Thank you.
In your opinion, if they were going to ask for additional documents, would they already have asked for it by now, considering it has been 4,5 months? In other words roughly how long after the application do they generally come back and ask for additional documents?

Thanks

Hi Me and my spouse applied for citizenship through NCS on 22nd May 2017 (timelines below). My question is: my spouse's days out of the UK was 105 days vs the 90 days limit. In guidance it was saying it is at the caseworker's discretion if there are no other issues on the application plus if strong ...

Hello I've tried every reference number on every paper received (re our neutralisation application on 22.05.17), however page says ref number not recognised :( It only responds to my BRP number but it shows my ILR approval date back in 2016, not neutralisation... Am I doing something wrong, or is th...

Hi Guys - has anyone receoved a refund yet? Our decision was issued on the 10th of May but still no refund.

Hey Guys I received my BRP cards today. Still no passports in sight. We'll now miss my husband's schengen visa appointment tomorrow, and I still have the risk of missin my business trip beginning next week. One stupid oversight of caseworker causes us this much trouble, but all they say is "oop...

hi , So is your ILR approved . Yes it is, but the thing is, on top of all this stress, even though I was specifically told someone would call me when the decision is made as I said I would pick them up as I'm travelling soon, some idiot puts them in the post and I'm only finding this out cos I jump...

UPDATE - Exactly as I thought - as I suspected they might post the documents without calling, I just went to Croydon to see what the situation is. Told the guy at the door I'm here to pick up my documents, no issues, went in. And yes - the application (5th appointment) is finalised and leave is gran...

I called several times, that can't give any information. It's useless. But you can try 0300 123 2241.

congrats to all . Any one got a call who went on may 5th

Hi - I went on 5th and no call yet
I'm now a bit paranoid that they would send the documents via post before calling too which means extra 3-5 working days of waiting

I had applied on 4 May in the morning and was told the system was down. I opted to have my documents sent back by post. I just got an email from my solicitor saying that the team in Croydon has confirmed that my application has been completed and was dispatched on 7 May (not sure if that means it w...

Congratulations and thanks for the update...
Keep them coming guys

I think because of the backlog, for the ones that they cannot give decision same day, they're just using the "questionnaire" and "additional checks" as an excuse to avoid Premium Appointment Fee refund. Because they will only refund if the application would normally be a same day...

Hi All - Finally got a call from home office just before 5 minutes and they confirmed my application is approved and ready for collection. I asked if I can collect today, they said it is late now and I can collect tomorrow any time. For info - I was having PEO appointment on 3rd May and had submitt...

I have received an acknowledgement letter today stating my application is valid but there are further enquiries to be made and they sent me a questionnaire to fill in for (Tier 1 General) ILR. Had you also applied on same day on 3rd May at PEO Croydon Ved? Hi Ved , it is interesting that they took ...

I just got a call from homeoffice informing that my ILR is granted. They asked if I want to collect the documents or want a recorded delivery, My PSC was Croydon on the 3rd so looks like the IT system is up. Leaving now for Croydon, but wanted to share this with everyone who is waiting to hear from...

Hello G061, Does it mean you won't have to reschedule your appointment or go back to Croydon . Only to wait for a call to confirm decision? We were given the choice to reschedule but the rescheduled appointments were weeks away and I need to travel next week, so we submit the application (as they s...

We submitted our file and now waiting for a phone call! It was a nightmare at Croydon today. Not a pleasant experience at all. Anyway if anyone...
