Naturalisation application processing timelines (only)

Application from June 2014 being refused now. Can someone please suggest any good solicitor without asking any personal question (like reasons for refusal) who can apply for my reconsideration.

Sorry to hear but no one will do any reconsideration without knowing what caused your refusal.
If you do not want anyone to know you need to do it by yourself, I am afraid

Sorry I guess my message was not clear. Of coz I will be telling the solicitor everything. What I meant was if some in this forum can suggest any solicitor without asking me the reasons of refusal in this forum. Hope it is clear now.

Oh, OK. Its your right not to tell
As far as I know everyone did it for themselves. The most recent one was Julian who got refusal too and he's done it for himself.
Good luck! Please let us know if the decision was turned around!

I believe this is a spin-off of another thread in which OP stated that the refusal letter mentioned she had "used deception in an application for a student visa"...

If you have been here for 5 years you should have these. I don't think its a sample letter. Its specified for you so I do not think anyone got exactly the same. There must be a reason why they ask it.
Send it back as soon as you could as post office works only tomorrow to get there by 7 April

[khurrum_khan123]

Morning guys, submitted my application for naturalisation on the 20th of March which Was received on the 23th of March by home office. Used Ncs and the money of 906 Quid is yet to be debited from me account.My question Is how long can it take to debit the money from your account

HO recieved my application on 26.03.15, i am still waiting for fee to be debited

[khurrum_khan123]

Good Evening

I have called the home office this morning, After I provided my details with a male advisor, he promptly said to me "as stating on the system we have sent to you a decision letter yesterday Monday 30 march" when I asked whether the decision is approval or refusal he said "I am not allowed to mention on the phone"

I hope it will be approval as my case was very very simple, I applied on 29 of September and yesterday was on my six months annivarsary

I will update you the earliest I receive it.

Best of Luck

Hi guys, If coz of this one article HO is causing these severe and significant delays in nationality applications then another article can speed up the process if posted with facts and figures. just we need to hit the right spot. It has to come out publicly that HO service standards r very low against the money they r charging etc etc....

Exactly my point.

is it fair to the applicants who have applied last year a straight forward application like 'Maxwell' and waiting for months and months and on the other hand March applicants r getting aprovals in 2/3 weeks.

If that 11 Dec report is causing delays due to high scrutiny been introduced then it should have been same for jan, feb and march applicants as well. How come one application is taking 2 weeks to get all that BS high scrutiny done and other is waiting for ages.

is it fair???

HO dose not have any pattern of dealing with applications.......once its goes to CW, it doesnt take more then a week for CW to decide the application......

Congrats, You have been one of the few lucky people who got it within one month time. On the other hand there are people who have been waiting for more than 6 months.

congrats

[Manka10]

Looks like those who are waiting are perpetually on a short fuse that they take offence to anyone getting early approvals and wanting to share their timelines

People who got their approval quickly against all HO's odds would naturally try to show that off, but that doesn't mean those who are waiting should take that personally and start making personal remarks

Learn some decency and grow up, life ain't fair to anyone. Those who are waiting are not waiting due to some people getting early approvals, if your application is straight forward then say that to the HO and ask them to expedite your application instead of ranting and banging head here. Go and shout where HO will listen if at all they care about how many months you been waiting

[quote="Maxwell"]Tangie, WTF!?

Are you trying to demonstrate that HO is quick? I have very easy, absolutely straitforward application and waiting for 5 months already!

There are people who wait for for much longer!

I know a person, who had to prove his identity to HO for many years because of THEIR mistake!

I'm afraid some people may even find your post quite insulting... [/quote]



Chill out,
Just because you haven't got your approval within weeks it doesnt mean you need to swear at others who have.
He was lucky to have his approval quick. Believe me there are people like him. Its not his fault. Still have no right to swear otherwise you are going to be reported as I find it insulting!
Go and enjoy Easter and be with your family and trying to relax and forget about your naturalisation otherwise you will be crazy and will be banned from this site by the time you get it!

[rajo1]

Forget it, dude. I am sorry too... Enjoy it!

[Tangie]

Tangie, ok then.

I don't want to put any blame on you.

But you quoted waiz89k first.

This is what makes it not so nice... Imagine waiting for 10 months with straightforward and easy application and then seeing your post with screenshot under his quote...

Anyway, let's not continue this any further. If it was not your intention to insult anyone. I just found it not very nice for myself but you replied, so it's Ok with me. Your reply is polite and nice. I'm sorry if my initial comment is too emotional. It starts to get on my nerves a little bit. I think you are nice responsible person.

No worries... Have fun with your citizenship... happy for you!

Thx's Maxeall,
I just posted it there without thinking, I'm not very good with this group. I have my own group on facebook and I know how that works. I would like to say sorry to waiz if I hurt you, I really sorry.
