Only one debit for the payment and one acknowledgement with all the documents details those submitted.raja_no_1 wrote:If a family of 4 applies for the citizenship..how many acknowledgment letter is sent by the home office once the payment is deducted..is this one or 4 letters for the 4 applications made?
I rang up the HO this morning and they confirmed that it still hadn't arrived. It's been 5 days now. If it doesn't arrive either today or tomorrow I'm screwed, as on the 10th May 2006 I was boarding a plane to go away. If, say, it arrives on the 11th, should it just as well withdraw my application because it will surely fail, or should I risk it and send maybe a letter detailing 'special circumstances' (of which there are some in my case)?Glauco wrote:1st Recorded Class is rubbish.
Only special delivery guarantees next day delivery.
BUT having said that, they may have received your application and the Royal Mail page never shows the delivery properly. It happens to 1st and 2nd class recorded. It's absolutely crap.
I have sent 1st class recorded letters which already reached the destination 1 month ago and it still shows as "being processed through the network".
Ring HO on Wednesday, withdraw your application if they haven't received it by cob Tuesday, that's what I'll do.daniash wrote:I rang up the HO this morning and they confirmed that it still hadn't arrived.

Bloody Royal Mail. And bloody me for not sending it next day guaranteed.
The next time I was in the UK 5 years ago is in September. That's why I am so frustrated.gidoc wrote:I think HO will return your application to be dated afresh, when you can make sure that you were in the UK on that date 5 yrs ago. It doesn't matter if they take the money,so do not worry, your application may get delayed thats all , not rejected and they will not charge you twice.
The application first goes straight to the account department, so its worthwhile speaking to them when they acknowledge receipt on phone, which may be difficult as it will appear on the system only when the 'accounts dept' log it in after taking the money!!
all the best
Indeed, thats very frustrating!The next time I was in the UK 5 years ago is in September. That's why I am so frustrated.
Even if I do as they say I'll have to wait another 4 months during which I can't travel or apply for jobs. :'(
I will suggest that You also call royal mail to confirm delivery date before u call to with draw your application. Usually they deliver but they don't bother updating, its happened to me before and they were able to confirm the delivery date for me over the phone. As you flew out on the 10th of May, that might not count as being absent as u were in the UK on that day.... I think Its from the 11th of May u should start to get worried.daniash wrote:

You've got to be KIDDING me. Just my luck AGAIN! I'm completely shafted then. No hope at all then, my application will fail. P.S. And I hope they ALL get sacked.

Hey Ferrarilondon, I completely agree with you. It was my employer who was very keen and always asks for an update. I have said to HR, pls do not tempt me as it is very hard to resist. I am planning to call thim this coming Friday. I applied on 17th March, reached HO on 23 March, Card got deducted on 27th Marchferrarilondon wrote:Oluwa its good to see one's progress. I am trying my best not to call HO for atleast next few days. I am sure people know how it is to divert your attention when you feel like calling HO about your progress. what about Kamilan ? any update on your side buddy.
