could anyone tell me please how long it will take???
dont want to wait anymore

No one can tell you, but looking at some of the previous applications, average processing time is close to 4 months, so if you are lucky, you will receive it this year. Considering the holidays are coming, don't be surprised if it takes longer. Good Luck!

That is the right....and how they past the life in UK ? Could something dodge....

[UK-Tiers]

My ILR was approved in the 185th day (almost six months), now AN1 application can also take the same amount of time, and I'm prepared for wait (approval or rejection).

I sincerely suggest everyone to stop speculating on case workers' proficiency and efficiency, and also please stop commenting on english language expertise of fellow members and start reading the Magna Carta (informative and fundamental)

This post is rightly titled as timeline and not timescale.

[benbencil]

My apologies for that...

Any approval yet for 25/09

[aragon]

Guys, Can we stick with just the Timelines on this thread. If you have any questions or queries or compliments use the main forum or send Private message to individuals.

And stop asking silly questions like any approvals. Cuz, if I am reading this thread, I would be sure to stick my approval as soon as I get it. Rather than wait for someone to remind me of it.

Congratulations to all those who have their coveted brown envelope !

I'm still waiting for mine, submitted 8th Sept ... though mine is through B(OTA) form as a Registration of British Citizenship (5+ yrs in UK), not sure if this takes longer or not.

I shall keep waiting (and hoping) that some good news come in time for Xmas !

Hello,

Have you tried to call them? Perhaps they could provide with some clarity on what is going on with your application.

Hi,

The form did say up to 6 months so I'm probably being impatine if anything, also I'm not sure calling them gets anyone the correct advice anyway !

Hello all,
Just wanted to post my timeline as this forum has been really helpful while I was awaiting the coveted brown envelope!!! I must confess I have been very fortunate, as I believe mine has been rather quick and the whole process for me took about 2 1/2 months. I would have posted this earlier but I had issues verifying my email.

Date of Application: 21st September 2015
Eligibility criteria: spouse of an EEA citizen (5 years) + 1 year PR
Method of application: NCS North Shields
Payment method: visa card
Date of receipt by UKBA: Sent off by NCS on 21st sept 2015, received by Ukba on 22nd September 2015
Date of acknowledgement : letter received on 6th October 2015, dated 4th october 2015
Date money gone off account: 4th october 2015
Date of letter requesting biometrics: 4th October 2015 - came same day as acknowledgement letter.
Biometrics done: 12th October 2015
Date of approval : 4th December 2015 - approved and letter received 14th December 2015. I actually received my invite to the citizenship ceremony from the council (on the 12th December 2015 which was a Saturday) before the approval letter which was quite good, as i then knew I would be receiving my letter on Monday.
Date of ceremony : 13th January 2016, unfortunately, I would not be in the uk for this and tried to reschedule with the council. I was told the next ceremony would be on the 16th of March 2016 which unfortunately, would be after the 3 month period required to have the ceremony done. I have contacted home office and was given an email address in which to write asking for an extension but I have heard nothing yet..... Would keep you informed....
Date applied for passports : Waiting
Date passports received : Waiting

Good luck all those still waiting, I know how frustrating it is always waiting for the postman to bring your brown envelope only to be disappointed. Hopefully it would be over soon.
