Approval - British Citizenship

Hi All,

I applied for naturalization in February this year for myself, wife and a child. I just received letters of approval today for my wife and child, but none for myself. This has now cut short the joy we were hoping to derive from this. I am worried that something might not be right, as I expected all letters to arrive at the same time since the application was a joint one.

Has there been any such experience from members where letters of approval for joint application for naturalisation or even ILR arrived at different times in the post?

Please find more information below;

Eligibility criteria: 2 years (HSMP) + 3 years (Tier-1 Visa)
Language criteria met (UK degree, exempt countries, PBS used documents, NARIC, or B1 test): NARIC
Current nationality: Prefer not to say
Method of application: NCS Manchester
Council name if NCS used: Manchester City Council
Date of application: 03/02/2014
Payment method CC/DC, Personal cheque, Bankers cheque etc: Debit Card
Date of receipt by UKBA: 03/02/2014
Date of aknowledgement: Received 15/02/2014 but surprisingly, letter dated 06/02/2014
Date of debit or clearance of fees: 08/02/2014
Date approval received: Received approval letters today, 22/03/2014 dated 19th March for wife and child, but none for me yet
Date of ceremony:

Kind regards

It could be a delay with Royal Mail. I would suggest you wait a couple of days to see if yours is delivered next week.

Yes CR001, you were definitely right. It was indeed a delay from Royal Mail. I can confirm I have now received my approval letter.

Thank you for your kind response.
