February thread is pretty dull and inactive compared to March club. Lot of applications have already been approved and hence no discussion I suppose.

I can foresee a long wait for me

[chipmunk1]

Called this morning to HO. One of my referees has changed her address. The lovely woman told me they don't need this information because the decision made on the 1 of June. So I should receive the letter very soon and I hope it is an approval

Glad to hear this, Chipmunk! it normally takes on average a week from the date of the approval to when you receive it so not too long to go!

Just try not to lose any sleep, waiting for your approval! and be sure to celebrate when it comes

eligibility: 5 yr WP+1 yr ILR.
Method of application: NCS Scunthorpe
Date of application: 22/02/2012
Date of receipt by UKBA: 23/02/2012
Date of debit of fees: Payment declined as lost debit card a few days later. Paid over the phone on 12/03/2012
Date of receipt of acknowledgement: 10/03/2012. Dated 03/03/2012
Date of approval: 06/06/2012 dated 28/05/2012
Date of ceremony: 19/06/2012

I must say I got home at 1645hrs today having given up on waiting for the letter from HO. I was surprised to see a small envelope, similar to acknowledgement one ( I was somehow expecting an A4 hand written one as someone stated here. lol) My first thought was "Oh God, what more info do they want now". I was shocked and happy to see that it was an approval letter that I nearly cried. lol
The letter said that I should contact the council to book an appointment and with 10 minutes left I thought I could try my luck. The call went straight to voice mail stating someone will get back to me within two weeks which was so disappointing. After leaving my details I just thought "what the hell" I then dialled the number again and lucky me, someone answered. She told me the next ceremony date (19/06/2012) and I knew I was going to take it even if meant not being at work for a day, Lol. Although I live in Scunthorpe I put my ceremony to be in Sheffield as they have weekly ceremonies whereas in Scunthorpe, it is every month. Sorry guys for bubbling on, just thought I could share my experience and hope by the end of the month all Feb club would have had their approval letters. Thank you for your help and support guys.
