Hi All,

I applied for British citizenship along with my minor son, on 6th May,2015 through nationality checking service.So far I have not received any communication from home office except application money being debited from my account on 8th june.

I called home office and the nationality checking service helplines but both said since its less than 6 month, I should just wait. Can anyone please send me the relevant contact or emails that i can contact.

The following email address is bouncing :
NaionalityBiometrics@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk

I need to make travel arrangements in a couple months and this non response from home office is really stressing me out!

Hi

you can call 03001232241 and insist it's not normal to not receive Bio-metric invitation as more then 3 months has passed get your tracking number ready so they can advice tell them you are not asking about status of visa it's about Bio-metric invitation try to be forceful because home office has lazy staff not willing to help

Regards

[cannon3]

Thanks NasirNNN will call them again. But these people are really unhelpful!

[NasirNNN]

Hi fellow April Applicants,

I know the pain and stress of waiting as for me and my family is still waiting for the decision on our application. We applied via NCS 1st April and application was received by HO the next day. Acknowledgement letter was received 23 April.

I have also looked at the March timeline and for those who applied first and last week of March are still waiting. I started to get a bit anxious as there has been approvals who applied after me.. but is ahppy to know that they have received their approvals

Im starting to think that those that are still waiting like me has the same case worker who is currently on Holiday and is very slow in processing our application (just a thought).

Is there any of you who has the same timeline as me that are still waiting?

Thanks for all the updates. This site was very helpful to keep track of what's happening.

We applied for my wife Ncs 08/04/15 and bio metric did on 09/05/15. Approval received today dated 21/08/15.

She applied based on married to British citizen. Good luck to everyone waiting.

[chocolateorange88]

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed a pattern that the post 6th April approvals so far are about 3 and a half months after biometrics??

[Amritsar singh]

So end off August now so we will start new news next month from 1th September good luck to everyone

[mkawan19]

Hello everyone, i was a silent reader of this forum and just to update you all that i have received approval for son application (Received 29th August dated:26th August first through first class, white envelope) but still waiting for my daughter's approval.
I applied for my son and daughter on 24 April 2014 through NCS. i think i submitted biometric on 27th May for both. It looks like either HO had less applications for April or they have speedup the process.

[landcruiser94]

Hello Everyone,
I've got the greatest news! I opened my post box today (Sunday) to find the 2nd class brown envelope! I had checked my post box on Saturday around 12:15pm thinking the postman must have been and there was no letter then. I only checked today as an afterthought on my way to the mall and imagine my biggest surprise!

Date of approval: 20th Aug
Date delivered by postman: 29th Aug
Date retrieved from post box: 30th Aug
Date of ceremony: I need to call the council to book

Also, I used the change of circumstances weblink to change my address and they sent the approval to my new address even though they never acknowledged my request.

Guys, for you all waiting, your approval is probably sorted and on its way to you. Be strong guys! I really wasn't expecting this pleasant surprise on a Sunday considering I was only just having a good whinge a few days ago!
