Hi Kumar, Its quite surprising that your application was approved on the same day that the acknowledgement letter was generated. The surprising part is that it took so long for your approval and invitation letter to get to you. How did you receive the approval and invitation letters? Royal mail or c...
Hi Tango Orange, Securemail is a private courier company independent of Royal Mail which is why the HO might be using them. Their number is 08442773333. I'm unclear myself regarding their delivery timelines as they still haven't delivered or even acknowledge that they have a letter for me from the H...
Racing fire and igsu hang in there...I'm sure it'll work out for you guys eventually. Its probably just the case worker. Try calling the UKBA on a Thursday or Friday late evening (best time I think). As I mentioned on this forum earlier I am yet to see anyone's application being declined. Taliska is...
Sid, Congratulations mate. Well done. I am really happy for you. For passport application, it actully varies from case to case. However, if you are registered on electoral roll and all your bank documents do come to you on the same address which you are going to declare on passport application then...

Cheers Thanks a lot Racingfire..I really hope your approval comes through next week..hang in there I'm sure its good news as I haven't really read about anyone's application b...
Folks...I finally have some good news to share with you...my application was approved !!! :-))))))...I'm soooooooo very happy. God bless the queen and the HO. I have to say that the people I've been speaking to at the home office have been absolute gems and extremely helpful. Called up the HO late y...
Congratulations to all those who have recently received their approvals/ British passports. I have a couple of questions for you guys- 1) How was the naturalization approval letter sent to you (Royal Mail 1st or 2nd class or was it by courier) 2) Approximately how many days after the approval being ...
Thanks Incognito..I hope all of us on this forum get approved. The lady on the phone told me that they might also send out the decision letter via courier. So keep a look out for it.
Folks I called up the HO a short while ago as I've been losing stuff in the post lately (damn the postal strikes !!) the lady at the other end was very understanding and said that a decision had been made on my application 2 days ago !! now I am dying from suspense...she wouldn't tell me anything ot...
The delays really do annoy me and add to the frustration but more importantly I am worried about post from the HO getting lost as a result of the backlog created by the strikes. In such an event there is no way of knowing whether the HO have sent you something thereby risking the consequence of not ...
Hey guys I rung up the HO on Friday and a very friendly and helpful lady at the other end told me that all the checks on my application had been carried out and that it appears to be all ok. Now the application is in a Q waiting to be allocated to a case worker who has the authority to decide or ask...
It could be that there are separate teams for postal and NCS applications. Anyways I'm just speculating here...who knows what's the truth behind this. I think it just boils down to the caseworker you get on the day and how many applications he is dealing with.
Good luck to us all.
Guys do you think the HO will take into consideration tomorrow and next week's 3 day postal strike to extend the amount of time available to people to book their citizenship ceremonies. Taliska mentioned that they give you 14 days to contact your local council.
Just to add to my last message...Taliska that is one of the quickest approvals I have seen on this forum. Would you mind sharing your nationality of origin with the forum?
Taliska that is marvellous to hear !! congrats mate...truly pleased for you...it gives me hope that mine will come through soon as well as I applied not too long after you.
