I called them very often, if not one calls them, there is not job for them.

I have interview yesterday, I called to IPS, they said my passport is printed, and maybe I will get it today or early next week.

Hi,

I just had my passsport interview today, if IPS send passport to us, what post service do they use? Royalmail or DX?

Hi, imsylar, If they said you need to contact hillingdon council, which means HO sent you Certificate of Naturalisation there. If you want to have ceremory in different council, they will need to post the certificate to a that council, you need to ask them, maybe they will do it, but it is bit compl...

Hi,imsi,

how can they know your answers are right or not? Did you give them your bank accounts, mortgage and loan details, or they get these information from somewhere?

Hi, Beeba,

I just have a look carefully, that letter is a ceremory letter as well. It is a combination one.

After 11 days, the letter finally arrived.

Hi, imsi,

Thank you very much. I will pay the 3 pounds extra, I still have my current passport, it is still useful, I hate the poor post service in the UK.

Hi, imsi,

What post service did they use to return your supporting documents? Standard post, recorded or special delivery? thanks.

Hi, beeba,

I think they sent out our letters same day, 12th August, you got it in 2 days, so far, I received nothing, I live in South East, but it should not take that long. I think maybe the post lost my letter.

alizarao,

HO said my letter was sent on 12th, one week ago, but not got it yet. I call the again, tney said if I dont get it in 10 working days, I can ask for a new one. I have not any confidence in Royalmail at all.

I cannot believe it, they charge us £735 pounds per single application, and send everything by 2nd class post, HO just want to keep every penny in their pocket,worse than me.

Hi, nitas,

I just called them, they said my letter was sent on 12th August, but now it is 18th, I still have not received it, hopefully I will get it soon.

Now they dont really take phone calls for people who apply less than 6 months, you can try to press 2 and 3, and that is for people who submiitted application over 6 months, I think they will answer you questions, but they dont have to. nitas, I applied one day later than yours, and I am still waiti...

Hi, beeba,

I called HO today, this time they said my application is still on the queue, but it should be allocated to a caseworker next week. According to current timelines, usually it is this speed.

Hi, fazdeen, We almost applied at the same time, and we all got acknowledgment letter very quickly, that is just because they took payment fast. Now usually it takes one months to process, let us just wait, please we can keep posting if we have any update. f2k got it in just over 2 weeks time, hopef...

it is not difficult, you can pay bit extra to get the same day service you own, or you can ask an agent to do so. Years ago, when there was not any same days service for hsmp, i just did my extension around 2 months early, but now you need to collect the points again, this is the only issue, just ca...

Hi, JK2007, Your company annual accounts prepared by the accountant should be ok, but it is better to ask your accountant to provide a letter to tell them that you are the sole shareholder of your company(needs company registration number), and you company is currently still trading, and how many pe...

Hi, herts, I paid 15% of house value for deposite, the interest rate is lower if you pay more deposite. Normally lenders ask for 10 to 15% for deposite, if you want to get a mortgage your own, that is not easy, and now the lenders are tighten their mortgages. I got my mortgage in May last year, and ...

I got my mortgage when i only had my 1 year HSMP visa and not extend it yet, but I had been in the UK for over 3 years at that time, so one lender lend me the money. jillsjack, I think you have not been in the UK for 3 years, and the lenders will normally require further at least 3 years valid visa,...
