I got a brown envelope, and it was from Home Office. I was so close to celebrating but sadly, HO want one of my passports :( The letter (dated 12-Jun-2015) stated that the passport is required to prove to the Secretary of State of my residency between 2010 to 2012. I find that period kinda odd becau...

An interesting update, I got a letter in the post (dated 12-Jun-2015) asking me to return one of my passports. The letter stated that the passport is required to prove to the Secretary of State of my residency between 2010 to 2012. I find that period kinda odd because I got my work permit in 2009 wh...

Update ! Got Speeding fine and 3 points :roll: first ever points over years of driving. All things happening at the same time. Officer was very forceful to inform HO and court too as if he's gonna get some special award from Ms May. But just thinkinh somebody earlier posted about having approval ev...

i feel so worried now as I see the majority of February applicants got their replies. i applied on 4 of February through NCS and I thought it would be faster. However it is nearly 4 months and nothing but the money were deducted same week as i applied :( I applied on 5th Feb and still waiting. I sa...

Hi everyone I am new here, thanks for the laugh in the posts btw. It sure makes this whole waiting game a little less painful! I posted my timeline in the main thread (Naturalization applications timelines ONLY) but I thought it best belongs here. So we are waiting for that shiny brown envelop :rol...

Hi, My wife is a US citizen who came to the UK after applying for a 'Join family living permanently in the UK' (or marriage/fiance) visa in Feb 2015. We plan to get married later this month. Her visa expires in July 2015. As there isn't enough time to apply for the spouse visa, is it possible for he...

It seems like HO are concentrating on applications from last year Still waiting...

Hi, I'm kind of lost. I have tried reading through https://www.gov.uk/remain-in-uk-family/eligibility but can't seem to figure out where my situation fits. My wife is a US national. She applied for a 'Join family living permanently in the UK' (or marriage/fiance) visa. She arrived in the UK last mon...

It seems like my application has been held back for further checks ... I requested my documents back so at least I can travel out of the country if need be ... ah well, let the waiting begin

Take it from someone who has Payment Industry experience - With this type of transactions (where card holder is not present, amount is high etc), always goes through couple of layers of check. You mentioned that there was no balance on the card and have thousands of £ available - This is exactly wh...

Oops, sorry. Getting too excited

Congrats fqvision, Jimry, rohangk_83!

Hoping my gets done as well as I sent it around the same time as you and my payment debit date is same as you!

I am not pointing out or picking up anyone here but these 1 week/2 weeks approvals seem unreal to me when there r people waiting for ages. Rules are/should be same for everyone, If HO is doing extra scrutiny (coz of that famous report on 11 Dec) for one then it should be done for all. OR does anybo...
