May 2015 Naturalization Application TIMELINE ONLY

[Vic4Jenny]

Hi Guys,

FYI, A close friend of mine who applied on the 1st of May 2015 got his approval yesterday.

This kinda suggests that they have started looking at May applications too but not sure in what order!

1st of May was a holiday buddy your friend must be a close friend of the queen to make HO do overtime for him/her

1st May was a Friday, 4th was a holiday, I think?

Yogi buddy, 1st wasn't a bank holiday but 4th was so would suggest you to be careful next time around before being sarcastic in an open forum

MisterLysenkiy. You also had an application approved from August 2014?? Which one is it mate?

Last year was me, this time is my wife.

You got Naturalization Approval for free ? lucky chap[/quote]

Actually they have taken the fee dated the same day as Acknowledgement letter.
But the progress is great indeed, taking into account the date 20-th of May. the whole process took 3 month and 10 days.

P.S. Brighton NCS is evil, with a very lazy person working there, also it is next to impossible to call them out, so the easiest is to come in person

[quote="arun.mpk"][quote="poppy913"][quote="arun.mpk"][quote="poppy913"]Hi guys, got a letter from home office requesting for some clarification before they "proceed to printing certificate". I applied on 15 May. Letter dated 28 Aug so looks like HO is starting to hit mid May applications. [/quote]

Congratulations buddy - that is super news! [/quote]

Well, it isn't like I already have my approval. Just want to cheer everyone on that HO is chugging along with May applicants [/quote]


Sorry - I thought they would only send out certificates for successful applications, no? [/quote]

Just trying not to count the chicks before the eggs hatch

what kind of clarification did HO want from you, Poppy??[/quote]

Hi it's specific to me. The way my name is arranged can be confusing ie; which is the surname and forename.

hi, did you have any special circumstances with your application? were you tier 1 general Visa for your 5 years n the UK? I applied before you and havent got mine back so wondering why the disparity.

[smartkhan]

There are no special circumstances here. Many people from March are still waiting. It's just the wait game.
