Yes, I have received an acknowledgement letter. Since then nothing. Yesterday a man from UKBA told me that they sent me a letter on the 23/04.[/quote]chipmunk1 wrote:[quote="blacksta
going by the Naturalisation timeline - you should expect to hear from them in about 2 to 3 months - have you received an acknowledgement yet.

Sorry to hear that. Looks like they need to do some further checks on your application which could take some time. You have to wait patiently as you will get your passport in the end.blacksta wrote:Interview was on 25/04 - I did contact them- they said it required further examination which i guess it means interview wasnt okcricinfo wrote:When was your interview ?

I can only assume this the case if my case has been referred for further examination checks (whatever that means) or did i choose to attend a dogdy passport interview centre ( i dont trust all these people).

Getting fed up off the whole thing.

Only 8 fraudulent applicants have been caught by this system since 2007 which has costed millions of pounds. Read this report :blacksta wrote:Thankscricinfo wrote:Sorry to hear that.

considering the large fees one paid - it is just so hard to get information out of them. It is baffling what a further checks could they be doing that was not done before an interview letter was sent out.

Not necessary - unless they contact the counter signatory and request for letter using a letter head.juliajules1979 wrote:Hiya
I just wondered when applying for a Britis Passport, is it necessary that the counter signatory needs to provide a written refrence on headed paper?
I have heard a few people mention this and I'm confused.
Many thanks
See similar question - here.joh118 wrote:I applied on 16 Feb and still waiting. I have to go abroad for 2 months. If I am correct, I have 90 days to attend a ceremony when the invitation letter arrives. Does that mean if the invitation letter arrives whilst I am away, it should still be OK?

I don't think looking older would be a problem. Have noticed some of my friends from a particular ethnic background look much younger and were asked ID for buying alcohol when they are in their 30s. So IPS officials should be aware of these.Mow12345 wrote:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Iam waiting my naturalisation letter but wondering what is the passport interview.
The people tell me normaly I look older than my real age, some people are like that.
Some people say to me you look 10 yrs older than your real age.
I have my Travel document with my photo on any way.
What do you think can that affect the interview.
Need answer please.
Ceremony cost is included in application fee for naturalization so ceremony is free unless you opt for private ceremony for which you have to pay.ARPHskp wrote:how much does it cost
It depends on the Council. Was reading Brighton does once a month. Cambridgeshire does weekly. So you might need to ring them.ARPHskp wrote:Thank God ceremony is free (well its included not free lol). Wish passport fee was included as well (but then they will increase fees lol). Does it normally happen twice a month
