Hi there just fell upone this great forum today while i was looking for some info/advice on the web, i've read some really useful comments from individuals who sound like they know what they're talking about, so some help or advice would be very much appreciated.
So heres the story, I applied for citizenship when i was 18 back in 2007 i received the letter saying they've got the application etc in November of the same yr, Rang them up last November as it had been 24 months, and some lady it Tipp says "you're be hearing from us by the first week in Jan 2010" U can imagine how excited i was about the new year.... 4 months later, Nada. I spoke to someone in the actual department of Justice in the ministers office and he said they are waiting on a report.
Here is where it gets a bit complicated, i'm now a 20 yr old Univesity Student, i have to go on an "ERASMUS" exchange programme starting August this year untill July 2011 in france, I still have not yet heard from them, I wrote to the ppl in Tipp and they said oh, we cant really tell you when you will hear from us, we wil contact you in due course..etc. Im now wating nearly 30 months. It seems like a Life time, can not imagine how 53 months would be like. I've no criminal record.
Assuming i hear from them at some point after August, i can't exactly leave College in France and come back and wait for a naturalisation certificate and then a passport, i'd be looking at 2 months off college....
I now have to apply for a Long stay visa at the french embassy, was there lst week and they are infairness not the nicest ppl to deal with.
Any pointers or advice as to what to do would be appreciated.
Much love

Do you mind telling us the following:
1. Under which basis did you apply?
2. Do you know what reports are they waiting for?
Best of luck.
