No news yet but be honest i am not expecting anything soon. I am waiting for 24th april when it will be six months and then i can ask my mp/lawer to write. My friend applied in early jan and got approval today. Its very tactical to have the 6 months clause, so we dont question their services any ea...

Even if for "HIGH RISK" countries, what kind of extra check they do? any one knows?

Schengen countries classify these countries as high risk. Visa processing for these countries requires extra checks which add 2-3 weeks to the processing time. Based on this naturalisation applications (even though UK is not part of Schengen) for citizens of these countries might take longer as evi...

The letter was dated 04/02/2014 and received today. I am so glad and praying for all of my friends of this forum that they will ge...

Looking at the above and November approvals it seems that the situation is sort of reversed for oct applicants (more people at HO seemed working on November onwards that is why it is taking longer for oct applicants. Yet again just to make ourselves at ease I think the bar needs changing from 6-7 w...

for some weird reason HO seems to hate HSMP applicants. HSMP applicants are always punished with moving goal posts, raising bars in the middles, introducing news criteria and what not. Now in naturalisation application, they tend to approve the hsmp applications as late as possible :twisted: If you ...

The dates of the letters or documents should spread over the whole 2 years. They should be from at least 3 different sources

Whereas SET(O) asks from the last extension up to a max of 2 years.

Thanks for clarification and I apologise for the confusion.

Did you actually read what I stated at all or not bother? Especially where I said the form is SET(M) not (O)! I did read whatever you wrote few times. Not sure what I am missing. I didn't ask anything about which form she needs to fill or anything. I simply asked, we need to submit documents for ho...

If she switched to FLR(M) then the form she needs to complete is SET(M) not SET(O) and cohabitation proof is, for roughly every 4 months of the last 2 years, a joint letter or a letter each from a total of at least 3 different sources. Thanks for reply Amber. So, even though the form says " since y...

Hi friends, My wife will need to apply for her ILR. She entered uk on October 2011 with Tier-1 dependent visa. Then I got ILR on September 2012 and she then switched to spouse of settled person visa on September 2012 just few days after I got ILR. Now the question is, for how long I will need to sho...

It's taking a long time for everyone. When did you apply? I know its taking long time for every one as there is huge backlog. But if you compare the approval list, you will see very few people from hsmp/wp got approved in October. I would say roughly only 5% of total approval!! I was trying to find...

Hi friends, Just wondering, if any one has any idea, why on earth it takes longer to approve application from hsmp/wp holder. If you check October time line or any other time line, you will notice, people with spouse, eea, long residence etc get quicker approval than HSMP/WP. WHy is that? What more ...

There is absolutely no rules or process what so ever for dealing with naturalisation application. HO does whatever they feel like
