Hello Mindhunter,

Thank you as you respond and best of luck to everyone....

Wonder if naturalisation app through 10 year route's ILR takes longer or same time as other applicants?
Also should joint applicants take longer?

Worry
Frustrated
Hopeful
Jealous
Had thought if I got a response by June, will travel to Europe later this year, but all doomed and gloom

Thanks imraniqbal2010! I like how they scold you when you are only asking for information. You're a hero. Based on the fact 27k people have applied since the beginning of the year that means our application fees total about £25m just for the first 3 months of 2015!

Damn it! I missed to think about a small fortune they've made in 3 months and still have an audacity to have a go at one!

Thanks a lot for this information. I personally feel the surge in application in March is always going to be the case with the Fees always going up in first week of April every year. What I found really strange is that in the spreadsheet that someone uploaded here (google docs), there were a couple of March cases which were dealt with within 10/12/13 days which is really odd. They are never so efficient

But anyways, the results show that the decisions are coming out quite randomly and does not depend when you submitted/money deducted. Good luck to everyone.
