Hi all,
Pls can someone tell me what I am doing wrong ?
I have applied twice for my naturalisation and it was returned twice because I have not included the right fee.

Each time I applied, I filled the fee form and requested that the sum of £906 be taken by direct debit from my account. But it is always returned that I did not include the right fee. Can anyone let me know how they paid and how much they paid plsss, because am really confused now.
Thanks

It is 906 pound for an adult application . I don't know why did they returned ur application twice. I paid 906 pound for mine and im sure everyone does.

[happyguy82]

Hi,

£906 only. The ceremony fee is already included in this figure.

Good luck!

correct, unless you want a private ceremony but that'll be payable when it comes to that.

Hi,

Hello people,i applied in auguest last year, after receiving the 3 to 6 month more to process my application, finally today i walked into the door and guess what i found, a a4 size brown envelope with my approval. so anyone waiting from last year i reckon you will get it by the end of the month.

Good luck all

Congrats! I applied in July last year (HO received application on 28/7/14). I also received the 3-6 month letter in Feb 2015. Did you do anything between receiving the 3-6 month letter and getting the approval letter? i.e call the HO or contact the MP etc?

Thanks

No i did not contact anyone, only thing i did after i received the 3-6months letter was send a email to home office asking for update, and the response i got was that my application was still under process. To be honest i do not think contact them or MP makes any difference as they seem to do whatever they like (HO)

Thanks

I do not think you can apply now as you do not meet the 3years residence, read up the guardians form about meeting the requirement.

Also your last 12 months needs to be time restriction free.

Well, If you dont know the rules then dont give wrong info plz. Spouse of british nationals dont need to wait for 12 months as long the residency criteria (which is 3 years for spouse of bc) is met. So in your case you can apply from 10/11/2015.

Thank you for your reply

Anytime after the 9-11-2015 will be ok to apply for naturalization. You have to first complete three year resident to be able to apply as a spouse of a British Subject.

Hi,

I submitted my application for Naturalisation on 8/12/2014 by NCS - Fees was detected on 15/12/2014 and confirmation was received on 16/12/2014 - Since waiting for decision. I was planing to travel for few weeks - but difficult to make mind, because i am anxious that in my absence if any correspondence i missed. Could any of you guys share any experience or has sent application during December 2014 month.

Your thoughts would be very valuable for me.

Thanks

Hey, I applied 3/12/14. Last week HO contacted me for the first time (after sending acknowledgement in mid December 2014) to send couple of documents for verification.

So, looks like they are working through the backlog. Have faith, should not be too long now !
