nah its very simple straight forward . I got ILR in 2013 November and applied for naturalization in March 2015 because I had traveled due to family reason and the days were more than 90 days so I waited for few months and when i was applying so by then the days were reduced to 54 during last 12 months from the date of application.

Has anybody's fees been taken today? Application
reached Home office on 19 March n no fees taken yet...

[cinared]

No fees taken either ... must be due to backlog of people applying before the new fees. Hopefully they wont make me pay more since the application been with them since last week.
