YES i think home office likes the passports of 10 years + ILR people that is why they take more time .... Lets hope for the best ... From what I can see, once you go past the 4 months mark, it means you application has been "forgotten/lost" :( Most applications appear to be processed in few weeks. ...

Sweet, please let me know when you find out if your certificate is at Leeds because I am in a similar situation to you. I might as well try calling the Barnet council tomorrow if you find your certificate at Leeds. Although I am not sure, but I see no reason why you shouldn't be able to apply for yo...

Thanks buddy... Although the wait is driving me nuts, I get comfort in that I am not the only one waiting, I know few guys have been waiting since September and August like Malik and Roney. Not to mention the others waiting for much longer like poor BlackHole and RonK. If I don't get mine by the end...

My approval letter date is 5th Feb. It says to contact the Leeds Register Office. I applied through the Leeds council as my local council, York, didn't have the requested appointment dates. I didn't choose Leeds in my application and the person at NCS Leeds also mentioned that my ceremony will be a...

Only me, chicona and manhuwa still waiting from October Eligibility criteria: WP(1yr) HSMP(2yr)+Tier1(3yrs) + ILR (1week) + BC spouse Method of application: NCS Date of application: 22 Oct 2012 Date of receipt by UKBA: NA Date of debit of fees: 26 Oct 2012 Date of r...

Hi alwaysintrouble, Thanks for this, I applied a week only after emmigrator123. The long wait is driving me bonkers :( In all honesty I don't mind my certificate being sent to Barnet or up north, I don't even mind travelling to Belfast or Aberdeen as long as it arrives soon :wink: It would be intere...

emmigrator123 my man... Congratulations. I also applied through NCS in Barnet in London but my local council is up north. I wonder if the same happened to me.

What is the date of your approval please?

Ok folks... it's been almost 3 and a half month and I am still waiting :( Roney, malik0073, chicona, emigrator123, rayanbest... any news from you guys? qaziji and 2s0e0p1, we met in the waiting club for the 10 year ILR club, are you guys still waiting for your approval? you both applied a week or so...

Ok thanks for the update.

I was thinking about sending an email next week but if they don't respond then I am not going to.

I know what waiting is all about, I applied back in October and I am still waiting to hear from UKBA (fees were taken within 5 days)

Here is a similar recent example of a poor guy who waited 4 weeks for his fees to be taken out

if !!strcmp('nationality directorate', 'NATIONALITY DIRECT')

call_delay_n_bigdelay();
return application(now);
}

This is brilliant. It made my day

don't worry vmain. Some people wait a month before their fees are taken out. Happy waiting!!

Which email address did you send to? was it
ukbanationalityenquiries@ukba.gsi.gov.uk ?

When you said "ignored", was is a case of literally no response? when did you email them?

I am still waiting too

Thanks for the update. I applied three days before you and still waiting. There are others still waiting from October, September, August and even last year

Hi rayanbest75,

Any news on your application buddy?

Ok thanks for your help mate!!

All the best

Thanks a lot SpokenHands! Yes I saw your other thread, I am sure this will be useful to many lost cases.

Just one final thing please, am I right in assuming that you waited 6 months from the date of your application before you made the complaint? so all in all you waited for 10+ months?

Thanks

Thanks for your adveise SpokenHands! Could you please give us more details about your experience? 1- I take it in both cases, you waited six months first? 2- After the six months, you made a formal complaint to UKBA? 3- They responded with a vague answer and no target date for a decision? 4- You saw...

Thanks for your best wishes mate!! I have only been waiting for over 3 months and the wait is killing me. Some applications are approved in a matter of 3-4 weeks while some people wait anything from 2 months to over a year as we can see here... I have been here for 11 years (all residance extensions...

\do not waste your money, you have already paid a lot of money, challenge them, remember right is not a gift, ask for your right. the law says you have the right to become a British Citizen if you fulfill the criteria, you said you don't see why they should not grant you, so challenge them. we shou...

Yes, the fresh application sounds interesting... I don't know anybody who waited longer. There is a process for writing a petition to the queen directly. The Home Office has a procedure for dealing with such petitions Don't know if anybody tried this process before. The Home Office can still not giv...

Thanks mate... I know other people have been waiting for longer than me as well

I hope the wait ends some time this month!!

Oh I am sure there are lots of other people waiting from October and before. but only us 4 on this forum.

The wait is driving me crazy too. We can only sit and wait

manhuwa any news?

Another one from the October club below chicona, manhuwa and emmigrator123 looks like we are the last men/women standing from the club!! emmigrator123 just updated the main timeline, I am still waiting too. Any news from you guys chicona & manhuwa? After a relatively long wait, I can now post my det...

Thanks Roney... I hope you get yours too. You've been waiting for almost twice as long as me!!

Fajr, were your referees contacted by the way?

Congratulations fajr... I applied under the same category as you, only a week after you as well. My application is very straight forward too but still waiting

I am hoping to hear back before the end of February!!
