TIMELINE AFTER NATURALISATION APPLICATION SUBMISSION

[mrsahmed]

[quoteHi there,
Congrats,
My NCS told me it takes 4 months and your case appears to be like that. Other peoples applications seems to be processed in about 6-8 weeks? What caused delay? Did they talked to your referees? etc?

we submitted ours in february and still have heard nothing back, we would have been satisfied with a 4 month wait!

Did you sent thru NCS and did you contact HO. They normally decide within 6 months?[/quote]

we did send through ncs, and we have contacted the ho many times to be told the same thing over and over. We are waiting for the checks to come back, they said the same to our MP. just give up really because there is nothing we can actually do. have emailed a formal complaint aswell but waiting on that.

You might talk to a lawyer and seek compensation and pre-dated approval?
This really scares me as I always get in this kind of event without any issue!

ICEBREAKER, I was relying on you but soon you'll dissappear as ur case is sorted now.. Congrats.

Any advice of who to contact as I sumitted thru NCS on 20 October 2010 and fee deducted on 2/11/10 but no more update. Long and exhaustive wait.. Please any one help with advice or any number to contact on (not the 0845 number where the tape says call if your application was submitted more than six months ago).

Happy New Year to all.....

hi Ice-Breaker
very sad to know that you'r still waiting, hope soon will be hear good news from you. Good Luck. BJ21

Just called UKBA and was informed by the person that a decision has been made on 17th dec..( i have not received approval or rejection letter yet)

he did not reveal the outcome though...

i called the council where i wanted to have my ceremony but they told me that they have not got anything on the register..

call them on the same number with the last option (6 months), since this is the only way to contact the HO to find out your application status.

Now I'm preparing the passport application. Since it doesn't seem clear to me what is issuance place in the naturalization certificate, should I fill the name of the local registration office in the "issuance place" box of section 5, where the ceremony took place? or just simply leave the box blank?

Thanks in advance for your clarification!

Your Council name (where you planning to take Ceremony)

Councils do not issue certificates.
They pass them onto you.

Actually, my certificate states it is issued by: HOME OFFICE LONDON.

All the certificate issued from HO London.

it is up to you .....

but read form carefully ..."Where is your naturalization certificate issued"....
After oath you need to sign the new citizen book in council and that clear mention "Certificate issued" ...
I have wrote my council name .... and got my PP without any issue .. but if some thing changed in last 2 to 3 month than no idea.
I have gave you my experience ...
