Cheers for that fellow!

Hi OP, If you apply in July and take up the position to move overseas then you can come back on holiday for the ceremony. It may or may not work but going that way your spouse will most likely have to wait, a lot longer. Hi Char, Please forgive me if my advice is not sound, just was thinking alterna...

Greeting All. Good news, Today i received my approval letter (well according to my wife) She called and said i have been granted naturalisation and need to contact council. TBH i don't feel very happy as i have been waiting for a very long time 13 month to be exact. i don't want to tell anyone to f...

I can login from anywhere but not from my phone which is on Three network.

Is the IP address for Three network permanently banned?


Could any moderator help, please?

I sympathise with you May '14 guys. I applied in Oct '14 but have toyed with the idea of withdrawing my application just to stop the stress. The Home Office rarely disappoints at it's below-third-world service. Be it was not for the almost 1k I would had withdrawn my application by now, I don't wan...

What would be the sensible course of action when Home Office fails to reply within 20 working days as promised if one emails to furthernationalityenquiries@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk?

Email them, again?

Emailed FurtherNationalityEnquiries@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk almost 20 working days ago and still no reply, dire straits - absolutely appalling experience. If I were to receive refund I would have withdrawn my application without thinking twice.

Hi all,

I sent an email to further nationality enquiries last month and almost 20 working days yet no reply from them, I requested to know the status of my application.

Does this happen a lot?

What I actually meant was,even with a gap(as it was always said on 10yr ilr)--one's application for naturalisation could still go through.Don't forget, that some posts on this forum allege that,if you have a gap,that could be deemed as ''illegal stay'' in the UK,then your application for British Ci...

Many thanks for clearing that one up Char!

Thanks a lot Vinny and Fwd079.

@Great77 can you please let us know why FLR(O) was refused?

Congratulations Liverpool2005!!

I called in and the Lady on the Phone talks like why did you called we already informed you in Feb (it will take another 3 to 6 months ) ? Same here mate... I'm going crazy...

I applied in May 2014: My question is if I called in Dec 2014 they would have said the same 3 to 6 months, then those 3 to 6 months would have finished by now. ...

Hi Alatrish,

Is yours your's a straightforward case?

Thanks,

@waiz89k Thank you so much for clearing that one up. Apologies as it was only my blind assumption. Those numbers are ridiculously high and no way near the 99% completion claimed by the Home Office. I will be patching those figures through to my local MP along with my next complaint letter. @Simon I...

@Siraj ud-Daulah I doubt the Home Office conducts "back home" checks. It does standard background checks, such as taxes, criminal and CCJ checks, etc. Only if something gets flagged in these matters would the Home Office then investigate further, I believe (I'm not certain) This is conjec...

I actually think the questions are quite good, specially this one is spot on : 2) According to freedom of information stats some applications for citizenship approved within 1 day processing time. How is that possible that Home Office completed back home searches on them within 1 day and got respons...

Ah ok, thanks a lot Char!

My private messages disappeared and cannot message anyone anymore.

Hi guys I need a bit of advice...my application is a few days over 6 months now. I rang two days ago and the contact centre rang me back today only to say that "you have passed the initial checks but unfortunately you have fallenin the category of the 5% who take longer than 6 months" pri...
