naturalisation application- 9months still no news

[papuqe]

hi,
your thoughts appreciated.
i have applied for naturalisation over 9 months ago and still no news. application checked and submitted via my local council office. money taken next day. basis of my application: HSMP + Tier 1 + ILR
contacted HO few times, they said "its in process and we will escalate it"
went to my MP who said will write to them ,,,, still nothing is working.
any advice ? ... will it help if i write a letter ? (i sent an e-mail but got generic automated reply)

thanks

You can make an official complaint as lst resort but you really need to be good if you want to get a good reply. If you are not good, get someone else write it for you. I would mention each and every failing of HO.

nothings complex about the case.
from former Yugoslavia, worked in high paid job continuously, study and professional qualification from UK university , almost max points on test, only been out of uk max 2 weeks a year on holidays around europe.
what else to say... i guess must be my luck ... if someone was dealing with my case, it would have been either refused or they would have requested more information.

not sure making and official complaint would be a good idea. for now i can only sit and wait.

You have paid for a service which has SLA of 6 months so you have every right to make an official complaint.
or you can just sit and wait
