Hi,

It looks strange, my fee has not yet been debited nor I have received any confirmation yet. The home office received my application on 5th Aug and today it is 12th aug (RM Tracking). Looks very strange, I tried to figure out the time line from Jan - Jul time line posting. It looks like every month the average waiting time is increasing and now it is average around 3 months.

dks 100, it looks from the June/July threads that it was taking a week or more for the fees to be debited from accounts after receipt of documents, so you should be seeing that soon. I'm trying to get myself to forget about my application (not succeeding with that yet). At this rate we should have some shiny new passports for Christmas (or maybe even for my birthday in late November).

kt1mc, you are right, it looks like today they have debited fee as the available credit limit of my cc has gone down roughly about fee value. Possibly cc statement will be updated in a day or two. I will update my time line on receipt of acknowledgement.

It took a while for the money to come off. I think we might be in for a bit of a wait on everything...

Hi All,
Based on the previous threads it appears to be currently the average time to process any application is approx. 65 workdays. Although there are some exceptional where actual processing days were outside this average time limit.

I have updated the tracking sheet with Expected Date column (based on average 65 working days). It is a very rough estimate so that people in this forum could have some idea about processing time line. The expected date is just guideline and not any official figure, In reality it may be less than 65 work days of more. When we come closure to time line and some of us will receive approval than we would make another calculation for no of days for application processing which should be more accurate than this.

This dashboard information has been collected from the current forum "August 2014 - Naturalisation Application Timeline" as posted by various participants in this forum. I will try to update this dashboard weekly or fortnightly to know our progress for Aug 14 application timeline.
