I have this terrible feeling that in order to get the processing times back on track, the HO will give priority to the applications received after the fee rise and the applications received before the fee rise will be kept on the back burner and processed at a slower rate. Good thinking tintin, but...

Hi everybody! I have applied through NCS on 17.03.2011. Like everybody who applied in 2nd or 3rd week of march I was hoping to hear form the HO very soon. I've just phoned them and my case has not been looked at yet :( Once again they said it can take up to 6 months. It looks like waiting times are...

I posted my application on 4/5/11 via 1st Class Recorded. I was expecting it to reach them the next day or the 6/5 at latest. WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG?! Just a note saying that the tracking website shows that it has been delivered today. Today is the 10/5/11. I left the country on 10/5/2006 (at 20:...

Just another query: what date shall I use for question 2.1 - Enter the day you first arrived with a view to staying in the UK on a long-term basis.

Many thanks.

Put Sept 2002 when you first arrived.

There's been only one approval this week on this forum. Hope it gets better next week.

What options did you choose when you tried to ring? Choose options as if you have already applied and then you should be able to speak to someone.

Hello, Following is my history: Sept 2002- April 2007: Student visa (applied in UK) April 2007- April 2009: HSMP (applied in UK) May 2009 - May 2010: Teir 1 General dependent (applied out of UK) May 2010 - May 2011: ILR (Granted with my husband who qualified under HSMP JR) Would I qualify for Natur...

So at the present time I can expect a waiting time of about 8 weeks yeah? Judging from some of the most recent timelines. Shame that I was only able to apply now then, as they seemed to be 3 weeks only back in January :( Just a question, if anything in the form is unclear or I forgot to specify, wi...

who?? wrote:thanx lionking007 i did manage to finally get through and was told my application " was in a queque" and reminded the waiting time is 2 to 6 months!!!

When did you apply and under what criteria?

Nothing special about my application at all. The Guide AN indicates there can be an interview, possibly at the applicant's home. So I just wanted to check if anybody had such an experience, an dwhat questions to expect, etc. Dont worry. You are very very unlikely to be interviewed if there is nothi...

Hi Tintin, my son's name spills little bit differnt from mine ( one letter is written E instead of I) and they wanted to double check if this is ok and they told me that it would be written as on the passport if the application would be successfull, I think they are very busy with alot of applicati...

jandana, you will have to be very careful with your ILR application.

This whole episode involves dishonesty and they clealy say that any incidents involving dishonesty will not be ignored.

You must clear this matter before applying for ILR.

IanK, please keep us updated.

Thanks Krazydude and Kushmedhta, thats what i suspected, she will have to apply from India only. I will ring the Swiss Embassy to double check. Will post the update here.

1. Did anybody have a interview at her/his HOME as part of the Citizenship application process? what kind of questions should one expect? 2. Did anybody have an interview at her/his HOME as part of the Passport application process? Thanks! Have you been told that you will be interviewed or is this ...

Hello Amit, I would advise that you call them to discuss your situation. There might be a simple way out.

Have you asked her health visitor?

Hi Goody, what type of details did they ask you to check? Were these regarding address or something? Did they ask for any further information?
