I am in the same situation! I been waiting for 10 months with no update. I involved my local MP but keep getting the same generic response. I thought my case was straight forward as I have no criminal offence neither in this country or any other countries. I also have clean immigration history. Please advise if you get any update!
Thanks
I been told they are doing some checks about my applications by contacting governmental departments and external agents and once all checks are done they will decide my application. But why checks would take 10 months. I requested Enhanced DBS and it takes less than a week. It is disappointing as I have a good profession and been living in this country for almost 12 years now. Paying taxes and servings the community.R-graphite wrote: ↑Fri May 03, 2019 7:09 pmWhat did they tell you when you contacted them?

I approached two solicitor to ask if any thing could be done. One said that it might be taking long because they do some audit for some applications. The other said that because I am from the mode east, they do extra checks. Not sure who to believe.
Yes I did 1 week ago through my local MP. Still did not hear from them. Do you know of any one else from the Middle East who is still waiting!R-graphite wrote: ↑Fri May 03, 2019 7:23 pmWhen did you last contact them. I am from the middle east too and I know my application has been submitted 3 months ago only but most applicants that applied during my time have already gotten it and I am worried it would take longer than I had ever expected.
Did you contact them recently?

I also requested FOI, and pending applications for non EU are 1265 vs 155 EU. Some pending applications are from middle East, Iran, Pakistan, USA, Germany. Also interesting to see that 570 of those were submitted in August! Possibly there is an issue with July and August applications.Adeel1979 wrote: ↑Wed May 22, 2019 3:13 pmI applied for my Naturalisation on 6 August 2018. Still waiting for a decision. Story is similar to everyone else who has posted in this group. Keep getting the same automated reply 'so far enquiries on your application are not completed'. Don't know what sort of enquiries are these which have taken 10 months now.
According to my FOI response. around 8000 applications were made in the month of August 2018 and only 570 are pending--unfortunately mine is one of them.
Prior coming to the UK I was working in the Middle East so that can be a reason for delay? dont know dont know
Please post if anyone of you get their decision so that we at least know how long do we have to wait more..
I do know it is up to the discretion of the secretary of the state but it should not be discriminatory. People should be treated equally!Zimba wrote: ↑Thu May 23, 2019 2:01 pmNationality applications are at the discretion of the secretary of the state and there will be no timeframe. This is NOT relevant to the immigration minister. British citizenship is NOT part of the UK immigration rules as it is covered under the nationality law
Hi, I have applied on the same day as you , 6th March, and also have not heard anything from Home Office. I have not not chased them for updates though, as I understand it's completely normal to wait for 2-4 months for a letter, considering current processing times...by Maraam » Thu May 23, 2019 11:53 pm
Hi
I made my application for naturalisation on the 6th March but still no any responses from HO as I can see HO start to process March applications
