Most of them say about 6 months, but some will look you up. Not that the info is up-to-date anyway...gaboon_viper wrote:Congrats guys enjoy, just called them they said wait till 6 months. I am 27 march
One issue in my case. I forgot to mention one address where i lived for 4 months. Will this make any delays or issue in my case? Thx
Hi Sogy, that is a good news mate that is what happened to me and with in 1 week they received my docs they got me approval, so soon you will be joining us. About the special delivery, yes mate they will inform you to send an envelop with it. I sent my docs with special delivery and included pre-paid envelop with my address on it. Good luck mate and let us know how it went.sogy wrote:An update on my progress: having applied on 19th of March, i am now with a case worker. As I said before, somtimes calls to the HO yield no real information, sometimes they do. Told yesterday that I have been sent a request for additional documentation, including the PSNI ("Norn-Iron" Police) crminal records consent form (DAT1) and this should reach me within a few days. This form is something unknown to most applicants, and is needed only for those who live (oh have lived, as I did) in "Our Wee Country"), as the police there does not provide criminal records without the person's formal written consent. I have left Northern Ireland for England almost 5 years before applying, but nevertheless. Ready to provide th form as soon as the request reaches me, and rejoycing that the end of the process will be in sight then!
Can anyone tell me: if I send a pre-paid sepecial delivery envelope with the additional docs (for a faster delivery of the decision pack), do I need to write my address on it, ro leave it blank, so they could fill it?

Hi lamijm, thanks for the great response. Couple of things to clarify; How long is the ceremony? How long should I expect for passport process and if I then have to travel can I ask for return of my passport? For passport, do I need any prove of address or prove of work or anything? Many thanks in advance.lamijm wrote:spike_UK wrote:Hi guys, I have ceremony on Thursday 19/06 but I have no Idea how long is and what I have to do!!!!

All you need to know at the ceremony will be told to you when you get there so no need to learn anything in advance. They will tell you how its gonna go and what to do.
For the passport I would advise you not to do the online application. Go to the post office and get an application form, fill it in amd send it via post office check and send with your naturalisation certificate, 2 photos with one countersigned and your current passport that has not been expired. And that's it.
Be sure to know that there is a massive backlog at the passport office so if you send your passport of just make sure you have no travel plans in the near future as u wont be getting your documemts back any time soon.
1. My ceremony itself took about 30-45 mins. but when i got there i had to wait a bit as they still had admin work to do in regards to booking people in.spike_UK wrote:Hi lamijm, thanks for the great response.

Thanks Sogy, is section 10 compulsory?!sogy wrote:Section 10. Countersignature
I'm sorry to hear that you still waiting but hopefully not long to go.sogy wrote:Apparently it is - for a first adult passport. M understanding is that it is signed by the same person, who signs the photo.
My case is still delayed by the UKBA waiting for the criminal check results from the Police Service Northern Ireland. I hope to be through in 3-4 weeks. At least I know there is a case worker, and what is delaying the process. What i don't know is whether the case worker has already gone through everything else, but hope she has.
