Pfftt I applied on 1st of May and still waiting :/

I'm not sure why people are saying that you should wait for the acknowledgment letter. Your naturalisation application is completely different to your indefinite visa or any other visa you hold. Since (I'm guessing) you already have ILR and not submitting your original documents by using NCS, you ca...

Might as well, you got nothing to lose. Applied on the 14th of may...still waiting:( application was straight forward ive been living in UK for nearly 10 years and ive never gone anywhere out of country! Never been in trouble with the police ...I ring them every 2-3 weeks and always get told your ap...

He's bullshitting you tbh. The staff at contact centre do not know what's actually happening with the application. The only information they have available is whether a letter sent out to you or not. They don't even know what's in the letter too. Best to write to them & your MP and if you want to ca...

I won't hold my breath on it tbh. Them telling you that you still have 10 days left just means that. After you've gone past 6 months deadline they'll just tell you to write to naturalisation team and that's it. They won't book a call back or give you a new timescale. Also, the way it's going nowdays...

I have the same feeling that they just randomly tell you whatever comes in their mind first. Mostly they try to use the logic that if you're calling then it means you haven't received your approval yet so it's safe to just tell you that it's under progress. I have tried asking them when they receive...

No you don't need to take your daughter with you. I had both applied for both my kids passport using fast track after MN1 and they didn't go with me.

Thank you Mate,i am getting hot and ....just waiting to the time to complaint...application received on 8th May,applied after 5 year of ILR no fault/complaint/parking.....etc. Living in this country since last 11 years...and both husband and wife employed in NHS jobs....Home office looks like full ...

I think for our last bunch of applications we will have to send a letter to our MP and get this progressed as i have seen few cases where after 6 months there was no response and once the email from MP was send the application was processed in couple of weeks time i am hoping we dont have to go dow...

Spoke to them yesterday after I crossed the 5 months period. Still the same 6 months crap. I asked them why is it taking this long and they didn't have any idea nor that they know if it's with a caseworker or not. They confirmed that it's not a first come first serve basis so I'm guessing they just ...

really annoyed as i got told a few days ago that its with a caseworker and i havent heard anything since :,( Unless a caseworker himself told you it was with them then I'd trust them, otherwise the customer services don't know anything about the application. They only know when you applied and if/w...

Royal mail second class non recorded.

Saying that it's pissing me off would be an understatement. Just heard from a friend who applied mid July and got his approval and even have applied for his passport a couple of weeks ago. This is pure nonsense! I swear if it gets past 6 months timeline then the person picking my phone up would have...

One thing is for sure, I won't call them till my 6 months wait is over and if I still don't hear from them then I'll sure let them know their worth. It'd be an interesting conversation and will largely be one sided.

omerGB, indimarshal , [iD] are you guys still waiting ? I think the time we applied is very close the the time when they sent the team to Passport office to clear the backlogs, so probably they assigned our case to someone who is still in the passport office or went on holiday and they are not both...

No updates for me

Applied on the 1st of May, called today after seeing a lot of others getting their approvals, only to be told that it's currently in progress and can take up to 6 months...
Oh well

I applied on the 2nd April, still I've never heard anything! Just it can take up to 6 months and very rarely goes over 6 months. I guess it will come when it comes, there's no point being concerned as they have never written asking for anymore details, so inshallah it will come when ready. We will ...

82 days here too. Not entirely sure what's happening tbh. When I call, sometimes they tell us that it's with caseworker and sometimes they just say it's not with a caseworker, and that's when some senior caseworker or someone call you back. Sleep on it, it's the best advise I can give to everyone in...

From what I know, she doesn't need to apply for citizenship as she already is British since she was born after you received your ILR.
You can apply for her passport straight away.

Theresa May ordered hundreds of staff to move from UK Visas & Immigration to the Passport Office, as this leaked letter to MailOnline revealed, to help clear the backlog. But unions said the move would leave other areas short staffed. Britain's beleaguered Passport Office is to be given 100 more st...

ID Please don't think I am stupid, I do know what the councils job is. All I am merely stating is what I have been told, she is contact with the caseworker who is working on my husbands application, and was chasing it up for me. For all the negativity I will be leaving the forum as I have found it ...

Marie1981, I'm guessing by NCS you mean Nationality Checking Service at your local council office. If that's right then they have nothing whatsoever to do with any decision making when it comes to naturalisation applications. They have two jobs, 1) Get your documents, photocopy them and send them ov...

I called in as well and was told that my application is still under consideration and no decisions as yet.
So even if they take decision tomorrow, I'll have to wait at least more than a week as letters take that long to deliver after being printed.
Oh well...let's just wait
