Is there anything extra that was supplied with the application? I see that some people do their own CRB checks and send it on with the application. Was it a straight forward case? Was it just the Swiss national applying?
Yes, just as a Swiss national who had lived and worked in the UK and held PR for at least 1 year. Nothing extra, just photocopies of his passport, PR card and P60s for 6 years (this was a precaution to show that he attained PR before the date on the PR card as this was different to the date entered on the AN form).

My husband has been fortunate in all his dealings with the UKBA - his RC and PR both took under 2 weeks to process and now his AN in under 6 weeks. He remarks that this is thanks to reputed Swiss precision in how he ordered his applications. It's anyone's guess.
All good now. Got the letter yesterday. The application took 1 month from NCS to recieving the letter. The problem is getting hold of the Ceremony Team. Seems to be nobody in the office picking up. I can't sit at home and call them every 5 mins. I have to go to work. ANOYING.

Have you considered going down to see them? Might be more fruitful.
