TIMELINE AFTER NATURALISATION APPLICATION SUBMISSION

[gainvidya]

I calculated the trend of dates and believe me all the dates are spot on as per my expectation. It was a straight forward case.....

NCS or Postal : NCS
Date of submission or posting : 08/02/2010
Date recieved by HO: 09/02/2010
CRITERIA: 6 Yrs WP + ILR
Date of debit of Card : 11/02/2010
Date receipt of acknowledgement :15/02/2010 (Dated 11/02/2010)
Date of receipt of approval letter : 03/03/2010 (dated 20/02/2010)
Date of citizenship Ceremony : TBD

Got the Approval letter in 24 days

Updated. Strange approved date is of sat!

How come you received the receipt of acknowledgement on the same day if payment was deducted on 11/02/2010? As it takes couple of days to receive the receipt of acknowledgement.

Was your referee convicted or charged of anything? If not than it should be fine - thats one of the conditions on the application.

If he is on bail, then he must have been charged with something significant. Might be a problem - They may ask you to provide another referee. I suggest you pre-empt that and find another potential referee in case they ask for it.

[Eskar]

which mean u should receive it by saturday, i suppose your council would reiceve it by friday. you can also give a call to council tomorrow afternoon.

[Eskar]

London102,

if your letter is due on tuesday as council receive it on monday. it suppse to be post by today. you might like to give them call end of the day to confirm.

What all the person on the other side told me was to wait for 7-10 business days and nothing else.

Regards

No bail does not mean the person is charged..It means still under investigation

Hi Jerryanderson,

I think being on bail normally means he has been charged and therefore arrested for an offence, but not yet convicted. Although I believe in certain cases people can be arrested without charge and bail.

Either way, its best for you to have a back-up plan and another referee lined up.

thank My friend for your help this is stressing me out trying to find another reference!

Atleast its good that application has moved from initial checks to underconsideration stage now
