Apologies, I certainly did not mean to create any confusion for yourself. I am sure your appointment has been booked and will be "honoured" and that you will not be required to rebook and repay. I was merely recounting my own experience.

Keep us posted on how you get on.

Regarding your second query, I might as well reference my source , scroll down to the middle of the page: "Who should come with you Any dependants named on your application must come with you to your appointment. You can also bring any other people you need at your appointment, eg carers, famil...

https://apply.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk

https://visas-immigration.service.gov.uk

Looks like appointments for 29 February have been released, at least for Solihull.

Contrary to what some people may think, this data is not 3 weeks old. Yes, the updates are cumulative and contain historic approval links for the entire month. That way, I figured it would be easier for someone picking up the thread midway to obtain a clearer picture for January 2014. I have tried ...

You have pulled this information from the MN1 timeline thread. A Google search reveals this is from a 2011 FOI request for an MN1 application.

I am not sure how relevant this is to a non-MN1 application, but this is just my opinion.

Fee acknowledgement letter update: Received 30 January, letter dated 27 January.

I have updated my timeline in the January 2014 topic (here) and the main naturalisation topic (here).

Fee payment update: Confirmation of fee debit on 29 January, transaction date 27 January.

I have updated my timeline in the January 2014 topic (here) and the main naturalisation topic (here).
