I live in Basingstoke (RG21) , Hampshire. My friend who is naturalized recently here is frustrated to find that the next available ceremony date is 3 months from now :shock: . I am applying for naturalization by end of next month (ie, May). I have personal reasons to grab British passport at the ear...

Thank you guys. All the best for all of you.Those who are waiting more than 2 months should approach via their MP. I think the delay is good news in one way. The chances of rejection is really slim after such a long delay. Yes. she asked whether it needs to be posted or am ready for collection. I op...

Got a call from caseworker on Wednesday that ILR is granted.I collected documents yesterday from Croydon. So it took only 9 working days.
Thanks for your help. All the best for guys still waiting,

The most sensible thing for anybody who waited for more than 2 months is to write to your MP. I don't think it is possible for us to petition Home office. We can think about FOI (Freedom of Information) request seeking clarifications on the process and timelines for deffred application. It is unfair...

Called them today . The status is "Not Complete". It seems the case is in the freezer. It is only been a week now. Not sure when should I write a letter to the MP. With redundancies looming in the company ( Company is going through a business transformation) , Incase I am made redundant , ...

Thanks for your views askhan. We can only speculate now. My employemnt history is genuine and all with reputed companies , it won't raise flags normally. I think it is something else.

Thank you all for your help. keeping fingers crossed.

I am also in the same boat. Premium appointment in croydon on May 7. After 2.5 hours of waiting , case worker handed me a letter stating further checks to be made.

I had only 50 days out of Uk days in total. I am permanently employed as well. So I was not expecting it.

Hi, Is a maintenance case filed (4 years ago) by my ex in a foreign country classify as civil judgement or civil penalty ?

Hi Akash, please read up before making misleading statements. The country in question is one of the most corrupt in the world. Most statics there are made up.The said Countries supreme court itself has admitted misuse of rules , despite it is politically incorrect to say so. Please don't think you a...

I came here 2010 June 26. Since then, I have been staying in a property. Now the problem is that I don’t have a tenancy agreement. I am paying the owner rent on weekly basis. I came to know recently that this may affect me in the longer run. What are the implications of this in my future PR/citize...

But there is an amount of around 45K INR deposited into the bank account as PF payment by his previous employer. This payment is for the period of 2005-2008. This payment happened in the chosen 12 months.Thi...
