As Ferrarilondon has advised, ask the HO to reconsider your application. In your covering letter, clearly mention the dates you were away from the country.

Even if you were away for more than 450 days, the case worker has got some discretion if your application is satifactory in all other ways.

Congratulations Wunder. When did you apply and under what criteria? I think almost everyone from this forum who applied in February have had their approval. I think its only Gul and Londongirl who applied in Feb and still haven't got a decision, they should be getting it soon. Hope decisions for peo...

being released without charged means that they found nothing against you and I dont think that there would be any record of it. I am not competant to advise you on whether you should declare this or not, may be its worh having a chat with an expert.

The following link may be helpful, read annex D

Gul, have you heard anything yet? did you call them again?

Icalled them a little while back - same answer: its awaiting allocation! Getting a bit frustrated now!

Ferrarilondon, did you try calling them today? I tried but just cant get through!

Thanks for the link Lionking, its really interesting. I suppose we will not hear anything from them now until atleast the first week of May. I rang them about 2 weeks back and got the same answer- waiting to be assigned to a caseworker. I applied on the 17th of March (5 year WP + 1year ILR), so its ...

Its been quite a while since anyone here on this forum has had an approval. Most of us who applied in Fab-March have not heard anything back. There is definitely something unusual going on ! And the holiday season starting from next week is bound to add to all this delay. I am just hoping I get the ...

Hello Guys, In my opinion we are unnecessarily getting overwhelmed with the credit checks and CCJ's. If we know that we are upto date with our bills and there are no outstanding claims, then whats the point of spending money on doing credit checks etc etc - why worry if we know everything is ok! let...

Gul, have you heard anything yet? When exactly did you apply and under what criteria?

VSAndroid - I suppose you have your answer now. You can travel on your India passport untill the date of your ceremony.

Quick Question... I applied for Naturalisation on the 28th March - Bank Account got debited on the 6th April. I am hoping I get the decision by the end of May because I am meant to be going to Europe end of June... Now My question is... Should UKBA take long to make my decision, is it okay to trave...

When you say the case was discharged - do you mean you were clearly acquitted? If thats the case then you dont need to worry and you dont have to declare. However, if you were fined or warned, then you will have to declare this unless its already spent. Please give more details so that someone here ...

Even I decided not to call UK Ba i just did again :lol: Same answer that we are getting so many applications and mine is in initial stages has not been allocated to the case worker yet. :? My application is straightforward but that does not mean that you will get the answer quick. Gul did you get a...

Gul I think the reason for the delay with your application could be that it has been randomly selected for detailed checks. I dont think applying through NCS should make any difference, I think they are considered on a first come first served basis.

Hopefully you will hear from them shortly

Hmmm, I suppose people who applied during the 2nd/3rd week of March should start getting some responses from this week onwards. Going by the previous posts, it takes anything between 18 days to 6 weeks for generally straight forward applications. I hope we get the approval in the next 2-3 weeks, oth...

Hi Lionking, my statement says NationalityDirectorate Liverpool.

There are a few possible scenarios: 1. You can trace your friend and he admits his fault and pays the fine - There is no problem at all then. 2. Your friend does not admit his fault and you cannot prove that he was driving - In this case speak to the police and they will be able advise you on the be...

I understand that you have the contact details of your friend who was driving over the speed limit. Have you contacted that friend to see if he has got anything from the police. If he has been contacted by the police and if he has accepted the fixed penaly notice, then you dont have to worry. Anothe...

Hello Rani, You must declare this. Hiding any information can harm your application. As per the guide to Form(AN) page 15, fixed penalty notices are generally ignored. However at the same time it also says that driving whilest un-insured is not considered as a minor offence. In my opinion, it is all...

I wonder if someone can help with this. Me and my wife are Indian citizens, we both have Indian passports and are staying in the U.K. on an indefinite leave to remain. Our 5 week old son was born in the UK and he has now got his U.K passport. My questions are: 1. Is he eligible to be registered as a...
