March 2013 - Naturalisation application timeline

[Victoriajam]

[quote="ikk1980"]Hi All,

Im not sure how much this is true but there is a rumour going on that the HO IT / Printing equipment has got a major fault in it thats the reason no one has received any approval letters or acknowledgement letters in rhe past 10 days... I called the NCS office I applied from and the lady also told me that they have not received any citizenship certificates for the past 2 weeks as HO has some internal technical issues...
Has any one of you heard the same thing???[/quote]

That's what they told us via email last week. That they have some sort of issue that prevents them to despatch documents. Letters might be a different thing but they aren't sending any visas out. Any idea on how long this will take to resolve? We need our documents back urgently.

I hope they haven't lost documents/files while moving offices etc. What exactly did they say?

"We are having issues with one of our processes at the minute and are currently unable to despatch your visa." Vague as always...

I Am Wondering If It Has Either Been Delivered Again To A Wrong Mail Box In My Apartment Or It Has Been Lost In The Post By Royal Mail.

Any Ways Is It Possible To Get The Decision Of My Application On My Email?

Thank You For Your Assistance & Have A Nice Weekend.)

Have they actually lost you passports? What visa are you talking about?

[Victoriajam]

They tried to return our passpors to us (it was an EEA2 application btw) and then realised they are not with the rest of our file. They searched for a bit without success. So atm they are lost within the UKBA. It would be so great if they could find them as my husband is Iranian and there is no embassy in the UK these days. Basically we dont have a clue how we would obtain a new passport for him. Probably travelling to Teheran and then being stuck there for months. Unbelievable!!!

[scrapper]

sooo any update now i am mentally preparing myself dat after i after 6 month i hav to ask mp.so planning wat would write him ,..

ayesha11 have you received your approval yet?

I dont think you have to wait for 6 months to contact your MP, you should be able to contact your area MP now.

[ayesha11]

That's what they told us via email last week. That they have some sort of issue that prevents them to despatch documents. Letters might be a different thing but they aren't sending any visas out. Any idea on how long this will take to resolve? We need our documents back urgently.

I hope they haven't lost documents/files while moving offices etc. What exactly did they say?

By the way, they have actually lost our passports now or better to say cannot locate them....

I am 100% sure they lost my documents I have sent email to MP so lets see what he reply .

Hi ,
Everyone .Today i have spoken to Home office Croydon ,They said
My application is not yet Allocated to case worker after 6 Months also.
My question is :
Without allocation will they decide the application or
Only Case worker will decide the outcome.
Secondly Why it is not allocated after 6 Months also.
Have any one had the same Response from HO .
They even dont know how long it will take for the application .
I have spoken to 08706067766 General no of Home office.
