Just call them and ask for two things :1.put a Priority flag for your file because it is more than a year old.( that's their own guidelines)shire19 wrote:Coming 9th of May, I would have been waiting 1 year for an decision on my naturalisation application. Lately I have contacted my MP and he has in return contacted the Home Office on my behalf. The reply that came back said that they are doing character checks and its time-period has no limit.
As an EEA national and an resident of Europe for most of my life, I find it strange that security checks such as these would take so long as they should be readily available.
Anyone have any suggestions on what else I can do to speed this process up?
They would contact me if they couldnt check up on one of my references right?
thanks in advance

Link here...applications made since January will take up to seven months to complete. Someone who applied in June 2008 should not expect to here from us before the end of December 2008.
jonbon: did you apply via NCS (so you have your Indian passport in your possession right now), or via post (so the Home Office has your passport)? If you have your passport and you're just waiting for an invitation to a citizenship ceremony, I don't see why you can't travel in the meantime. I recently went to Italy while my application was (still is) outstanding. If you need your passport back to travel, that's a different story...Hi folks
I applied on 21st June 2008. CC Debit and acknowledgement was on 1st July 2008. I'm hoping to hear in next 2 months.
The thing is I want to travel to India in Oct/Nov. time. Can I do so on my Indian Passport?
Thanks for help in advance.
Regards
Jon.
Bravo for not giving up your passport during the application processI applied via NCS and yes have my passport with me. The only thing I am concerned with is that I book my tickets to travel in October by which time I might get British Citizenship but not the British Passport or the Indian OCI visa....so I'm wondering..If I just attend the ceremony...can I still go to India on Indian passport?
