Hi. I applied through the NCS on the 5th December 2013 (ILR + spouse of British citizen, I spent 3 years in the UK). The NCS guy told me that my TOEiC was accepted by the HO after he checked with them so I submitted it. Acknowledgement received in January then in march I received a letter saying th...

Good to see that people are getting Approval letters now. I have received a brown envelope as well today. Finally my acknowledgement letter has arrived today. It is dated the 25th. Now I guess i just need wait and hope for the best. My application is quite straightforward as well like others have m...

Looks like HO started august application now. But I'm still waiting for mine from 8th of July. I thought it will be a quick process as my application was straight forward but it taking longer than ILR application. Really disappointed with their service.

Its seems like 10years naturalisation applications are very slow this year,, stil waiting patiently. All this applications are based on the type of stay the person had. I have noticed marriage applicants get the decisions very fast, Then 5yrs workpermit get decisons second after marriage. 10 yrs Ap...

Many thanks £906 include ceremony fee you don't need to send any extra. Why did u send 80 pound extra for? 906 ...

DX courier

They sent the approval letter only. I submitted photocopies documents only, as I went through NCS at Camden. I did not send any original documents, apart from my life in the UK certificate. Does the letter tell you to wait for two weeks b4 u book ur ceremony? Cos I have seen some people saying that...

Emailed home office last week about the status of my application what I made on 8th of July. Got a response today saying it's still ongoing. I don't think those people there don't have the access to the system. Thats why everyone get the same kind of reply. Anyway still hoping for a good news very v...

Phew, my wait is over. I have received my BPR today, no passports or other paperwork yet, but I could deal with that for now.
