I applied on 9th Apr NCS Redbridge: Received that stupid letter from Home office saying : "Unfortunately they are not able to process my application within 6 months..... .." and also it says " your application raises exceptionally complex etc etc" and we expect to make a decisio...

Hi All, I have been reading this forum for sometime. I thought HO will come back with int 6 months timeline with decision letter. But they prove wrong most of the time. Nonetheless, below is my timeline Eligibility criteria: 5 year Tier 1 + 1 year Language criteria: Degree taught in English Current...

HO will ruin Christmas Holidays for many of us.

Perhaps it was intentional for may's speech delivered yesterday!!

This is a worrying trend as more and more applicants seem to face further delays!! My MP's office just called me that they have not heard back from HO yet.

This is frustrating and shows how chaotic a workplace is HO. Are they randomly picking applications for further inquiries or based on any flags! i would say randomly bcoz if any flags were raised on your application (only an assumption) why have they delayed decision on other adult and specially chi...

I emailed HO a week ago and got a standard reply today saying it will be decided in another 3-6 months time, etc. I have also tried emailing my MP, but haven't managed to get a reply yet. Full text as follows; I am writing in regard to your outstanding application for British Citizenship. We aim to...

I emailed my local MP a week ago, no reply yet and i'm 15 days short of 6 weeks

All but frustration is creeping up everyday now. these delays don't make any sense at all

the wait for me is finally over and I can go ahead and plan my church of England wedding ceremony as i will be a citizen in time for my wedding! To be honest i don't know how i would have coped if it wasn't for this forum. Also thank you for whoever suggested i mail my local MP. I did just that and...

OMG!!!! i used the email address that a member on here posted asking if they have perhaps sent something requesting further info and it got lost in the mail. they replied today saying they sent me a letter (didnt say what the letter said obviously) dated 15th Sep so maybe its wiating for me at home...

This is what i got from the homeoffice in the email today. I ve applied on the 7th of april 2015. Hopefully it would be a yes from them. Thank you for your email correspondence of 21 August. Our records indicate your application has been concluded and a decision letter will be in the post to you in...

All those waiting, is it worth writing to local MP? I applied through NCS keeping passport in possession but still can't travel for long because ceremony is a must.

appears that april one's are running in parallel to may, june applicants. I would not be surprised if remaining april applications are dragged for long!

I applied on 20th april

Hello Everyone, I've got the greatest news! I opened my post box today (Sunday) to find the 2nd class brown envelope! I had checked my post box on Saturday around 12:15pm thinking the postman must have been and there was no letter then. I only checked today as an afterthought on my way to the mall ...

You can have the ceremony at a British Embassy or High Commission abroad, but only if your spouse is already British. Having the ceremony is a must. No ceremony, no certificate, no citizenship, no passport. We both have applied for naturalization same time and she is waiting for approval too. So i ...

Thank you all for valued comments. A word of mouth rumored to me that if someone had a genuine and compelling reason, council could consider the case, for instance serious health issues to one's parents...

But reading all responses it seems there is no such clause...

Hello Readers - I am expecting a return on my naturalization application soon and hopefully positive. I have a very compelling reason to travel overseas for more than 6 months. Question is if i could ask council to omit ceremony and send my certificate to me? Does anyone know under what circumstance...
