I have read the Freedom of Info request reply that was given to someone who asked how the process worked. They claim form comes in, date stamped, money taken then passed to caseworker (IN DATE ORDER) and then its processed.Both incorrect they can send Urgent emails to people to chase up if you request them to and give a good reason. i think the only way to understand the ful process chain would be a freedom of information request and see if they give the info out as we are all just guessing the process line.
So if you think they are done in date order why some take 1 month and others take over?workingmama wrote:I have read the Freedom of Info request reply that was given to someone who asked how the process worked.

I doubt very much they email caseworkers especially not at the request of an applicant unless it was something very critical.
Congratulations!sheryar.uk wrote:HI,
I recently recieved my Naturalisation approval and Ceremoney to be held on 14th May 2012.
Just want to ask you what documents do i need to send to IPS in addition to the british citizenship certificate???
My manager also thinks the whole system is disorganised especially about the lack of info given out and we are both government staff and never come across this kind of service before.Have talked to my manager regarding in processing timeline inconsistency and refuse to give information in less than 6months period. He is going to talk to our local MP during the meeting scheduled next week.
Don't think a mention to one MP would make a difference but I wanted to take it to someone's attention.
I do not think they are done in date order, that is blatently obvious, but that was the reply given by UKBA to someone who asked the same questions we all have.So if you think they are done in date order why some take 1 month and others take over?
case in point look at the time line some one just had it processed in 1 month applying 1 month after my wife yet my wifes app has only just made it onto the main system after a chase email from the contact team last week as they said it should be there after 7 weeks so then maybe we need to split it down to nationality?
Why say they are not processed in order?
Thanks.sheryar.uk wrote:Azaankhan! Thank you yaar for the information and congratulations to you as well for your approval.
Could you please clarify one more thing...Do i need to send my all foriegn passport, as i came to UK 11 years ago or would that be fine just to send the one i have currently? I called IPS and they said to send foriegn passport on which i entered first time in the UK. I am getting confused.
Thanks again Azaan Khan
You have to send all of your passports. If you have become citizen through naturalization then there is no need to give your grand parents detail. This is for people who claim citizenship through parents.sheryar.uk wrote:Azaan khan!
Thank you for giving the information , I think
I will send my all the previous passports so that it doesn't delay the application.
How long it took your application to be processed for British passport?
Also , do I need to give my grand parets details ?
Thank you again Azaan khan!
Since you are obtaining passport via naturalisation you do not need to provide details of grand parents as cricinfo answered. This is also explained on Page 15 of the guidance booklet.sheryar.uk wrote:Azaan khan!

Why all? That text in bold couple of posts up only mentions valid one, or not valid that hasn't been replaced.cricinfo wrote: You have to send all of your passports.
You need to call them and have it corrected there should be zero mistakes on the certificate.madihi wrote:hi there, I finally received my citizenship invitation letter after 4 long months. however, they made a mistake on my birth date. on the letter, they are saying that you can go the ceremony shuold there be any mistake but you need to re-send the certificate to the UK Border Agency which could take weeks if not months again. Anayone had that kind of issue before????

I have raised a freedom of info request myself asking about this date order rubbish so will see if they say the same.
Even after my husband finally gets his citizenship I intend to continue trying to get someone at UKBA to realise the current system is unfair and if they are charging a fee then the applicant should expect decent service and updates. What makes me mad about all this is where I work we get our backsides kicked if we take too long to sort something out or we do not help the public with giving info in regards to their issue/case and we do not charge for the service. When MP enquiries come in, everyone jumps and gets the problem sorted but this does not seem to be the case at UKBA.
