What does it say on the Royal Mail page when you try to track it?

Royal Mail recorded 2nd class is really crap. Once I received after 3 WEEKS! It's really slow! I only use Special Delivery nowadays.

Your application is really recent.
Have they deducted the payment yet? And have they sent the acknowledgment letter to you?

Fabio, you don't need to transfer the ILR to the new passport, and also, as you will become British citizen, your visa will be irrelevant.

That's very strange for IMMIGRATION LAWYER to say that the application must be withdrawn. One would expect a lawyer to know at least what's written on the UKBA page!

I received a similar letter to check the details (when I requested my passport back). Seriously. You are in the good track! In a few days you will have your approval! I know it's difficult to wait. But I am sure you will be alright! Please post here once you have your approval!

If your caseworker requested the docs it's good, so at least they will consider and not deny straight away. Try to see this as something positive. Soon you will receive your approval!

Fabio, It's better if you make a postal application instead of using NCS. The thing with NCS is: you may have your appointment even in the morning, but maybe they dispatch the documents at the end of the day when they gather all the other applications. And note that posts sent after a certain time, ...

Fabio, Did you stay only 1 day then, before going back home? Technically I think you can apply as long as your application reaches HO on the 5th or 6th of April. Better not to use NCS as you never know when they will forward the application. Better to apply with Special Delivery. In which category a...
