March 2015 Naturalization application timeline

[britishenglish]

Yes I wrote to home office, leader of the opposition Ed milliband, and shadows home sectary. Just now I have received a email from the MP I whish to post in the form who were waiting for long like me would be helpful for them as well.

Thank you for your e-mail to Mr Blomfield.

Please see below the response we have received from the Home Office regarding your application for naturalisation.

‘Thank you for your telephone enquiry on behalf of Mr xxx about his application for naturalisation as a British citizen.

Naturalisation is not an automatic process and we have to make a number of enquiries before we can reach a decision on whether to grant citizenship. One of the requirements for naturalisation, set out in the nationality law, concerns good character. Character is not defined and a fairly broad view has to be taken when judging whether this requirement has been satisfied.

There will be further delays in making a decision on Mr xxxxxx application as further investigation into his background is required. We are investigating Mr xxxxxx for possible war crimes involvement, which, if sufficient evidence is discovered, would make him undesirable to acquire British nationality.’

We are unable to provide a timescale in which the investigations will conclude.

I am sorry not to be able to provide a more positive response at this time.

Yours sincerely
The above email is I received this afternoon.
Best wishes

Are you saying that if the applicant is Muslim then that alone justifies further checks of 'war crimes'?

I am sure you will receive it in few days . If you see last posts including mine so mostly ack letters dated on 10th but received after few days or even a week. So dont worry . Main thing is that they have deducted your fees so that shows that they have received your application. Best of luck .

If your money went through on 16th, you most likely get an ack next week. That said, money debited is good as is without the letter as letter merely confirms they have your application (you already know this), and your payment has already gone through (again you already know this)

Sit back and relax

Am a bit nervous as I had a court issue 3 points and £60 fine due to not being able to pay a speeding conditional offer because I was away with the army. I did my own subject access request anyway with acpo and found this was not on my criminal record anyway.

don't worry,

I will try not to. It's hard work waiting and am just starting.
