Naturalization queries

Post by Absolutecleargirl » Sun Feb 26, 2023 7:03 pm

Hi all,
Has anyone recently submitted their application for naturalization in UK ? If so, could you please share your experience on the following 1) how soon did you receive the original documents submitted (when did they return the documents) and 1) how roughly how long did it take to receive the approval and certificate ?
Many thanks

You don’t submit any original documents. You just scan and upload.
Processing target is 6 months, could be anywhere from 2 months on to sometimes beyond the 6 months.
This is just my opinion as a member of this forum and does not constitute immigration advice.
Please do not send me private messages asking for advice.

Did you receive your documents after the application was approved or within 10-14 days of attending the appointment or at the appointment itself ?

Asking this as i am travelling out of UK in april and i plan to submit my naturalization application next week. Wondering when will i get my indian passport back

Many thanks

As already advised, no originals are submitted. You apply online and upload your documents digitally.

Please DO NOT send me a PM for immigration advice. I reserve the right to ignore the PM and not respond.
