The frustrating thing is that this whole anticipation takes over your mind and they just don't care.

I've never experienced this type of unexplained delay in my life.

Guys can someone please help with some advice. I applied jointly with my wife at NCS and this weekend Home Office sent her a letter saying her Nigerian degree certificate is not a sufficient proof of English. In the same letter they requested either a NARIC confirmation or a print out of point based...

Be careful what you're saying here. White envelopes are good and remember there are other brown envelopes you don't want to receive - like speeding ticket and HMRC demanding tax etc.

P.S. With the approval letter came a badly photocopied, corners missing, skewed with horrible black spots "Tell us what you think of the overall experience" survey. I found that amusing...and fitting. Please complete the survey. Please tell them what you feel about their service. Exactly ...

Who, here, lives in the Islington North constituency? Please raise the chaos and careless service going on at Home Office with the new Labour Leader (Jeremy Corbyn). He seems a fair guy. I believe the HO don't care about the level of service they offer immigrants and it is pathetic that after takin...

Hi guys, My husband needs to apply before Novermber 5th rule changes. Not sure what method will be the quickest to receive Citizenship. Why is it that people are waiting 6 months? Is that standard for postal applications? Is the NCS service quicker? If so how much does it charge and do we need to b...

I have also received this "outstanding policy issues" letter... I applied via NCS Islington on 01/04/15. New date is 30/12/15 (which they say they still might not meet). Amazing! P.S. 5yr T1G + 1yr ILR, and have been fully employed for more than 6 years. Bangladeshi nationality, US educat...

I just got off the phone with the Home office. It has been exactly 6 months since I applied (2 April) They said that they cannot give me any information, and that I should call back in 2 weeks if I have not heard anything. It is apparently taking 6-8months!! Shocking service. Hi SAFA111 Did the tel...

Thank you all for the encouragement but l will be seeing the solicitor next week as there is no deadline for reconsideration and will keep you informed but it's so annoying I applied in May waiting for all that time for them to change their rules anyway let's wait and see. Hi LCJ. I am sorry to hea...
