He laughed and said "I understand that you want to sort it asap, that's totally understandable. We will decide it before 6 months"
He didnt say within 6 months, he said before 6 months! I just hope he didnt mean that famous "within 6 months" thing
Good luck Yeah, he seemed really nice. I hope he is being nice with my case aswelltulip11 wrote:Lucky you !

Actually I have requested a call back too, they said caseworker will call within 72 hours but it has been almost a week no call yet. How long it took you to recieve a call and was that a private number?ironmaiden wrote:Had a call today from HO as I requested a call back to double check if my updating the address request received.

Well, they didn't call me within 72 hours either. Then I called HO again and said I have never received the call. Then she took my details again and said she's gonna put a note saying high priority and will receive the call within 48 hours. I got the call before 24 hours after having that conversation. And yes it's private number.Fykes wrote:Actually I have requested a call back too, they said caseworker will call within 72 hours but it has been almost a week no call yet.

Call HO again and tell them it's been more than 72 hours and never received a call.

Hi,Buzz bee wrote:Hi all,
If there comes a situation like soon after I receive my approval, I have to travel to my mother country. And I haven't even booked my ceremony by then. I travel with my non-british passport. And get back here and finish of the ceremony and pp application.
Is this legal and nothing to put me off?
Please advise.
You should carry your naturalisation certificate with you because one member mentioned that once your naturalisation is approved your biometric card stops working. So with out the certificate you may have a problem.Buzz bee wrote:Thank you Fykes for the swift reply
yes applied 9th march still waitingStill.Waiting wrote:Applied 27th March and still waiting. Anyone applied around same time received their approvals yet?
It seems the process has halted now for some reason although HO had the ball rolling quite well last month and before!

I'm 27th March applicant too and waiting for the approval, I'm traveling back home next month although I was hoping the I might travel with my British passport but the chances are very remote now....yesterday I got a brown envelope and got exited that I've got what I was expecting but unfortunately that was a letter from newham council.Still.Waiting wrote:Applied 27th March and still waiting.

Hi, I have just recived my brown envelope today with approval.Still.Waiting wrote:Seems like no one has received approvals in awhile ... Not sure what the hold up is?! I think straight forward cases should be decided asap! Its a shame really how many peoples lives are effected by HO, where is the accountability for that?
was your case a spotless straight one?
