March 2015 Naturalization application timeline

[jaweb]

Guys,

As I wrote it so many times before. Just Chill out! You have nothing else to do just wait. It is not so stressful thing!
I wish this would be the biggest problem in our lives

Just try to forget everything and enjoy your time with your family instead of moaning here how stressful this waiting is
It just sounds childish

it's 2 months we have sent my husband's application and we accepted to wait. This is life. Most of days we even forget about it. I just log in once per week as I am not bothered about it.

Anyway have a nice long weekend for everyone!

I am just going to enjoy this time with my husband and my 2 beautiful boys instead of eagerly waiting for the postman
Advise to do the same instead of killing each other on this forum...

Sorry, I don't mean to offend anyone but I hope I have a right to write down my opinion as well

congratulations you are the closest one to mine who got his approval, and because they sent your approval via 2nd class even when you provided the prepaid special delivery, I will not track my mail.
hope I will get mine soon.

I can't imagine how quick my approval was even though it took nearly three weeks to deduct the money from my account. Surprisingly was expecting a letter from council this morning.Because I only received my approval yesterday date 26th of April.my ceremony is for the 6th of May so quick for me.

Congrats!

[hestervanderpoll]

I'm celebrating a very special day today....my 46th
birthday.

[fwd079]

This is for my wife.
Her application has been approved today and private ceremony is booked for Tuesday.

Yay, another one! Congratulations!

Thanks, just a point to note. Surprisingly the Council letter arrived before brown envelope and brown letter came next day. So it is possible that council might send you letter before you receive brown letter from Home Office, as they get certificate for you, so please do not worry if you get one after/before another.
