May 2015 Naturalization Application TIMELINE ONLY

[blackfox]

Hi

Is there anyone who applied on 5th may 2015 and is still waiting? I applied on 5th May and now its only a week left to reach the 6th month timeline. Worried if anything is wrong

Thanks

i applied 7 May.Biometrics on the 22 June. since then,the silence from HO has been too loud. i think we deserve better. look at it this way,we are paying £1005 for this service and we are getting a raw deal here. this is ridiculous.

[ArtfulBadger]

I applied in March, not a peep, not even an acknowledgement that my paperwork arrived (besides my registered signed-for receipts).

Their methods are opaque, and they hold all the cards...

You are not wrong. They have a very good excuse that they recieve so many applications and so forth. But do they ever consider how much money they are earning from those applications! And when you try to call them for an update, their behaviour is so rude! They could atleast be polite and let people know the status so that atleast people can be saved from this mental harassment.

[spidyuk]

do anyone has the stats of how many May applications are still pending ?

You will get it soon. MY FRIEND had exactly the same timeline as yours and He got his approval last week so yours would be on its way soon.

My recommendation is you should contact your local MP.

Another day past with no approval
Apply 20 May 2015, still waiting

[saffa2015]

Update

The wait is over (almost)! Today, I received a call from my MPs office that confirmed that my application was approved on 23/10/2015. I contacted my MP ahead of the six month mark as I required an urgent response due to travel arrangements. I am still waiting for the approval letter from HO as well as the ceremony invitation letter, but very happy and relieved.

To everyone still waiting: I know how frustrating the last few months have been and I truly hope you all receive your approvals very soon. Good luck!

[digitalrev]

Same here mona, I sent my application via royal mail next day special delivery on 1st of may and it was received by HomeOffice on 5th of May. I included next day special delivery envelope for returning my application, everyday I track the envelope on royal mail website with the hope one day my application will be approved. but my hopes keep fading away.
