Hi all,good to hear from the people getting approval,but for me sounds home office crazy.
Why!!!!!..
Because me and my wife are on ILR since last more than 5 years,my two kids born 9 years and 4 years ago in UK by birth UK citizen.
I don't know what the home office is researching in our passports..since 8th may they received application and till from today.
No objection,no offence,wife is skill worker and we both are in UK for more than a decade...Looks like a research project why we did not apply after one year of ILR....Ha Ha Ha,,,,,

What about if u sent prepaid self addressed next day delivery envelope? Would they only use it for the docs and send the approval separate? Worried my mail got picked up from the letter box!

If u had bothered to check serina u would see i didn't post July time line. I was merely responding to someone who'd asked about it.

I cant complain, the ncs person told me when i applied that although it could take 6 months, they were advised by the Home Office that 3 months is what they should be suggesting as a rough timeline. Good luck.

.
I have been calling Home office since last three days and their ans is just flat, Your application is under consideration can take 6 months. Shell we wait for last two months as it is already 4 months,mine application was received on 8th of May.
Waiting waiting and waiting,,then oath ceremony..and then queue for passport interview and then wait for passport...........The same philosophy of every country now a days.
