[Smile90]

Hello,

I thought I might share my experience to empathize with everyone who is still waiting:

Criteria for qualifying: 5yrs+1 uk residence EU national
English Language requirement: life in the UK plus UK degree certificate
Date of Application: 29/07/14
Method: Self
Date application received: 30/07/2014 (royal mail)
Date of acknowledgment: 07/08/2014
Date of approval: waiting
Date of ceremony: waiting

On this I feel like I need to ask, since the people who received approvals within a month had used an NCS service as intermediate was that what sped up the process? Should everyone do it like this?

It's not bad to read this to knw sometimes HO make a excuse the delay on 3rd party checks,which is nonsense and isn't true,this is the answer they provide under freedom of information to someone who told by HO customer service the case get delay because of the 3rd party delay,but in they respond to the question about the 3rd party delay HO deny to work with any 3rd party..

Hi,

Few weeks back we saw some approvals for July forum but looks like nothing is moving since last one week for July but recently there were lot of approvals in June.
So hoping August applications to start moving from middle of October, Let us hope for the best.

Any thoughts ?

[Sonnyboy8011]

It's exactly what I thought too,September was the moths for most of backlogs, June and few very very very lucky in July and The application received by HO in very end of August...by logic(HO logic...not logic logic) October should be the months for left over from past months and few lucky in August and sep,but majority of August start getting approval in November and few unluckiest has to complete the 6 months to approv HO theory of %5 has to wait 6 months..after all I wish a great luck to every single one who's waiting for the good outcome from HO and not just the citizenship...good luck guys..may the good karma and ur higher power (by any name u call him/her) be on ur side..

[pgaitonde]

Has anyone got an approval??

Has anyone got an approval??

It looks bit early to expect approvals for August applicant. I think still a month to go to see any movement for august applicant.
I think June applicants are getting approvals now.
