Based on this naturalisation applications (even though UK is not part of Schengen) for citizens of these countries might take longer as evi...

Re: October 2013 - Naturalisation Application Timeline

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...

Re: Anybody still waiting from beginning of October?

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 ...

Amber_ wrote:SET(M) [section 11] clearly states:

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.

Re: cohabitation documents for HOW LONG?

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 " si...

Re: Why it takes LONG time to approve HSMP/WP??

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 ...
