Naturalisation application processing timelines (only)

[saanju9]

hi i will apply for naturalisation by the end of july.
about this 10 year employment page is it good to send all 10 year p60s with application. i know there is no requirment but just to save case worker time rather then contacting HMRC they will be having all proof in their hands.what do u sggest???

Don't need to send anything which they haven't asked for
In my opinion its wasting caseworker's time
If they want to check your employment history they can by contacting HMRC
In my opinion they won't check employment history because its not a requirement (unless there are other things which they think "are bit odd".)
But its entirely up to you

Hi everyone,

I applied 1st June 2015 but i filled the form AN March version, when i check now there is new version from May .. Is anyone applied June with May version?

Anjalee221: You are fine with March version. I applied on 3rd June with March Version and NCS staff confirmed that HO will accept the March version for 21 days.

(Apologies - i meant to say March in my previous post)

I've applied on 2nd June with March version, I believe the May version was updated on 6th June. NCS staff were fine and didn't even mentioned May form, actually she has checked if I'm using March form. So no need to worry

How do you phone them? When I phoned the number I had an option if my waiting time was over the 6 months and if it wasn't (I'm 2.5 months in) I had no option. What is the contact number to check?

If you have applied using NCS then try to speak with them on your concern they should be able to help you.

Is there any reason for why they ask some people and don't ask others?

New process since April 2015 - everyone has to do it.

In theory they should have returned your application asking to complete latest version of form. It's been 6 weeks since you applied so they may have accepted that.

I don't think that will have any impact on the application. HO will check with HMRC regardless of your P60s. They need to verify them anyway from the source. That's their job.

I got my acknowledgement letter on 13/06 but still haven't got biometrics letter. Is this something to worry about? I was told by NCS that since I have already provided biomterics during ILR stage, I wouldn't need to provide them now.. but looking at the comments from all, everyone seems to have got biometric request. Can someone please confirm?

I think you will have to go for BIOMETRICS for naturalisation as well but not sure on how long does it takes after payment deducted.

Hi,

I applied on 01st June 2015. When I apply the application was March 2015. I just realised there is a May 2015 application. I used Barnet NCS. No one advised me at the NCS on 01st June 2015.

Anyone else have such situation ? Will this have an impact to my application.
