June 2014 - Naturalisation Application Timeline

[therian]

Still waiting - husband applied on the 9th. The six-month deadline is looming, and the wait is killing us. Nothing else for it, I guess - and phoning the HO is beyond pointless

[A.Jadoon]

I applied on the 16th and still no joy.

Still no reply friends!!! Any ideas ... Any one else waiting

[Warrenpfo]

Today is 2 weeks until 6 months so I will call and ask but expect the usual reply. Fingers crossed we all get good news prior to Christmas.

This is getting to be a bit of a joke among family and friends my side i don't know what everyone else thinks but i have never come across a worse service.

One week to go until we hit the six-month mark, and so I have just sent a letter to my MP. I used the opportunity not only to chase my husband's application, but also to highlight the shortcomings of the entire application process, and the fact that earlier applications (particularly May, June and July - the passport fiasco months) are being overlooked in favour of more recent applications. I see there are even November applications that have already been approved, while this thread has had hardly any movement in terms of new approvals in over a month. I hope the letter will make a difference, but I will report back either way. Good luck to all others who are still waiting.

I have applied for british nationality on 2nd june 2014 and the payment was taken within 2weeks, letter was sent by home office to confirm the same, but i havent heard anything regarding my application.

Is anyone else facing delay or what can cause this?

[climber369]

Same here, 2nd June!

Strange to see the waiting times of some people here, while people who applied in Mid-October already got their approval.

The only explanation that can be is that there might be some nationalities which are being discriminated, and they delay processing their applications.

Hello Guys, Let me join the ever growing family. I kept an eye on this forum and finally decided to speak up. I am annoyingly frustrated by the service and unfairness UKVI provide. Like i know they are not doing us any favor, but we are not doing them any favor either. We paid for your service that we required and you cant even keep us uptodate with atleast where is our application progression is at. I applied with my family on 12th June 2014, and everytime i call them i hear, its still under consideration. I finally took the step of involving my MP , because we are about to hit 1 week mark from 6months ourselves, and i feel like nothing is moving and nothing will be moving due to xmas approaching. i will keep you all updated, but please any of you that have received any decisions, please keep us up to date, the progression of your application means that the conveyor belt of these applications in June is still moving. I think the application is individual based on cases but still, atleast keep us tracked with the stage of our application.
Regards
Amal

6 months today still no approval

[Londoner078]

I have sent my application for British citizenship in June 2014, and home office confirmed on the 27th of June 2014 that they received my application, today is 13/12/2014 and I am still waiting!!! I contacted my local MP after 4 month and they said you may need to wait up to 6 month, it will be 6 month in 10 days and still nothing! does anybody have a same problem here?
I have provided whatever they asked for!! a lot of people around me got theirs within 4 month and I am still waiting.. :/

[amjad6226]

londoner i also applied on 27th of June and its almost 5 and half months gone I did not hear anything, they never asked me for any additional documents, Call them almost every Friday to hear standard reply that ur application is in process. Fingers crossed on the finish of 6 months i will write to their complaint team my local MP and case worker all in once. Its just 13 days to go,

Hi, are you an EU national without the PR card by any chance?

[adamski1]

I'm Polish. In the UK since 2006. No PR card.

[Samaralady]

6 months tomorrow and still waiting. I wonder if anything is going to happen over the Christmas period.

[A.Jadoon]

Same here ... 6 months tomorrow and no good news yet.

[Warrenpfo]

Like wise 6 months tomorrow and still no news.

I have already emailed my local MP (Theresa May) who has said we need to wait until 6 months is up and then she will look into it nut to be honest I am not sure what good she can do but you need to feel like you are doing something otherwise I might just go mad.

The service is a bloody disgrace given the cost and lack of information available.

[nkim2222]

Hey ladies and gentlemen 6 months today as well..i have a feeling maybe there is computer problems and they aint telling us..i will wait for the post man today morning then call HO probably tomorrow. Good luck pple we r in these together ..lets be strong..God bless..xx

[rim77]

Hi All,
It's been 6 months for me as well since I sent my application...I called HO today and, as usual, I was told that the application is "under consideration". The lady told me that she doesn't have access to detailed information on application and advised me to send a letter by post ( not email ) to request an update on the progress...I don't know if this help, but I am going to send the letter today. I'll keep you updated about any outcome.
