There was a small goof up during my documents verification . I was applying for registering my daughter (form MN1 -- birth in UK) as well along with my naturalisation. In the reference and identify section one of the referees wrote as 'Son of Work Colleague' instead of 'Daughter of Work colleague'. The NCS coordinator called someone to check what needs to be done and i was asked to write in the additional comments section that it has been mentioned incorrectly. Hope it wont be a problem..however fingers crossed!!!

Hi guys, just a quick question: does the letter of acknowledgment is delivered by a letter that requires a signature?
I've received a missed letter/parcel notification last 24th July and now I'm worried as the fees have not been deducted yet as of today 26th July.

I have to wait till Monday to collect it.

Any similar experience?

Many thanks

The acknowledment letter doesnt require a signature and comes in 2nd class mail.
It arrives a couple of days after the fee is taken.
Good luck

Hi Abososo,
Thank you for your prompt clarification. Do you happen to know that if the Home Office request more docs or information, is the notification sent by normal post or it requires a signature? Just to have a peace of mind...

Many thanks

The acknowledgement or notification letter comes in normal 2nd class letter which does not require a signature. As for additional info or documents this is very rare especially that you have used NCS who must have been happy to accept your application, photo copied all required documents and then forwarded everything to the Home Office.
All what you can do now is wait and keep busy.

Thanks a lot for the infos. Yes, I have used NCS. What I can think of is that the payment could not be processed...I will keep you posted. I am worried because I am not waiting for anything to be delivered by signed mail... till Monday then.
