That's great and good to see how busy it has been. Can you add December in as well, it doesn't seem like there have been many applications in that month (says the person impatiently waiting on a December application...) :roll:

Hi Akkylom,

When I applied at Newcastle NCS, I asked the lady who took my application the same question. She said that as long as I have some at home who can receive UKBA letters in case if they need more information then it should be OK and I can travel at any time.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards

Ash

Good morning, I intend to travel out of the country this week, but my naturilisation application was received by home office since 19th of Nov.2013, this is confirmed thru. Post office tracking record. My question is that the money have not be taken since neither acknowledgement letter from them, but a friend mentioned that I have to be in the country during processing. I need your sincere advice about this b4 I travel whether is true or not.
Thanks.
Akkylom

Hi djafar007,

Just managed to find that the email address is .gsi not qsi, resent it and just received an acknowledgement email stating that they should respond within 2 business day, I hope that they'll get back to me!

Once more thanks a lot.

Kind regards

Hi djafar007,

Tried emailing nationalityprogress@homeoffice.qsi.gov.uk, however the email address is not working as I got this failure message:

This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification.

Delivery to the following recipients failed.

nationalityprogress@homeoffice.qsi.gov.uk

I'll try the phone number on Monday and see how it goes, thanks for your help.

Kind regards

Ash

BIT TOO LATE FOR THE ADVICE BUT I THINK THE BEST WAY TO SPEED UP YOUR PAYMENT WAS TO CALL THEM AND MAKE YOUR PAYMENT OVER THE PHONE

Well you probably only set yourself back a few days if the letter was dated 19/12.

On the plus side, at least you know someone is looking at it.
