Hi Malik15, I am not far from you - 13 months and counting
Applied in 2nd October 2015 and still no decision. Every time I contact Home Office I get exactly the same reply checks are not complete - I got a letter last June saying it will take a further 3-6 months, well it is over the further 3-6 months and still no news!
below the latest reply I got from them!
I hope it is helpful to explain that naturalisation is not an automatic process and we have to make a number of enquiries before we can reach a decision on whether to grant citizenship.
Our website states that we aim to process 95% of naturalisation applications within six months. It is made clear on the website that, in some cases, applications may take longer than six months to complete.
Our nationality team is subject to close scrutiny, regarding the way in which we deal with citizenship applications. On that basis, it is in our best interests to ensure that we handle all applications in accordance with the relevant law, policy and instructions.
As soon as all of our enquiries have been completed, a decision will be taken on Mr xxxxxxx's application and we will inform him of the decision immediately.
I hope this information is of assistance.
