May 2015 Naturalization Application TIMELINE ONLY

[smartkhan]

My colleague who applied on 3rd Feb got his approval today. It was straight forward application but still took ages to get processed. Looks like we gonna have to wait a little longer. Home Office is taking it's sweet time.

My friend who applied on 16th January got his approval few days ago His application was straight forward too.

Hello Coronat i had the same problem you need to email nationalitybiometrics@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk with your details and your case id if you have one and they will send you the biometric letter.

Emailed them, they replied within a day saying I need the postage reference. I gave themnthat 2 weeks ago...no reply. Resent, no reply.

The nationality enquiries email..I send them an email every week..no reply!

No travelling for me this summer, so wanted to visit home!

Hi All,

Can someone help me out to complete the AN form?
I am a director of my limited company. I am not sure whether I will have to enter the details of being a director of my company for the question 1.53 Employment History. Can someone help me out?

Hi All,

Can someone help me out to complete the AN form?
I am a director of my limited company. I am not sure whether I will have to enter the details of being a director of my company for the question 1.53 Employment History. Can someone help me out?

The guide for Form AN states:

"1.48- 1.53 You must provide details of your current and previous employment during
the past 10 years

If you do not pay income tax through PAYE you must demonstrate that you have
discharged your obligations towards the H.M. Revenue & Customs, by attaching a
Self Assessment Statement of Account."

Being a Director is your employment. So yes.

letter from case worker with documents : 10th July 2015


Date approval received: just got letter received from case worker approved waiting for ceremony letter
Date of ceremony: waiting

Very straightforward application.
my application took nearly six month and I was asked supporting documents twice which was very frustrating but thanks Allah as received the letter from my case worker it has been approved but waiting for my ceremony invitation letter from home office but hopefuly will get that soon insha Allah , well I was asked twice supporting documents asking for 10 years p60 and and letter from uni asking for attentence letter cnfirming my attendance, which was strange, requested from uni they advised me as I hv studied full time that's the proof , but any way got a letter from uni mentioning it that attendance was full time and was good then was asked again to send original degree and all passport , how can could I give them attend proof as did in 2007 very strange but thanks Allah sorted out now , also I want to mention here I did not hv p60 of 10 years I only provided from 2011, 12, and 13 well I said I do not hv it as lost it and the employers does not keep record for more than 3 years that what I wrote a letter to my case worker but case worker was v complicated, i used to take advise twice when got letters from case worker mean Solisitor , u better take advise from solisitor just advise it's worth believe me thank u but still a bit tense coz hv not got final letter from home to attend the cermony still waiting finger crossed

congratulation ali i have applied for naturalization on 22nd of may but sill even waiting for bio and ack letter but if you could tell how you sort it out inquiry from case worker how did you provide proof of full time attendance and 10yrs employment as i have got only 3yrs proof i think they are delaying because they are looking into more info



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

Hi Coronat. We are similar to you in that we are from RSA, family of 4 applicants, Applied 25/05/2015. Our biometric letters arrived within a week of each other but on different days. Very frustrating when you all want to go do it together preferably on a Saturday. Lets hope it all comes together soon. [/quote][/quote]

How come the fees were deducted before the application date?

[tier2_cts]

Hi All,

I have submitted my application last Friday.
I have submitted my passport as a proof of identity, but I had used my BRP card which was issued in 2013, before getting my ILR, for Life in UK test.
I have not written any cover letter for the same.
Is this fine?
