TIMELINE AFTER NATURALISATION APPLICATION SUBMISSION

[NiiKpani]

THERE IS A SEPARATE LETTER WHICH CAME WITH YOUR INVITATION. BRENT COUNCIL ARE READY TO DO FOR ME NEXT WEEK BUT BARNET ARE YET TO SEND ME A DATE OF CEREMONY, WHICH COULD BE IN 2 WEEKS. MY DEADLINE TO GET MY BRITISH PASSPORT IS END OF AUGUST!!!

THIS 6 MONTHS WAIT, WHERE DOES IT COME FROM? ARE THEY TELLING US THAT IN ORDER TO PAY #50.00 FOR NCS PROCESS OR WHAT? I SENT MINE DIRECTLY TO LIVERPOOL AND I HAVE MY OLD PASSPORT BACK NOW PLUS APPROVAL PLUS INVITATION AND WAITING DATE OF CEREMONY.

GOODLUCK TO THOSE WHO ARE YET TO HEAR FROM UKBA.

I too didnt use NCS. Neither did i send the original of anything i.e. including my passport, LUIK test etc. Had everything certified for a fiver and got my approval within 4 weeks, so this isnt unusual.

By the way i only received an invitation to ceremony letter at the time for those wanting to know

Just want to say thanks to all those who have participated on this forum, your input has invaluable. I am so excited about the approval and also that it was sooooo quick, under 3 weeks.

I used postal route and submitted prepaid special delivery envelope which they used, infact I supplied 2 (me and spouse) but they sent back the docs together in one envelope (including the other envelope) and there was one letter addressed to the both us (approval) which states that we NOT contact the council and should wait for invitation letter.

I cant wait, i am so excited

many thanks mate , now i just need to wait for the ceremony letter , do u know how long does it take ???

[sunny158]

Hi, fazdeen,

We almost applied at the same time, and we all got acknowledgment letter very quickly, that is just because they took payment fast. Now usually it takes one months to process, let us just wait, please we can keep posting if we have any update.

f2k got it in just over 2 weeks time, hopefully we can be that quick as well. However, one month waiting is fast too, and I dont think they treat postal or NCS application any difference.

Good Luck for you and me.

[Figsey]

Good Luck to all of us still waiting!!!

They have now sent an Ceremony date but not until September 2nd. I think i am going to have to do somewhere else sooner. I don't know why Barnet Council are doing it so far away!!!! I have my invitation letter already!!!
