Hello, can someone guide me with tested method, how to inform UKBA for address change for the Naturalization application, the following link which was mentioned with acknowledgement letter seems not working. Thanks

Very straightforward application.
It's been 4 weeks and I haven't heard a peep out of the UKBA.

I would phone them up, if no luck maybe try NCS.

According to the forum members, they had experienced to call NCS for assistance and disclosed that the NCS staff could direct contact caseworker for request as well. Luckily that the member could get reply from them. So I have tried to called to NCS for my naturalisation application today morning. The lady replied that they had no responsibility to make follow up action for the case when it was sent to HO. She showed understanding on me and requested me to wait with patience. Since then, "Try NCS" does not work for me.

My case :

Date of application : 22.6.2015 by NCS
Date of receipt by HO : 23.6.2015
Date of EMAIL acknowledgement : 29.6.2015
Date of clearance of fees (by Cheque): 1.7.2015
Date of letter acknowledgement/Bio : Waiting

June Naturalisation application Timelines refers, most of members had got their letters for acknowledgement and Bio who applied it after me. I am really worry about that it may be lost during postage. I also call to HO at 0300 123 2253 today morning, he just requested me wait patiently and could not checked whether the relevant letters had been sent out or not. I will leave Uk this week and return at the end of August. Nothing I can do but keeping all request documents to HO & waiting with patience.

I want to know who is/are still waiting for letter for acknowledgement and biometrics after having email acknowledgement from HO at the end of June?

Look u hv applied in May , it takes time when ur case has been given to case worker, first they deduct money, then bio and then they checking ur Crb and driving licence n criminal offence and then the case goes to case worker so u got be patient , relax n calm , u can get letter from ur uni that u were full time student if they ask you , they do not contact uni directly they write to u if they think it's necessary,coz home office are v busy if u hv not any acknowledgemeny letter simply ring or mail to them and also e mail them or u can also contact nsc if u hv applied through them , they hv direct number for home office concern department and thier enquires are dealt instantly contact the council if u hv applied through them the rest calm n cool , do not send anything if they hv not asked u , if u do not hv p60 it's not a big deal simple is that as you do not hv , I hv spoken to Solisitor he said if u do not Hv u do not hv simple is that , also in ur degree or certificate they mention full time so that's also the proof , I was also self employed , all I did got a letter from my accountant that I m self employed and hv I paid all taxes in ur case if u r? All the Best thanks but be cool Plz I know it's v frustrating I know that

If fee is deducted and you have not received any biometric and acknowligment letter this is defiantly not normal. You need to contact them. Few guys on this forum who did not receive biometric letters have contacted them and were told that your biometric request letter has been issued long time back and they only give you 15 days to get your biometrics recorded and then they issue another letter for 15 days to get your biometrics done. and if you don,t do it again, they will say your application as in valid.
But you can only do it if get a biometric requst letter. you need to contact them by email since people receiving the phone are bunch of idiots as we have learned on this forum. And every time you call you will get a different answer to the same question. The address you are sending email may not be correct and I think you need to send request to biometric team. You should be able to find that address from this forum as I have defiantly seen some where here. Plz scroll it through and I will also try to find it. Take care and best wishes.

hi guys .as I was expected I received my refusal letter today . I apply in the end of January . used ncs who they called the ho ,the adviser told the lady at ncs that I can apply if I can prove some extra papers mainly about my wife , any way the reason were 2 things boths were not realy true
1- been illegal for 5 years ,that was not true as I claimed asylum seeker on the first day and my application was refused after 3 years so I was illegally for 2 years not 5 and they never menschen that I claimed asylum on my arrival and I was offered a temporary stay the adviser on phone with ncs was aware about this and said u can apply
2- I provided with documents clearly show I was working illegally( never said when or wish period) . not true and I think they talking about the period when I apply for residence card (they give me a letter state that I can work wile my application on progress and im legaly now so I find job one week after I received the latter) and the date when I received my residence card that was 11 months later .
any advise please
