I have booked for a private ceremony for 8th July @£30 quid. It is only reducing the waiting time by 1 week but I reckon it is worth it based on the long and expensive journey I been through. I hope yours comess soonest too.

name and spelling
current address
how I applied
Referee age
questions about my parents
and how many people live with me at current address

About five minutes or so

no question about credit report, mortgage, credit cards and banks etc

fingers crossed for Wednesday
I applied on Wednesday and received my original documents back on next Wednesday. Called IPS same day and they gave me ref number to book interview. Luckily got interview space on Saturday and that was really it.

Hi Guys, God has been good and I have got my approval. I was pleasantly surprised at the time it has taken:

Timelines:

NCS or Postal: NCS
Date of submission : 15 June 2010
CRITERIA - 2 years Spouse Visa + 1 Year ILR
Date of receipt of acknowledgment: 18 June 2010
Date UKBA made decision: I'm not sure tbh
Date of receipt of approval/ confirmation that my certificate of Naturalisation has been received from my local Council: 1 July 2010
Date of Ceremony: 16 AUG 2010

I've seen some posts, especially joelondon who I feel for, where you haven't heard for weeks. Don't despair, you'll find out sooner or later. Although it is difficult, refrain from thinking about it too much. Perhaps forget about it altogether to calm yourselves down. I did, and I was surprised and happy when I read my letter. So joelondon, my good friend, promise me that for the next two weeks you won't be worrying and posting on this blog, and who knows, your prayers might just get answered
