Application date 02/07/2014 and acknowledgement was on the 9th of the same month after fees was deducted on the 7th of the same month. Well now am well over 7months and into my 8th month since my application, no decision yet. My cousin though applied on the 13th/01/2015 and yesterday got her approval. What a . Both were ILR myself criteria was 9yrs stay/divorced spouse of a british citizen/ ILR held over one year. Pretty straight forward case yet no decision 7months on. Am sincerely frustrated.
Get your MP involved, that might speed things up a bit.heisenberg150 wrote:I applied for my citizenship end of May 2014, Up to now I have not heard anything from the HO or is it the UKBA. I have written two letters, made several phone calls and no update yet. Apparently my case is still in progress. Fact- the HO is in shambles, how can they justify deducting money and not providing a service they had said they would within a specific time frame?
Suspect it depends how busy the MP is electioneering. I messaged mine almost a month ago now with 2 additional messages of updated information between now and then and no response whatsoever. I have however heard from the MPs campaign team looking for donations multiple timeszeusmagnanimous wrote:Get your MP involved, that might speed things up a bit.heisenberg150 wrote:I applied for my citizenship end of May 2014, Up to now I have not heard anything from the HO or is it the UKBA.

Contact the campaign people asking for donations and tell them that you did not hear back from MP and thus will consider not voting for him this time if this is not resolved soon - cc the MP too It might work or not but worth a try.stillwaiting4it wrote:Suspect it depends how busy the MP is electioneering.

Tempting I did take some, if not all, of your advice and finally just called the campaign office after a month of waiting for a response (they generally said don't call unless it's urgent.......so maybe overstepping things). BUT, they did say the MP should be writing to the HO on my behalf sometime this week.
