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...
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...
Does anyone know how long it is currently taking from the time of application of BC with a NCS? I applied 6 December 2013 but have not yet even got a receipt confirmation nor have has my bank account been debited! You've got a while to wait. The HO is still on October applications. See here . Reali...
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.
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...
Guy please your advise is need here!!!! i first came to UK to visit my wife in 06/2007, let after a month and came again in 11/2007. In 12/2007 me and my wife went to marry in budapest after the marriage, we both returned together in 09/2008 and ever since then both of us are living and working in ...
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. If I'm still waiting when December approvals start...
Latest October fees table taken from posts to this forum: 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 people who've since also had ...
Latest approvals table: APPs = Applications that I have found in this forum thus far. APPROVED = Percentage of these applications that posters have informed us have been approved (rounded to nearest full percent) WEEK APPS (APPROVED) Aug 26-Sept 1 = 19 (89%) Sept 2-8 = 24 (83%) Sept 9-15 = 19 (95%) ...
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.
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...
