Post by thesaint » Thu Nov 15, 2007 10:53 pm

Does any one know how long does it take to process your application throw the nationality checking services?

f you go through NCS, it just takes around 10 mins for them to check the documents and they will send these to home office by special delivery, which is the next working day. So, you should be safe. Also, they require you to be in country for the next 5 days giving room for unexpected delays.

It's the luck of the draw I'm afraid! In my case it took 3 weeks from the day I made an application to the NCS in my area until the day I physically received my naturalisation certificate at the citizenship ceremony.

Other's have reported even shorter processing times, and others have reported waiting up to 6 months.

There is a large thread in this forum regarding nationality application waiting times, I suggest you have a look there.
In a few years time we'll look back on immigration control like we look back on American prohibition in the thirties - futile and counter-productive.

The best thing with the NCS is that you do not need to send the orig docs to the Home Office as the NCS will check the originals and return them to you...only photocopies will be sent to HO.
