Btw what I know they never tells you about decision on phone whether its in your favour or not and before 6 months they dont disclose anything relevant to decision .So who knows next week is yours . Good luck :)
Well I just asked if the decision has been made yet and he said not yet. Hope you are right tulip and next week will be mine, yours and all who applied in the first week of March :)

hi,

morning every1 just got the ceremony letter yesterday dated 18.05.15 buked the ceremony on 03rd june

pls if any mods can help me with these questions as my wife will be applying soon...

1) just want to clarify few things regarding my wife application ,she will be applying soon as the spouse of the british citizen

in the new form there is a question" If your partner is a naturalised British citizen enter date they were granted this citizenship"

is this date will be when I will be getting the certificate or the date on the letter of approval

2) she will be sending the application by post also in the form section 6 it says.....

"SECTION 6 Evidence of marriage for applications made on the basis of marriage or civil partnership to a British citizen.
• Your spouse’s or civil partner’s current passport or naturalisation/registration certificate showing that he/she is a British citizen. If you are making your application by post you can send a complete and full copy of your spouse’s or civil partner’s current passport. Every page of the passport must be copied including any blank pages; And
• The marriage certificate or civil partnership certificate"

so she need to send my original naturalisation certificate and ppt copy including the blank pages or just the original naturalisation certificate with the marriage certificate will do the job or shud I send my original ppt and naturalisation certificate and marriage certificate

called council hasn't got my details yet ...the next ceremony is on 20/05/2015 will try calling again ,hopefully will get the certificate on wednesday

Can take up to 2 weeks. Especially now it's bank holiday again so it may be later. If 2 weeks are gone and not heard anything then I would call HO

YOUR wife can apply as a spouse of BC as soon as you get the certificate. The passport is for TRAVELLING as it is a travel document.

Your wife needs your certificate, her passport and proof she has been resident for at least 3 years of UK

Got a call from the case worker a couple of days ago, checking some information within the application.
Informed me that the decision should come through the post within the next two weeks. Fingers crossed for the positive one!
Received my approval! Funny enough, received first the letter from the council (on 29th May, dated 27/05) informing us that we've been booked for the ceremony next on the 3rd June. Received the letter from the Home office today, dated 20th May :)

Good luck to anyone waiting!

31st March 2015 naturalisation application

Post by ketanvora » Mon Jun 01, 2015 12:35 pm

I applied for naturalization on 31st March 2015 along with my spouse and two children via NCS in Hatfield.
I received acknowledgment letter somewhere around mid of April 2015.
However, I have not received any approvals so far (its been two months now since application) and my case is very clear without any issues (5 years + 1 year ILR).

Has anybody received approvals for applications submitted on 31st March 2015 or later? Just wanted to check if my case is held up in particular or generally 31st March and beyond approvals are not coming yet.

Thanks.

Nobody in the April thread has gotten an approval. So your timeline is totally normal, if that makes you feel any better.
You're next.

There is nothing else you can do. I had to change my address too. I followed the steps on the link and was worried if my information was updated after filling that form. I contact HO and requested a call back. Someone from nationality team called me back and said that webpage works fine even tho it's a beta service.
