yes its DX courier and you can call IPS to get tracking number before hand,if you wish to track yourself.

It s been a lot better today ,it did tell i am no 14 in Q .It didnt happen earlier.

I would say not to believe their random answers ,I have been waiting for over 3 months now.

I did call as well .Routine answer :waiting allocation for caseworker

I did ask has case file been made,are checks complete .He said awaiting allocation to caseworker for final decision to be made.

I would have finished three months tomorrow and still awaiting decision.Roll on next month.

Hav u tried calling today to get more clarity whether its still awaiting consideration or allotted to case worker.

I ve used the one on the receipt when you applied for ILR.They give a payment receipt when u apply for ILR and that's got a Home office REf.
I ve used premium processing last year and my solicitor asked me use the same ref no for naturalisation.

Could be doing some checks on your application with their records.Is that for a joint application for naturalisation.

If your child is born after you & partner obtained ILR ,you can apply british citizenship by picking up a UK passport application form from a postoffice.

If your child is born before you & partner obtained ILR ,you need to use form MN1 and apply for registration for your child.

I would beleive they have got no real information on the status.It gets updated only when it is scanned ,decision made ,decision sent.

But strange some people had updates like initial checks finished,last stages of application.

UKBA systems are really the Eight wonder on this planet.

Yes,they shouldnt be related to each other.

One referee has got to be of professional standing like Director or one from the list

and the other referee has got to be British and aged above 25 years.

Naturalisation is a discretionary power. There is no right of appeal against a refusal of naturalisation. However, reasons must be given and there is no limit on the scope of judicial review of such a refusal.

Hi Kumi,
Your Family had a good stroke of luck for faster approvals in naturalisation.Best wishes.

I am aware that naturalisation applications are processed in 3-6 months
from the UKBA website for 95% applications.What would happen once it crosses the six month period.Do i call UKBA and challenge them for not deciding on application in the time window of six months.

I shouldnt discuss my application with Family & friends.Each application is different and could take 3-6 months to decide.That was the answer from todays call

Are you Joking.

Application awaiting caseworker consideration in a nice gentle tone.

I asked why applications made after me processed and decided.Guess what they said.

I have lost patience reading this thread from afternoon and did call UKBA.

Hi rnr79,

Did you call UKBA today or previously regarding job change.Any update given when you called them.

Hi rnr79,Nazia88 I wish you receive your approvals soon.I know it would sound silly how we kept thinking over the period of naturalisation and did nothing than thinking of approval.You might laugh off after 6 months or a year over how stressed you were at this period thinking of speedy decision. I h...

I wouldn't give up,I stick to my plan of calling once a month.It would relieve my anxiety.

It was a random order and collatted based on the responses from my personal experience and other forum members from UKBA to a list. I dont know about how long it takes for a decision to be made from "Last stages of application" .But i would say 2 weeks max.If it goes beyond that i would im...

Wish the ...

I applied on 4th of May 2011, I would know what progress they made each month,if they are helpful on the call.

For me its nearly 3 months and have got to wait for another 3 months before six month deadline kicks in.I stick to calling 4th of each month from now on ,so eight more working days to go before i call them.I am prepared to listen to their new story a. Awaiting caseworker b. Allotted to caseworker. c...
