According to the UK Border Agency website, "Someone who applied in June 2008 should not expect to here (um, that should be "hear" not "here" HO!
) from us before the end of December 2008".
Ouch. Thought I'd set this up for anyone who has applied recently or is about to apply to share our wait times.
My dates:
26/06/2008 - Applied using Nationality Checking Service
27/06/2008 - Application delivered to Home Office via Royal Mail
??/??/?? ?? - Home Office acknowledged receipt of application
??/??/?? ?? - Questions from Home Office
??/??/?? ?? - Received decision from Home Office
??/??/?? ?? - attended citizenship ceremony
??/??/?? ?? - Passport!!!
Nothing odd about my application; I have been in the UK 5 years and currently have an ILR granted due to marriage to a Brit.
Anyone else out there care to share dates?
