[quote="pinkpanter"][quote="desertlord"][quote="jotter"]Hi desertlord, so you are looking at simply whether EEA route and non-EEA route applicants get treated any differently when it comes to BC processing times? That I could chart, as it's more general and people list that in their eligibility criteria.

Congrats lendosing!![/quote]


I am sure they are different!

Further I think some countries in Asia will be looked at " need more checking" same applies for middle east. I haven't seen anyone from these countries taken approval in normal time all of them about 2-3 month earliest.[/quote]

With due respect. I am a bit disagree with your opinion regarding this HO discrimination with regard to the applications of some Asian etc ' applicant's toward longer naturalization process. There are 100s of example you would find in this forum where these countries' applicants got their approval within normal period like others. Things that matters are your application, supporting documents confirming your residence requirement, your good character. For instance if someone (EEA or Non-EEA, Asian, African etc) have any civil/criminal offences, driving offence i.e. points or CCJ Judgement then definitely HO will undertake further investigation and hence delay the application process.`

And off-course the busy period due to new naturalization rules leads to more delays.[/quote]


Mate. All I meant I personally haven't seen anyone of these countries having approved as quick as others from eea countries. Ic you know of examples then that's fine. I am not even moaning about it. I just wish to understand the logic. Thanks

No prob buddy, just wait and that only what we can do. The application timeline posted in this forum are very tiny sample of total applications by thousands of applications to HO. I am sorry if you offended from my reply, but I just wanted to show the facts.

Time Line

Post by dr_me » Fri Dec 06, 2013 1:25 pm

Hi Friends,
It is exactly 6week since my application was received at HO and still no fee is deducted. From the timeline it appears that HO took a whole week just to deal with 23rd OCT applications and next whole week may be for remaining 23rd and some 24th OCT application and a week after if people are lucky will get a response on 25th OCT applications. So the time taken just for fee deduction and your application showing on the system will be 7 to 9weeks from the date it is received and God knows how long its going to take afterwards. May be if lucky some will get their approval by end Dec otherwise I am seeing it going towards Jan or beyond.

Post by mohammad13 » Fri Dec 06, 2013 3:10 pm

It's very worrying times I am passing now . No news !! I have sent an email to HO . they did replied below email .... Useless!!!

''Dear *****,

Thank you for your email.

You should receive an acknowledgment letter between 4-6 weeks after we received your application. During busy periods this may even take 7 weeks as payment will take longer to clear. It is quite possible your application is still waiting payment to clear and acknowledgement is only sent once this occurs.

Kind Regards,

I agree with you dr_me, we will all be looking into getting approvals for January. I got the fees deducted exactly 2 weeks ago and seemingly I'm the only one in this forum for people that apply after 23rd October, however I think my application has not been looked at.

Does that mean 24th & 25th Oct people should start screaming about acknowledgement not being received after 12th/13ht Dec? And how should they do it? It will be 7 weeks by then for those applicants.

I think if nothing is done after 7weeks we should forget (for the time being) whether any such application was made to enjoy the Dec holidays. We will then return next year with the same spirit :lol:

Probability calculations

Post by dr_me » Fri Dec 06, 2013 6:03 pm

Hi jotter. Can you apply theory of probability to evaluate whether 24-25th applicant will have their fee taken by end of next week I.e. Within 7 weeks :wink:
This is just to make everyone at ease :D and make them laugh :lol:

I know! that's why receiving my approval today took me by total surprise!

Cheer up everybody! 39k applications in Oct and still, even with my payment details had to be re-submitted - under 2 months. Well chuffed ;)

I am sure your approvals are on their way!

@Dr
The stat isn't promising.
Number of people posting timelines in this forum where UKBA received between Oct 22-25 = 58
of which 23 were between October 24-25.
Total number of people reporting fees deducted in 1st week of December = 6

I guess getting one of our posters out of 39,000 is a bit like bingo. Let's hope our numbers come up a bit more often next week.

I just submitted my application today through Islington council NCS and the interviewer told me something that I think might be why Oct cases have been so delayed - apparently there was a very sharp increase in applications in October (he said 39,000 just that month) to get in ahead of the new language requirement, so there's a massive backlog. He said not to expect them to even look at my application before the new year as they have so many to get through.

I don't believe it.... I mean i dont want to believe that there are 39000 applications in october. BUT, doing the math -> almost 200 NCS offices * 20 applications/day in each ncs office(approx) * 10 days in oct (approx days when NCS offices give appointment)
==> scary indeed.....
