I guess it is maybe worth calling the HO for the update as to what is happening - need more info or wait another few weeks etc.mfaheem wrote:I applied on 20th of Jan and still waiting, do you think calling council might give any clue!!
Yes I contacted HO last week and was told someone will call me back, well they did today (and its not even the case worker just someone who worked at the Sheffield office) and all he said was the application is ongoing and no decision has been made yet and to give it another 6 - 8 weeks, that will take it into September!!, then call again if I have not heard from them. He said they are experiencing some delays (but why in my case?). He says if they need anything they will contact me. I guess this is the usual spiel they give when chased for delays. Well good luck to us still waiting.

I suggest to write an email to HO with your reference number provided in the acknowledgement letter and enquire about the status of your naturalization application. Also its worth contacting your MP regarding your application. I was given the same reply by HO over the phone and then decided to chase HO and contact MP .

Yes mate. I'm still waiting. Applied 26th Jan. Called them and received the same response: "still under consideration".residentuk wrote:Sill waiting. More than 7 months now. Called HO - and got a call back as well. They are saying nothing but its still under consideration. Straightforward applications. Don't know what is happening?
Applied end of January. Acknowledgment by email on the 5th of February!
Anyone else waiting from January!?
