Nothing mate, still waiting.

Sending some supporting evidence wouldn't hurt. Thanks, I'll go to my old sixth form college to get evidence that I was resident in the UK from Sept 2012 - March 2013, but I'm having troubles thinking of evidence to provide from July-Sept 2012. I was on summer holidays and did not work during this ...

Sorry to bump this up again, but should I send supporting documents to the home office that I was here during that 8 month period before they ask for it, or should I wait to see if/when they contact me?

I hope so, I guess I'll wait and see.

I've already sent off my naturalisation application in January 2014, and I had my passport from july 2007-2012 where it expired. I then got an extension on March 2013 to March 2015. Could you please advise if I should have proved evidence of being in the UK for this time? I never thought about it, a...

People like you disgust me. You were born there, are you so embarrassed of being of a Pakistani origin? How would you change the place of birth section on your passport which says YOU WERE BORN THERE. How will you get rid of your Pakistani accent? Don't act stupid and keep it, nothing wrong with ha...

I tried to ask about the process as man...

^ lol i dont think applicants are supposed to call them before the 6 month period anyway. But nonetheless I think their info is limited to when they receive an application and when (if at all) it has been transferred for a different check (but they dont know where exactly) and when a decision has b...

There is no standard time for my application.

I already have a Certificate of Registration since 1995 and requested the HO to amend the spelling of my name on it.

Ah I see, best of luck!

I don't understand what an MP will do when it has not yet been 6 months?
