Can take 4 weeks to get acknowledgement. Sometimes things take a while.

Hi Jonny!

I have applied for Naturalisation via NCS in Manchester exactly as the same date as yours, however, neither I have received a knowledgement nor payment been taken.

I think it is bit early as things in the HO nowadays goes slowly.

But, we keep update if any replies comes up.

Members should wait to hear from HO. It can take a couple/few weeks. We don't need a running topic on acknowledgement letters which is just a posting of everyones timeline again when there are already timelines members can follow.

You need to wait to hear back from HO as already advised. It can take up to 6 months and sometimes longer.

I am still waiting too. I applied 8 April.

hard to be patient, but there is nothing you can do to speed up the process, unfortunately. Even getting a status update is next to impossible.
