I heard of a case that took 10 weeks and it was granted, but it was a pretty obvious mistake

I think its more to do with security checks. Its a well known secret that some nationalities do face more checks.

Can anyone confirm how much to pay for naturalisation i.e. Form AN. Is it £874 alone; or do you have to add an extra £80 for the ceremony fee? Thank you. unless, they have increased the price since July, it was £874 and that includes the ceremony; anyway, whatever the price is on the website, it in...

Good luck

Still waiting from 25th of June 2013. For some applications they are taking long. It probably a matter of luck whether you get a quick case worker or a slow less efficient one. I agree with you Sahib. We applied on a same date as some guy who had lots of unpaid bills, parking tickets, debt collecti...

I have a question please somebody help. I applied for citizenship through Ncs On 5th of July. Money was taken out of my Acc on 12th July. Been waiting ever since for acknowledgment or approval letter. Nothing But today I called Homeoffice and they told me decision had been made since 9th of July an...

How they measure complexity. I believe my application is a straight forward as I meet all the requirements. I do have got couple of parking tickets in the last year which I paid the fine on time . I have seen some getting approvals in 10 days with many fpns. I think it more down to the individual c...

yeah probably or some applications are more complex than others too

Interview went well, very relaxed casual chat... they do ask funny questions...so it may seem to us but they cannot be fooled.. Get it done... Yeah, I don't mind the questions, better than having my identity stolen; I just think that taking people's finger prints would be more effective, but other ...

Thanks for the reply. I have one questions which I have posted somewhere else but I still need clarification. I lost my passport a month ago and I was wondering how big a problem will it be. In the past year I have been out of UK for I think some 30 days but I am don't know the exact numbers and I ...

Congrats Derivaz, good to know no mistakes. You can wait until January for your passport as it does not make any difference to you, but then I would say just get it done now itself while you are in the citizenship spirit, also then you can tuck away the citizenship certificate safely. It just takes...

Dear members of the immigrationboards.com, this is an open invitation from Beebritish to join us for free drinks and wild celebration dance night party. A venue will be announced by Beebritish shortly. Derivaz will be the DJ in the house. Please stay tuned for further information no one mentioned f...

Very true Ayyubi, it even costs more. Derivaz, good luck for your ceremony. I got my certificate today; it looks correct; it was the surname and then the name (spelt right) and the council told me that's the normal format; so it looks like it's over. I asked about the passport and they told me to a...

... How can it be faster? They do nothing apart from putting everything in a plastic envelope and send it to HMPO. Most PO's wait 2-3 days so they have a few applications together to send. It is safer, cheaper and quicker sending the application by special delivery straight to HMPO. That's what I t...

If your application is straightforward, then there is no point paying £ 500. Naturalisation is the very easy application to make. NCS does not approve the application, they just check you meeet statutory requirement. If you can read and write english, you can fill up the form yourselves. Ask on the...

What check? That you have written your name on the form? What advice can they give you? There exists no advice that they can give you. For first passport after naturalisation the only documents that are required are uncancelled passport and naturalisation certificate. Apart from this, they cannot b...

Cool, keep all the receipts and then make a claim; let us know how you get on.
