Application Type: SD Postal

Application Received by HO: 27/09/2013

I've applied for Naturalisation straight after receiving my ILR, as I'm married to BC!
I was told that I do not need wait for 1 year after receiving my ILR because I'm married to BC; hence I need to prove that I've completed three years of continuous residence in the UK including time spent on student visa before married to BC!!!
Does these kind of application, where an applicant is claiming time spent on other visa's take longer???? I didn't ask to apply desecration on my the naturalisation form, should I've asked for it????

Hi, my timeline is similar to yours and I am still waiting. Called HO on 29/11/2013. They said my application is on the system and with them. Decision has not yet been made. There is definitely no logic to their order, but no point panicking. I would be thrilled if it is done before the end of this year.rize007 wrote:Eligibility criteria: 5 Years (work permit + Tier1 ) + 12months ILR)

Realistically there are just 3 weeks left in this year for any work to be done.

I am a bit concerned that it has now been 8 weeks and the money was deducted on the 10th of October and I have not heard anything yet. Is this unusual ? I had emailed the Nationality email address and they told me that no decision has yet been made.
We are on the same boat mate! I applied on 26/09/2013, but still waiting!!!shahjee09 wrote:Guys it has been 9.3 weeks since I applied 28th September 2013 and the fees was deducted on the 10th of October 2013. I have not yet heard anything, this is really slow service ? Is there anyone else in my position - briefly going through this website it seems the other people have recieved their approval letters and they had applied 2-3 weeks after I did ?

Yes, there are people who have applied in November but they are still waiting for fees to be deducted. As we have discussed in the previous posts, it seems the HO has stopped processing applications since 23 October, so I agree it might be a long wait and November applicants will probably have to wait until next year.parisme wrote:Eligibility Criteria: 2 Years HSMP + 3 Years Tier 1 + 1 Year ILR

This little table might be of interest. (Apologies for the crappy formatting)
PERIOD = Blocks of 15 days
APPs = Applications that I have found in this forum thus far.
APPROVED = Percentage of these applications that posters have informed us have been approved (rounded to nearest full percent)
PERIOD APPS (APPROVED)
Aug 27-Sept 10 = 48 (90%)
Sept 11-25 = 45 (96%)
Sept 26-Oct 10 = 93 (57%)
Oct 11-25 = 113 (21%)
Oct 26-Nov 9 = 16 (0%)
Nov 10-24 = 12 (0%)
I admit this is biased towards capturing the cutoff point for the English language requirement, but all the same, it gives an idea of the scale. I can keep this placeholder updated as these values change.
