Yeah, they just said something similar... Finally had a reply from Home Office this morning stating that in fact they sent my 'documents' (what I presume is the certificate) towards Toronto on 'March 12th', and said it could take 8-12 weeks for the delivery of those documents, which makes no sense ...
Hi everyone, i pray and hope we all come out successful as we v all put in our time and the long wait esp those in the US. i however want to ask a question. armed with a citizenship certificate and a british passport, if i want to relocate say later in the year. can someone point me in the right ...
Have any of you heard any update on when biometric enrolment for UK citizenship is going to be possible in the USA? I think bfrenchfry mentioned a few weeks back that it could possibly be by the end of Feb 2016 but I just wondered if anyone had any updated info? The letters a number of us received ...
They gave me back about half my documents with the biometrics letter, which was at the start of December. The rest I'm hoping they haven't lost and I'll get them back if/when I ever get an acceptance letter. But we'll see! I suppose no news for you this week, bfrenchfry? Still nothing and getting ...
Hey guys, just received a letter from home office saying my application "raises exceptionally complex issues", so it will take more than 6 months to be processed!!?? I read it is not uncommon, but I am worried and can't understand which complex issues my application raises. My father was British ...
So I have some good news! I received my approval letter this past weekend. Woohoo! It was dated 27th January, which is two days short of the 6 month mark. The Citizenship ceremony invitation should arrive within 2 weeks. I applied from within the UK, and I'm from Nigeria. No MP or lawyers involved ...
Hello everyone, It's been months now since I logged into this. I have noticed that there are a lot of new ukf applicants. For the sake of sharing this to my co-ukf hopefulls I will be giving you all an update. I have already received a letter from UKVI on december 23 2015. It was dated 4 Dec 2015 ...
A question for those of you who have enrolled your Biometrics in Toronto, when you logged in to make the appointment were you able to get an appointment within a short time frame? I understand, from those who have kindly shared info about their experience here, that Biometrics can only be done on ...
So, I'm starting the process of getting my husband to Canada to do his biometrics. For him I'm going to apply for a passport card rather than request his documents back from the UK, but I'm running into an issue. I'm not doing a renewal or applying for lost or stolen, I just want a passport card ...
Hey Guys, Can anyone give me a telephone number to chase up my daughters UKF application? Waiting so long and never get an email answered.. Thanks in advance John As Antsmall mentioned before: The Home Office Nationality Hotline (or some such similar name) is 0300 123 2253 (choose option 1). If you ...
Good stuff, Thanks for the update, bfrenchfry. We actually missed each other by a hair- I'm next tuesday in Toronto. Hopefully they'll be a little less confused next time. And I'll definitely show up early. Question for you- when you went through the whole vfsglobal thing, did you have to put ...
Hi all, just an update, hopefully it will help others. I went to Toronto yesterday to enroll my biometric information. As someone mentioned before you have to make an appointment in advance (Toronto only does theirs on Tuesday mornings from 10-1). The appointment booking doesn't say you have to get ...
Thanks bfrenchfry! I have been in process since April 8. In fact, it appears they lost track of me, since I never even had the ceremony fee taken until late August, and only after I emailed several times. So I am at just about 8 months. The letter I got in October did not mention any contact, so I ...
Antsmall, Finally got back on and replied to your reply on my post in the April application timeline forum: http://www.immigrationboards.com/british-citizenship/april-2015-naturalization-application-timeline-only-t183782-1700.html Bottom line, nothing new. Got the biometrics not available yet in ...
Hi does anyone know if u need to send passports as well as the birth cert ? I don't have a passport due to me having no nationality and my father does not have a passport or his old expired one since its been a while he left the country. I only sent them off with full birth certs. Anyone know if ...

I will let the forum know. As for "lying" about my country of residence, I am going to speculate until I actually go to the appointment. So here is what I think, the "country of residence" selection on the web site is used to narrow down locations for an appointment. They have these places all over ...
By the way, I just wrote to that email address (NationalityBiometricsOverseas@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk) which was given on my 'biometric delay letter' as the only means of arranging for my passport to be sent back in order to do my biometrics outside the USA, and I received an auto-reply saying ...
Hello: Some of my details below. So, I never sent my passport, just a certified (notarized) color copy of entire passport. The site for Canada is: http://www.vfsglobal.co.uk/canada/book_appointment.html. There is a special link for overseas citizen application. You must select "Canada" for country ...
Eligibility Criteria: UKM Nationality: USA Method of Application: UPS 2Day Global Delivery Date of Sending Application: 01/09/15 Date of Application Delivery: 03/09/15 Date of Debit of Fees: 11/09/15 Date of Acknowledgement by Home Office: Nothing.....

bfrenchfry, Thank you so much for your reply. How awful! I feel so bad for you and anyone else who has been waiting so long and now are just stuck. The poor person who doesn't even have their passport back :( I actually delayed applying earlier in the year because at that time they were saying 31 ...
Hi, Is there anyone else on here who has recently applied for UK Citizenship whilst resident in the USA? I am a dual UK/US citizen and have applied for UK Citizenship for my adopted children. The fees have been charged to my credit card and I am now waiting for the letter of acknowledgement and the ...
Today I received my daughter's certificate of British Citizenship courtesy of UKF and it is a great feeling! Took just over a couple of weeks to get to me here in Thailand, but the certificate is dated around end of October, which was give or take a couple of days, more or less exactly 6 months ...
Thanks for the info. Although - how can we go abroad when THEY have our passports? Was there any mention of how we might get our passports back without wasting yet more months of our lives? I'm getting exceedingly cheesed off with these creatures. I know, right?! Last week I finally got my passport ...
