March 2015 Naturalization application timeline

[m3m3m]

Hester - if your ILR was on or after 28 October 2013, then you have to "tick" the box on the application form.
Do you recall doing that? (some NCS gives a photo copy of that form too for your records )
and if you marked 'yes' then submit the same documents that you submitted for ILR again.

Normally 7 working days is provided as a window within which your additional supporting documents should reach UKVI.
There is a 24 hour fast track service from UK NARIC which costs around £252 provided you have a degree equivalent to graduation.

https://www.naric.org.uk/naric/individu ... Track.aspx

You can submit the points based calculator if your degree and university is getting recognised in its list of courses and universities,
but I personally suggest NARIC fast track is most certain and the quickest way .

Best of Luck,
Keep us updated about what further communication happens pertaining to missing / additional documents requests so all can get benefitted.

I received an email from UKVI to complete the customer satisfaction survey and give feedback about their service

I gave most importance to give a online tracking information to the applicants, which is currently not available.

I say to all those guys who got approvals to complete these survey so UKVI improve their level of service in future
