Reckon they have moved the hit list to my hubbys application, note there is at least one applied before my husband and they have received theirs.

Do you think they are done by country each officer dealing with one country? Savas is Turkish, anyone else applying that is Turkish?

Hello All,

It's my time to share good news to all. ..

I have received my documents back on Friday 5th September. Here are the Timelines in my case....

WP to Tier 1 from UK
Applied (Along with 2 Dependants): 27-06-2008
Received: 30-06-2008
Reference given (PB**): 03-07-08
Fee Deducted : 04-07-08
Approval date: 28-08-2008 (Visa Stamped till Aug'11 )
Documents Received: 05-09-2008

It took apprx 9 weeks in my case. This forum is great & it has helped in many ways. I have been monitoring the cases since last 4 months on this forum & based on my case experience i can say that the time lines mentioned by any individual here is basically help as an guidance but the actual timeline in every case is different. I was told by the HO whenever i used to call them for status that it all depends on the case worker & also on the case, if the case is straight forward they process it within 6 weeks & others may take time depending upon the application...

Now the criteria of straight forward case is not know here, i guess they pick case randomly & process it but going by last 4 months average timeline i can say that it may take anywhere between 6 weeks to 12 weeks, so guys who have applied keep patience.

Thank you all providing valuable inputs & All the best to everyone who are still waiting..

This forum Rocks!!!

You have posted in the wrong topic and forum mate. This topic is specifically related to timelines for naturalisation applications.

There is a separate forum for Tier 1 where you should post the timelines for Tier 1 applications.

i send mine sometimes in Jun by post!have you got your douments back yet?did you phone them at all?
in the other website one guy had phone call(he sent his/her i jun too)from IND,he forgot to tick one of the boxes in the application form,it means they are working on the application fr jun finger cross we will hear something soon if they DONT delay it because we posted the application and did not use NCS.

[Cosmos328is]

[Mr_LoL]

Got my approval today by secure mail service with my passport back. Woohoo.

amir2002. It looks like they send you your passport back with the approval letter by secure mail services.
I applied on the 3rd of June and I got the approval letter today dated the 18th of September.

Congratulation MR LOL

Looking to many posts here and in other websites it seems average time now around 4 month between applying and receiving approval letter (not bad)
I think using NCS doesn’t make any different the only benefits is keeping your passport and any valuable documents which is fair enough for 40 £

[amir2002]

hello Mr_LoL

I didn't use ncs but its recommended because they check things you can miss.
