Sandy, UKM and UKF applications are taking about 6 months right now, with a number going over that amount. I wish you the best of luck for a speedier response!SandraArchangel wrote:Hi all,
Can anyone please help me with a query? I am in the process of applying for my British citizenship and British passport. I have so far only submitted the UKM application. Yesterday i received my invitation to do my Biometric Enrollment which i will be doing on Monday the 2nd November 15. What i want to know is, how long do i need to wait now after it has been done to get an outcome (decision)? Both my sons are in the UK already and i so badly want to get to them. I am applying through my British mom and i was born before 1983. My boy's went on Ancestral Visa's. I really hope the waiting period will not be months and months. Has anyone recently done theirs? Once a decision has also been made, how long does the Passport portion of it take? how much time am i looking at more or less?
Thanking you in advance
Sandy
Nobody from the HO is going to call you, they will communicate via mail which is sent via 2nd class stamp. So takes even that little bit longer to get to you. You can change your landline provider without a worry about missing any calls from HO.Gabrielle72 wrote:Hello again guys..
For the duration of the application did anyone from the HO got in touch with you by phone? i want to change the provider for my landline and not sure what to do..
Thanks
