Just to add, I also did a postal and it's been almost 2 months since they received my application (20 Feb 2007) and still nothing...I'm hoping to hear back at least before May....fingers crossed.champion wrote:Nikshala Congrates and good luck
Hope I will get sck letter soon
it is 12 working day and 18 days so far.
I sent by post
I know what you mean. I called them early on in the process to ask for some documents back and told them I never received an acknowledgement letter and they checked and said one was sent out which I never received, so they resent a copy to me with my request. Funny thing is they had my correct details and address on file...champion wrote:My main worry is (which I believe everyone here who sent application by post) if everything is fine with application and I sent the right amount , correct card details and I attached photo etc.
you know I checked my app twice and my wife once before I sent it but when you give too much atteention to something you actually might miss something. Once I get acknowledgement , I know it is in progress and can relax a bit.
Thanks champion,champion wrote:belated birthday wishes. I wanted to wish you on ur bdday but was busy.
Did anyone noticed how lonely is this forum these days.
When I joined this board I looked lots of posts and thought wow this is great. But now we dont have posts for days.
I thought by now few people who applied to ?Naturalization in end of March will hear and post anything but no.
I was wondering if anyone had heard anything from HO. I didnt even got my ack.
My post reached them on 30th March
3.5 weeks to send an acknowledgement is on higher side I think.
They even didnt deducted money from my card
I've been tempted 2 call them myself, but have resisted. I wonder if they log and note each call that they (call centre operator) take from applicants. As long as I know they still have my application and its not lost or something all I can do is wait.champion wrote:I checked up my CC online and no payment has gone yet.
I didnt got any ack letter
I did called BIa and they did confirmed that they recd my app. however he said it might be another couple of weeks to send me an ack. (end of next week)
I am surprised no one has posted in any of the post that they recv ack / payment debited. [apart from mr. Tejwani's son case that too was early march)
I would give them a call in a day or 2 and post the outcome. not hopeful of any definitive answer though
Cheers

I phoned them 2 weeks after I submitted. They said it might take a few weeks to be processed because of a large amount of submissions just before the end of March. They didn't even let me know if my application was received, and just let me be patient and wait. Guess I was just lucky that I received the acknowledgement letter an extra week later. Good luck to others who are still waiting for the first letter.mon wrote:i've come to the (not unusual) conclusion it's all a bit of a lottery, since I submitted my application by NCS on 27th March, and they still haven't even taken my fee. I phoned and they confirmed they received it (29th, though royal mail says 28th), but am loathe to call again to check if there's a problem with the payment details (I veyr much doubt it, but I suppose it's possible) - but if they still haven't taken it next week (which will be five weeks) I'm going to have to call again I think - any opinions?
just wondering whether we should perhaps have a 'delayed nationality' topic and keep this sticky strictly for timelines? not sure what the intentions of moderators are with this.

Absolutely chuffed to bits - words can't even begin to express how I feel. Its just over a month in total to the point I'm at. Now thats what you call efficient.
Now how fair is that... He's got 2 years ILR, and my husband (it's his appl) has only got barely seven months (citing special circumstances)... Plus we don't know what effect current/previous nationalities might have on the applications. And the case workers look at each case separately and each situation can be so different in so many ways....[/b]SK1 wrote: Hey, champion, let's see who gets to the finish line first.
Ah, that makes sense. Of course, their "internal postman" gets the mail from the PO Box at the Post Office, the day after it was delivered to it/them. So, Royalmail say we delivered it to them on day one, but the BIA postman say I had it delivered to me on day two.champion wrote:In postal case we have a PO box address, in that case we cant get the signed for.
