Seriously, you guys need to stop calling them all the time. There is no need to call them if you only sent your application a few weeks ago. If your payment has been debited, then it will be processed. There is no point calling them all the time to find out what is going on. Of course you can keep c...

Congratulations Angel!

lol no dude, you're not a british citizen till you do the whole oath/affirmation thing. it's an annoying formality but till you do it, you can't apply for a passport.

Bloody hell, why the hell does it take that long to receive a decision?! And I thought waiting the predicted 6 months in England was long.

Congratulations SK1, glad to hear you got your docs back! Yeah now you're free from the Home Office immigration department, must be a good feeling.

Congrats SK1 :lol: Thank you very much. I am a bit worried that I haven't received my South African passport and Naturalisation Certificate back yet. If I don't get it by tomorrow, I'll give them a call to query. :wink: From what I gather from your posts, it doesn't appear that you used the secure ...

Hey can I ask, how come you were able to get a ceremony date 3 days after the receipt of your approval?

And also how long did the actual ceremony last?

Cheers

The Home Office is so annoying! I got my approval letter on the 18th of May (dated the 14th of May) and I still haven't received my letter of invitation to a ceremony, even though they said it should be with me in 2 weeks. Phoned them and they said they have a backlog cos they have been swamped etc,...

I thought my timeline for approval was pretty quick, I wasn't expecting anything till July, but the whole thing from posting it to receiving approval was exactly 2 months AND I paid by cheque which theoretically should have added another week. Maybe they are getting more efficient lol How long does ...
