Finally, I got my Passport fee cleared on 18th March. I couldn't able to wait for long time to contact NCS again. So I sent an email to "nationalityenquiries@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk" explaining my case (given ref nos, date of application, NCS name etc.,) and requesting to check my passport payment status (but not my application status, as they simply refuse and ask to wait minimum 6 months) as it is not cleared for long time after the application.manav1111 wrote:srivisaN wrote:Hi manav1111,
I just called the lady at NCS. Are you the same person who called her a 1 week back. She told that someone already called her last week with this kind of issue.
I think she already checked with home office, they said that there might be 2 possible issues..
1. Error with the passport payment form (if this is the case they will try to contact you and ask you to do the payment)
2. Initially they used to take passport fee first and AN fee, now they are taking AN fee first and then passport fee. In either case they asked her to wait till the Ceremony is finished.
Unfortunately she asked me to wait for 2 more weeks and if things didn't move asked me to call back so that she will call HO again.
Yes, I called them a week back. Got the same reply as you. Not sure if I believe that though, I think, this is an issue with how they send / mark the application.
Anyways, can't do much really, will call her again in 2 weeks. At least with 2 persons calling, there will be some pressure on her to do something.
We should have gone by the reviews and should have applied at Brent/Wandsworth/Hackney.
All we can do is wait, please let me know if you have any further updates.
Thanks,
Sri.

Can anyone please advise how many days we have after the approval letter to book the ceremony. Does the approval letter date contain the date of the ceremony or do we have to book it ourselves.
The reason I ask is because I am planning to be away for 2 weeks and concerned what would happen if the brown envelope arrives while I am away.
Thanks
Within 21 days. Some councils will directly advise you of your ceremony date (which you can call to rearrange if the proposed date is unsuitable), and in other cases, your home office approval/invitation letter will ask you to call your council to book your ceremony yourself.Sofiathefirst wrote:Can anyone please advise how many days we have after the approval letter to book the ceremony.
