I have applied for registration of British citizenship using Form UKM: born here in the U.S. to a Scottish mother and American father before 1983.

Liverpool has had my application and supporting documents for sixteen weeks, equal to about four months. Biometrics were provided via USCIS twelve weeks ago. Haven't heard a thing since then.

I realize that four months is within the six-month window generally given, but I wonder if anyone here has actual current -- say, mid-2016 to present -- comparison times for UKM applications from the U.S.

Thanks!

I now can answer my own question, and happily!

Eligibility criteria: UKM (born before 1983 in USA to Scottish mother)
Language criteria met: native English speaker

Method of application: form UKM
Date of application: 19 Sept 2016 (USPS Priority Express)

So that makes 17 weeks from Home Office receipt of application until my receipt of approval.

My thanks to those who operate and contribute to this site. It has been an invaluable resource for information (and morale!) during my process.
