Yes, the guy on the phone confirmed that, but I’m not sure about that. They sometimes give you general answers. I’m not aware how long does it takes the caseworker to make a decision, any light?That sounds positive. Did they say it was with a caseworker?

The NCS personnel said it's a busy time because many people want to send in their application before the new fees take effect, and that there are many applications HO is dealing with and that generally application takes no more than 8weeks during this period.
Well, I better hope mine won't take more than 4weeks, else the waiting will drive me nuts.

Special thanks to Bhumi, VSAndroid, FerrariLondon, oluwa112...the list goes on....you guys were fantastic and helped me to keep the faith at the very last minute......i Love you guys and before sharing with my family, I thought to drop a note here.......now, on to the citizenship ceremony, but I'll sure take my time now as I've not had more than 4hrs sleep at night for the last one week, thinking of what could possibly go wrong with my application. Thank God, it's all over now after serious 7years commitments to this wonderful island.

@ferrari, how long did it take for your approval letter to come through. I am still awaiting mine. as posted earlier, the descision was taken last Thursday
I called HO yesterday - answer is still "on going".
I am planning to fax HO and politely ask if i can provide any assistance. if i dont hear anything from them then i'll contact my local MP.
It is almost 9 months !!!! it really frustrate me as I don't see why they are delaying my application - i have got clean record.
I called on May 23rd and I was told the application was waiting allocation to a caseworker. I haven't called since so I am unaware if the application has progressed. If I don't hear anything by the 23rd of this month, I will call again.radi8 wrote:Yes, the guy on the phone confirmed that, but I’m not sure about that. They sometimes give you general answers.

What about you, do you have any update?
Hi Ferrari, how many letter(s) do HO send if you apply through NCS???? Following a fax from my employer, my letter was sent out on the 6th. Hopefully, I will receive them today or by tomorrowferrarilondon wrote:WAoooooo Mubarak Brother, I am so happy for you. Just now I was thinking about you, Lionking and Gul ( I don't know were he is , haven't heard anything in a long time. Hope he is OK ) and you got your approval . Well done. Go and celebrate with your family. You deserved it. I am going in the evening to make promise to Queen.
Goodluck
How many letters we receive in all???. I rang my council this morning to check if they had received my certificate, but the answer was "NO" from them???ferrarilondon wrote:Lionking007, They take approximately 3-4 working days to arrive. so if they posted your letter on 6th then you should receive it by tomorrow or friday I hope. Good luck with it.
In my case, the approval letter doubled up as letter of invitation, so I was asked to contact the council to schedule the ceremony within 21days of reception of the brown envelope. I think it varies from council to council....ferrarilondon wrote:Normally you receive one approval letter saying that you will receive your ceremony invitation within 2 weeks. and week after you will get another letter inviting you to ring local council to arrange ceremony.
