I don't know why it's taken so long to even deduct money from my account nor have I received the acknowledgement letter from UKBA. This application is for my wife and I had applied 2 months ago and it was a lot quicker as I got my Naturalisation certificate in 5 weeks. Anyone else who application is unusally delayed or haven't got the payment deducted.

I guess we are on the same dilemma

I wonder why they still haven't sent the acknowledgement.

[Ayyubi72]

I am just looking at a someone's acknowledgemnt letter. His HO reference number has since past years been always the same. Its format is A1234567.

But on this acknowledgement letter there is a toally different ref number.

It is NFE1112723. (not the acutal number btw)

All the records are tied together with your main ref number A1234567, but I think sometimes for some specific applications there is a different ref number.

When I applied for my SAR about 2 years ago, the reference number I got given for that application was totally different from my main HO ref number. It said in the letter that if I ever need to contact DPU, I should use the ref number given by DPU.

[Spidery_thread]

hi there,
I need some help, today I received a letter from BA asking me to provide my WRS documentation. I apply for naturalization in September.
Unfortunately all my certificates were lost or stolen 4 years ago. I provided a letter with all my registration numbers, couple of emails from BA from 2011 as a proof of my queries about getting new copies of WRS and my original blue cars UK Residence Documentation for a National of an EEA State.
I am in the UK since November 2004.
What do you think guys, are they going to refuse my application because of lack of WRS copy as a proof or they gonna check my details which I provided to make sure I was registered?

Are they going to refuse me?
Please help me.

Cheers

Please refrain from posting question here, however, the ceremony fee is included unless you choose a private ceremony.

[naijaman]

Sorry to bother you. I have applied for naturalisation and my account has been debited with the sum of £1,550. The confirmation letter says full payment. Will I still have to pay the ceremony fee to the council? Or is it still to the Home office? Thank you.
