Re: Is a PR enough or would additional evidence be required?

No additional proof is required. As long as 1 year have passed since you acquired the PR you should be fine!!

Re: HO post April 2015 stats?

They couldn't have made it more confusing!! For example...Quote: "There were 112,407 decisions about British citizenship, 40% fewer than in the previous year (188,910). Correspondingly, there were 42% fewer people granted British citizenship (-75,908 to 105,043). This was the lowest annual figure si...

Re: CCJ after Naturalisation Application

Spoke to a couple solicitors and wrote a letter to HO. I informed them of the change of circumstances and that the CCJ is being taken care of. Called the HO and they told me that I did the right thing and that it shouldn't have any negative effect on the outcome...providing that everything else is i...

Re: May 2015 Naturalization Application TIMELINE ONLY

On 27th August, HO will have to publish the applications data for April-June, so I bet we will see the first approvals this week or next. They will need to show that some progress has been made. Fingers crossed!!

Should I write to HO with an explanation? Or wait if they will ask for one? I fear delays, or even worst...refusal!!

CCJ after Naturalisation Application

Hi,

Just got an alert about a CCJ added to my name 2 months after I submitted my application.

I will call the court and make arrangements of course as I wasn't aware of it, but will it have an adverse effect on my application?

Any advise would help.

Thank you.

May 2014, there were approvals even in June. I wouldn't be shocked. There are only about 40 timelines here out of total 4000+ applications.

Re: Naturalisation application processing timelines (only)

General info about applications can be requested at http://www.whatdotheyknow.com Home office will never disclose the specifics of the process of your application. If they do, it means that they are requesting additional clarifications. When they do, you will know. In the meantime, sit tight and try...

Re: May 2015 Naturalization Application TIMELINE ONLY

February and March being processed now!! Bearing in mind, there were 11710 applications in March 2015 alone. Some ~3000 applications more than usual.

April and May hopefully no later than August. Fingers crossed. Keep your mind off it. Worrying won't help you.

Re: May 2015 Naturalization Application TIMELINE ONLY

I was reading today posts from May 2014. Similarly, there was a backlog, immigration staff shuffle between departments, a strike, etc. First few applicants got their approvals on last days of June 2014, then nothing until August 2014. By then, approvals were happening very slowly still--1 every 1-2 ...

Re: May 2015 Naturalization Application TIMELINE ONLY

Realistically, I am expecting a reply late August early September. And I applied on 8th of May.

From the minute the caseworker starts dealing with an application, it shouldn't take them longer than a week. All personal info about applicants is a phone call away or it can be obtained online.

Re: Naturalisation application processing timelines (only)

I think it also has to do with how "simple" your case is...providing that the information you have given is accurate and doesn't contradict the official records. Even the slightest most irrelevant mismatch can cause unnecessary delays.
