Hi desertlord,

This certainly looks like your approval. Can you remind us of your application timeline, including the method of application you used?

Yes, based upon the information you've given you would both be eligible.

What is the age of the child?
Was the child born in the UK?
If not, how long have they been in the UK?

What form of settlement do you have? Was it ILR?
and what is the immigration status of the child's mother?

If you are going to use the NCS then by all means take it to them unglued and let them do the craft work. A bit of glueing to earn their appointment money ...

It does say glue, but I wondered this too, since it had been different other application types, so I took my photo unglued to the NCS appointment saying I couldn't find a gluestick.
The NCS checker glued it for me, so clearly the HO are expecting it glued.

Hi rikken, To be honest there isn't much incentive for me to do December at the moment. Firstly, there isn't much of a story to tell on it yet and secondly I'm a mid-November applicant, so I've only been collecting the raw data up to the end of Nov.

A pleasure missnorush! I applied only 3 days before you did, so let's see. For my own application I'm retaining hope of getting a decision before the end of January. That's probably a best case scenario for a mid-November app right now.

They don't need to be a professional, but if not then they must be over 25 years of age. Either way they must hold a British passport.

I have posted my application of British Citizenship and tracking shows it has been received on 26th October 2013, but I haven't received acknowledgement of receiving it. It has been more than 2 months. On UK Border website, it says "it will take 4 weeks to receive acknowledgement letter", what shou...

What is the average time of approval these days? Most of the more 'recent' approvals from the past few days have been those received by the Home Office around October 22-23. Fee deductions currently being taken from Oct 25 applicants. Everything is very condensced around that week due to the sheer ...

Fees vary as well, so if you have a few NCS services within reach (e.g. if you live in London) you can pick on price.

Fingers crossed!!

Now that'd be something ...

For the record, what the HO are looking for there is the case reference number from any previous application you have made along your route to citizenship. When you made a previous application for a visa or for ILR, it would have been on any letter that you received from the HO regarding it. As ment...
