Re: November 2013 - Naturalization Application Timeline

Here is the fee deductions table for November in brief, after a big week for this. The percentage value represents the number of people who've informed us they've had their fees deducted as a proportion of the total number of people who've informed us of their applications. The percent includes peop...

Noticed my available funds reduced and called the bank. They confirmed that there is a pending transaction there for the fees. Updating my original post.

Re: Naturalisation application processing timelines (only)

A pleasure km25. The main thing is to always have someone willing to keep it rolling forward, because these things almost always grow out of posters' personal interest in monitoring applications in a particular period. As a mid-November applicant, I'm tracking as far as the end of November. I believ...

Re: Payment declined

The answer to this on previous posts has always been 'wait for the HO to notify you of the payment failure, then follow their instructions. If you supply alternative information sooner, you risk creating a bigger mess.'

Good to hear. This is the first news that November applications are now being looked at (though admittedly there are still a lot of late-Oct applications to get through).

I presume both you and the child currently reside in the UK. How old is the child and where was the child born? Was the child born before or after you got ILR?

Re: One quick query - AN application

I'm assuming from what you've told us that this would have been a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN). There is no need to declare PCNs unless the matter escalates to a court case due to non-payment.

Re: October 2013 - Naturalisation Application Timeline

There really isn't any point in people contacting the HO to chase things when it has only been a few months. There was obviously a huge backlog of applications submitted before the change in rules hence things will move more slowly. Chasing when its clear you aren't any different to other people ju...

Something definitely doesn't add up about the above timeline. adetaq, did you mean October instead of December? October would make sense.

Re: October 2013 - Naturalisation Application Timeline

Congrats. I have yet to see any new rule approvals. I am sure this will have now affect the ceremonies and passport applications timelines. There was one from October 29th - the only one we know of so far. It should be borne in mind, though, that there seems to have been as many applications in the...

Hi p2kin, Regarding payment taken, I have been charting this for October in a separate table in the October timelines topic. You can find it here . Once fee deductions start for November I'll create a November table here. The thing to bear in mind with averages like that is that you can have a fairl...

Hey desertlord, I can see why you were confused. The way that NCSs handle ceremonies can vary from one to the next. Hopefully after calling your NCS all will be clear. Congratulations on your approval.

Re: Invitation or approval. I am confused!!

The type of letter you get normally depends upon how you applied (direct application via post or through your council/NCS). This was the reason for my earlier question. As VR mentioned above, you now need to contact your council on the number that was provided and they will instruct you further. The...
