I don't hold my breath on quick respond in week time I'm going to wait for 5 months. Just downhearted really by all this experience.

2nd June and still waiting. Ive posted my marriage certificate as I want all correspondence in married name. I gave up hoping now just want the answer to be honest

What I albo noticed that HO responses/ approvals come in date batches. Have a look at excell spread sheet and it is clear that some days are nearly all approved and others not touched (I know I know on this forum is only small percentage of all applications, but just have a look) just interesting th...

Did anyone notice the approval date is not not dependent upon date of applying but is rather dependent on date of biometric letter issued. As this week is going by applicant who received biometric letter in 3rd week of June are getting approval (same in both cases of May and June applicants) I don'...

congratulations!!!!

Congratulations Yussi and oace finally we see some post biometrics approval

Hi guys, could somebody please post me a link to the current HO spreadsheet with numbers of applications and approvals, etc. I saw it somewhere,but cannot find now. :idea: BTW any approvals from this forum as of yet? :roll: April-June data will be released on 27th August, all previous data is avail...

I think you can apply after being married for 3 years, but please double check.

Freedom of information request

It looks like 4 -5 month wait until any approvals, with nearly 22500 applications pending in March and only 95 case workers, holidays etc, I'm not very optimistic. I am not sure are all those applications are AN or are they combined with MN. Nevertheless its a huge backlog

It seems Kingston applications are getting approvals, hope mine will follow soon. Congratulations to all and hopefully not long wait for the rest.

All approvals are prior 6th April. It will take time I'm afraid. I hope when HO starts on working post changes applications then it will go smoothly and quickly ... 2 months for me today, I hoped for quick approval and now Im actually getting ready for lengthy wait.

Jaweb congratulations!

If you have any letters stating the company change, like payslips, P45 and P60 for that year (where it should state change of the company name or at least have some indication of the name change),attach them which your application. I did something like that (with the difference that my company chang...

Not surprised of the waiting times now as pending was over 9000!

Because if you are applying for citizenship you follow the same set of rules. Biometrics are not only to check your immigration status, but also to check in police system.

Easiest option would be applying in 2016 as married to BC. If you've never registered with WRS earliest when you can apply would be 2017, 5 years after WRS expired and 1 year PR (which I believe is automatic after 5 years residency in UK - that is for EEA)
Hope it helps.

So they told me today that they did actually post bio-metric letter 2 weeks ago ... and hence, I should request a re-issue of the letter ... So, if you are from mid May, call them .. . I just called them and they told me its highly unlikely it'll get lost cuz its sent be recorded mail and current r...

I am facing very similar issue. In few weeks time I'm getting married, so I'm planning on changing my surname. My passport is expired now and I've been traveling on EEA ID card, which is valid for next 6 years or so and it has my maiden name on it. And now where the issue will start, my ID can't be ...
