Most probably not. When did Home Office receive your application?

i dont know for sure when, i applied through ncs sunderland and i flew away next day for 5 weeks, hence i dont know the reference number or anything so that i can check the received date.

Most NCS's give you tracking number of their Royal Mail Recorded Signed for delivery on your receipt.

Did the NCS staff not give you a tracking number when you submitted you application & supporting documents)? If not I would call them to find out. As a guide for you, if your application was delivered to the HO by April 2nd you should not need to submit Biometrics as the new form & fee came into effect from April 6th (after the Easter break).

finally the fees has been taken which means that the application is in process. i will receive the acknowledgement in few days as well. i am out of country hence cant get the tracking number and they did not gave me any tracking number there and then.

Good news. I guess that if they took new fees then you'd be asked for Biometric, otherwise not. Keep us posted please.

Hi there, I'm applying for my naturalisation next week and I just found out about the new changes. I need to travel for work for about 2 months after I have submitted my documents. My question is, will NCS keep my permanent residence biometric card? Can I travel after I have applied?

You will get it back once they have made a copy of it. However, if you are away, how will you be able to enrol your biometrics once they send you the letter??

[Pari_in_kwest]

Thanks for the response. Very helpful. Regarding biometric enrolment, there is someone here to recieve my post. I can travel back for a week to do that. That should be alright I guess?

[CR001]

Should be fine yes.

[Pari_in_kwest]

Thanks you. Really appreciate you taking time out and responding to my queries.

Hi

Looks like 15 days given to complete the Biometric process from the date mentioned in the letter. I am applying for me and my 2 children. They are very likely to be away from the UK on vacation in India after applying through NCS. I can complete my Bio on-time. Is there an option to delay or get additional time to get my kids biometric done. Will there be an issue if I delay this process to get my kids registration completed or any other complication, Please advise an approach

Best Regards
Rosdean
