I think the image is not full visible , i tried my best to show it full. but anyhow i will type it here again what you cant see.

If your application is approved ,you will need to take part in a citizenship ceremony. The venue will normally be within a local authority area near where you live . If you want to have your ceremony in another area you should give us details of the local authority location below.

Hi, quick question every one
Its going to be 6 month on 9th of this month since i applied for naturalisation application
Since receiving my acknowledgement lettr via email , havnt heard any thing from Horrible office , (not even that letter which i heard people get if HO cant make descion within the 6 month time frame
What could be best to do
Contact MP
Launch formal complaint
Or just contact their telephone hepline
From all application i made this is the worse time taken for application so far .
I ll appreciate and be really grateful for ur responce
Thanks

Rana Ali my personal suggestion is that you should contact HO after 09/09/15.... They will tell you about your case update and then on the basis of that information you can try other channels eg MP etc

I have almost lost all hope on that brown letter.. I think I may have to accept it and plan for the next steps (??? - Really Donno what to do!)

I applied on 30/March with my Wife and 1 kid. Either HO is taking their time to process family applicants or there is sometime not right with my application... Only God knows!

I agree that service standard is terrible, but I think people getting their letter after 10 days is not down to 2nd class post. Post only takes 2 days, try sending yourself one.

I think they are printing the letter and then either holding it so they can batch them together or it goes through final check by senior case worker. Either way its a rubbish process.
