you to explore the internet about what beloved really is, which are the governments and groups of people who actually wanted to make it legislation for c...

Crikey aussiegoin4it you're a very angry person. I haven't read one positive comment in your 11 posts! We've had complaints about 'beloved' against Australia, complaints about 'illegal' immigrants and asylum seekers, complaints about other members' BC applications being decided ahead of yours, comp...

Thanks Liz!

I wonder if people actually realise that countless complaints, letters, emails and phone calls are counter productive? Imagine there are 100 case workers, if the customer service asks each case worker for an update for every mail, including duplicates, they would use the 8 hrs per day just going ba...

Thanks liz79, I've applied for my SAR report. Let's see if my records all clean, I'll complaint every week after that.

Hi kkb,

I'm also waiting since September 2014.

Regards,
Siraj

I'm waiting for almost 14 months. The excitement has long worn off, wonder how many years they'd take to decide.

Hi This is an excellent way to tell you that we are lazy and useless turds and won't be able do the job in time. This is what it clearly means. Just don't worry life won't end any where. I bet you were living before your bc and you'll live the same life after this as well. Good luck for BC. keep us...

Congratulations!

I wrote to UKV1 on 10 June re their refusal of my husband's application for British Citizenship due to the good character requirement (supposed breach). My issue is that at the time we applied i.e. August 2014, he would've been granted citizenship on those guidelines but they obviously changed the ...

Just to give an update I have now received my British passport and still have my foreign passport which is valid in a different name.

Sorry.

Hi can anyone help, I am confuse for neutralization how much clean history is needed?? 5 years or 10 years ???? Thanks in advance! Castration is not a requirement for citizenship.

Still holding thumbs for Siraj that you get a decision soon, especially after your MP received the letter :) Have a good holiday and relax, hopefully a little brown envelope on your door mat when you get back. Char I really hope so, thanks for keeping fingers crossed. This has been a journey far to...

You will only receive an approval letter and then the invitation to the ceremony (sometimes it can be one letter combined). You will have 21 days within which to book the ceremony and you have to attend the ceremony within 90 days. You will only become British (naturalised) once you have attended t...

Hi all,

What happens if you're away on holiday for two weeks and you're naturalised whist away?

Is there any deadline for example to attend the ceremony within 30 days?

Many thanks,
Siraj
