Application Raises Exceptionally Complex Issue

[Chilli_garlicsauce]

My cousin applied for their British Citizenship exactly 8 weeks ago and received an email this morning stating that the application raises exceptionally complex issues and the application won’t be processes within 6 months.

Could someone here please shed some light on this email? Is it a fairly common occurence?

Many thanks in advance!

Its common yes.

[Chilli_garlicsauce]

Thanks a lot. Did it result in a successful application for those who got this email?

We haven't seen reports of refusals based on this email - also the refusal rate for naturalisation generally is relatively small, there are only very few reasons why applications fail, primarily due to statutory requirements not met. Cynics might say these emails are really saying they are late in processing, rather than an indication of issues with the application.

[Chilli_garlicsauce]

That is very re-assuring. Thank you so much for the prompt responses.

My wife recieved this email and then received her confirmation letter/email around 1 week later.

@Fourstar,

Can you desist from asking everyone for updates on their applications? Stands you well to seek your clarification or questions in your own thread.

Thank you for advise my friend but I may ask u to pls relax. Democratically it’s ok to ask for follow up.

Congratulations!

Presumably there was no mention of the "complex issues" - I wouldn't expect so.
