Very worried that there are almost zero reports of people applying through this method having received a response. Before this service, it seemed there was an average of 6 weeks. I appreciate the holidays might've impacted this, but having read only a single case from November being approved seems ...

Dear all, Hope you are all well. I applied for Naturalisation on the 8th of November. I am from Pakistan and I suffer from anxiety. I was under the impression that people normally hear back within 6 to 8 weeks. I am now entering the 10th week. Anxiety has gone through the roof. I am overthinking an...

So I had my appointment yesterday. I used one of the core centers so the appointment was "free". I had already uploaded my documents so they had to just check it. Once I got there had to wait around for a bit and then they took my biometrics. After that they called me to one of the booths, checked ...

I am trying to get Absence letters from all my previous employers. one of my previous employers is not responding to my call or email. what needs to be done if I am not able to get the letter? any alternative to absence let...

During early 2018, I was caught speeding and since my record was clean, I was given the option of attending a Speed Awareness Course which I did and the fine was therefore never imposed. Should I have included/disclosed this in the application? If you were not given any fixed-penalty then you don't...

It is the date of online application. Yours will most likely be refused as you do not meet the presence requirements.

I feel the same. Well Unfortunately I cnanot do much.

Home office received the case today that means I am literally short by one day qualifying period. But then I was no in the UK until 11th Jan 5 years back ! I cannot believe I made this mistake. Well lets see if I get good case worker or not otherwise £1300 will be wasted ! Wait, you haven't been in...

If it is just a matter of the ILR acquisition being out of date by a day, it is highly likely (not certain though) that they will exercise discretion, provided you meet all other requirements. Home office received the case today that means I am literally short by one day qualifying period. But then...

HO procedures do not allow to waive the requirement of physical presence. It is not "HO procedures", it is the law. Section 1(2)(a) of Schedule 1 of the British Nationality Act 1981 lays down the physical presence requirement. Section 2 lists the requirements that discretion can be exercised regard...

when did you apply and pay online? I thought the date of application would be the date you attend your appointment as if you have purchased additional services like documents check etc would be pointless if UKVI have already started looking at the case. I applied and paid online few days back but a...

Hi I applied online using new SOPRA service. I thought the date of application would be the date i submit the documents but I received email today about case ID being allocated. Today is 7th Jan now I was issued ILR on 8th Jan 2018. Does that mean even if I submit documents on 14th Jan 2019 the appl...

Just to update everyone. For the warning : I dialed 101 and spoke to the police. They have confirmed it wouldn't go on to my record unless I had failed the check like didn't have Insurance or MOT. Even then they would issue me something. This does not go on police record just because you are stopped...

He just gave a verbal warning, i.e. don't do it again? Did they type something into their system or write something down? There's nothing to go by - I think it's not an issue. If you are really worried write it up, but you are essentially writing down something from memory - I wouldn't bother. yes ...

Hi, I am applying for naturalization. Recently I was stopped by the Police as they said I had under took them. Well I explained them that it was not my intention at all and I moved in the left lane as it was my route. Obviously they were satisfied and ran some check on my car and it was all good. Th...

I have attended my appointment for document verification and biomatric on 25th Nov at UKVCAS Belfast.
