@Aryan2013,

Thanks for posting this timeline here.

I'll wait until 25 April which makes it exact 6 months before writing for further update. Caution was for a fight, no further action was taken by the police. It was a verbal warning by the Police as far as I can remember.

I had Police caution in 2003 which I did mention in my application, always paid my taxes. Clean driving licence, no CCJ, no penalty ticket issues.

My ILR application was in storage for a total of 7 months and 4 days, total time taken to reach decision was 7 months and 7 days.

3 days to decide by the caseworker.

Date of Ack Letter: 19-12-2013
Date of Fee Debt: 19-12-2013

Hi Ged,

One thing I came across and that lady told me yesterday that 'Nationality Character Checks' are done before its allocated to a case worker....!!!!

If this is the case what does a caseworker do then?

Rest is 2+2.

Reply.jpg Hi BCMN1, Any news on your application? Cheers! Respected Fellow Members, I am still waiting to hear from the Nationality Directorate about the outcome on my application.

Thanks Damanisshallo,

Email is dis-functional to no surprise.....

left a voice mail for a call back.

This policy should either be operational or be excluded from the Section 7 , Annex B, Chapter 18 of BNA 1981. Applicants are done twice; once at the delay in ILR applications and secondly by not applying the discretion to waive off the residency requirement under above policy. Home Office should be ...

Good try though. I hope you din't lose any money (Even £65) Even the Nationality Policy Team weren't sure of this word "Protracted". Was an 11 hour round trip by train, only lost ticket money £41.30, Welsh people are really nice and I can endorse it they didn't charge me the NCS fee....:)...

I do not know why they have marked your case when the delay was not your fault, regardless of how the decision was made. I think you should make a complaint. Complaint....to who? My request to have an appointment with the Home Secretary is also put down as she is a very busy person. I wrote to my M...
