Update: I receive a letter today that says, Before we can proceed further please send all of the following Original documents to this office by 7th April 2015.
could you forward further evidence of your residency, this can be in the form of: council tax bill, bank statements, GP letter, P60's, wage slips etc all of which to be in ur name and for a continuous period of 5 years.

Pls is there anybody that receive this type of letter? if so, kindly give advice and next step after providing the documents to them.

Thanks[/quote]


If you have been here for 5 years you should have these. I don't think its a sample letter. Its specified for you so I do not think anyone got exactly the same. There must be a reason why they ask it.
Send it back as soon as you could as post office works only tomorrow to get there by 7 April[/quote]

Hi Jaweb,
You aren't the only person who got this letter. I know someone on this forum got it few weeks back. It's nothing to worry about. Just send as much documents from the last 5 years as possible and am sure you will have your approval soon.

5 years doesn't mean you have to cover every single month. Just collect n send as much as possible. Good luck n please update.[/quote]


Thanks but it was not me who asked it[/quote]

Hi Babloo85, thanks for your info. i have sent all the requested documents and it has been delivered on the 30th of march, i have also keep my fingers cross as i pray to get my brown envelop soon.

Attn: Jaweb pls bear in mind that not all post you have to make a comment to. if you do not have any info or have any clue about a question i will advice you to keep your fingers off the keyboard and let people with experience take over the keyboard. Just an advise bro...Stay Bless

Tangie, WTF!?

Are you trying to demonstrate that HO is quick? I have very easy, absolutely straitforward application and waiting for 5 months already!

There are people who wait for for much longer!

I know a person, who had to prove his identity to HO for many years because of THEIR mistake!

I'm afraid some people may even find your post quite insulting...

Chill out,
Just because you haven't got your approval within weeks it doesnt mean you need to swear at others who have.
He was lucky to have his approval quick. Believe me there are people like him. Its not his fault. Still have no right to swear otherwise you are going to be reported as I find it insulting!
Go and enjoy Easter and be with your family and trying to relax and forget about your naturalisation otherwise you will be crazy and will be banned from this site by the time you get it!

@ Jaweb: You have no right to threaten other frustrated forum users who are already depressed by long waiting. If you continue to threaten users you could be reported to Moderators. As for I can see he did not swear at all. So stay positive and continue to wait for your application.

[rajo1]

Why you guys squabbling like 10 years old children, no one knows each other here, we all come here to interact and exchange experience, we don't come here nothing more than that, if you want a quarrel and idle points please leave this forum alone, don't hijack for your childish posts.

if some one post their timeline here than that is why this forum is all about, if you don't like it, just leave this forum politely without making foolishly, non less and not needed beef and blast posts here.

If you are despair, dejected or feeling depression about the long wait it is not only you my friend, but you should understand that many people like you got the similar circumstance, and they need that information it does not matter if some one got their approval within a week or a year, we need the details, we share each other, we communicate and boost our moral on to one another.

Don't post any thing out of our main discussion and theme which is Naturalization timeline, otherwise I will recommend the forum moderators to ban and block those accustomed to insult others
