Dear Madam/Sir,



Kindly I have an immigration case under the urgent and compassionate case, medical urgency, please. Kindly I have a medical certificate from a clinic in Paris/France for urgent emergency medical treatment and I need my British passport to apply under the S2 healthcare agreement for treatment but the Home Office has not replied to my solicitor and the UK law firm yet, please. Based on my belief and professional opinion, research and studies the Home office will provide a reply to urgent and compassionate cases in about 5 working weeks, thus I believe my case and medical certificate were not considered properly by the Home office caseworker, senior caseworker and manager, please.

Kindly I shall state that medical treatments aren't available in the UK for me and if my severe illness remains untreated I feel that I will face serious health damage anytime this is advised to me by the clinicians and I was asked to come to Paris/France for treatment as an urgent emergency, please. Kindly and politely I shall state that I, as an individual, based on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights(OHCHR), I believe and in my professional opinion and based on my researches and studies denial of access to medical treatments in Paris/France to me is violation of my human rights under Article-3 Right to Life, Article-5 Freedom from Torture, Article-15 Right to Nationality, Article-22 Right to Social Security, Article-25 Right to Adequate Standard of Living, please.

Kindly I believe and in my opinion, based on my research and studies considering UN OHCHR Article-15 Right to Nationality the UK nationality is my legal right, please.

Kindly I want to pressurise the Home Office by requesting an update, making a formal complaint under urgent and compassionate medical urgency, and contacting my MP to write to the Home Office about their violation of law under my human rights, please.

Kindly I asked my solicitor to request a judicial review under medical urgency but they haven't done anything for me yet, please.

Kindly I seek professional advice about how to push the Home Office to process my case faster as an urgent and compassionate case under medical urgency, please?

Kindly may help me, please.


Thank you very much

Best wishes

Hiya,



Kindly are these all of the official Home Office complaint emails for the naturalization as a British citizen, the urgent and compassionate case under medical urgency, please:
public.enquiries@homeoffice.gov.uk
complaints@homeoffice.gov.uk
FurtherNationalityEnquiries@homeoffice.gov.uk

Kindly is there any other relevant emails available as well please?


Thank you in advance

Best wishes

Some thoughts:
I don't think you can apply for judicial review as the application is still being considered, judicial review is only for applications that were rejected.

I don't understand why your medical condition can only be treated in France with a British passport so maybe you could elaborate more on that. You could attempt to write to your MP and explain the urgency of your situation and see if that speeds things up, but standard processing times are of 6 months your MP may not receive an answer either. I am assuming you outlined the urgency of your situation in a cover letter to go with your application. As you entrusted a solicitor with your application I would ask them questions but ultimately follow their advice. Have they dealt with cases similar to yours before?

May I ask where did you find that for compassionate reasons the HO pledges to a 5 week timeline? I have never encountered that in the official guidance.

If you want to submit a complaint you can read this page https://www.gov.uk/government/organisat ... -procedure

I need my British passport to apply under the S2 healthcare agreement for treatment

Looking at https://www.nhs.uk/using-the-nhs/health ... /#criteria , the nationality cirteria are applicable specifically if your treatment is in Switzerland; yours seem to be in France. Are you sure you cannot avail of treatment without being naturalized? Hvae you been denied S2 due to your nationality?

Kindly I believe and in my opinion, based on my research and studies considering UN OHCHR Article-15 Right to Nationality the UK nationality is my legal right, please.

HO has a different opinion, unforunately.

[alterhase58]

Sorry to hear you are having health problems. I have yet to see a case where somebody enforced a legal right to naturalisation.
Naturalisation is a discretionary application, on both sides, applicant and UKVI. You should get your lawyers onto this case, they are expensive as it is.

Note that naturalisation is not an immigration application - immigration applications may have a 5 week timeframe somewhere. Please provide a link to the 5 weeks target. The Home Office is not well known for it's compassion, especially in terms of immigration.

Hiya @contorted_svy



Thanks. Kindly I believe and in my opinion, the decision based on the Human Rights Act 1998, involving an assessment of proportionality, can be subject to Judicial-Review, please.

Kindly I stated in my official statements to my solicitor about medical urgency and they, the solicitor on behalf of me representing as representative of the UK law firm, wrote this in their cover letter to the Home Office, please. Kindly my medical certificates were submitted to support the claim for medical urgency as supporting documents, please.

Kindly my solicitor reply to me as follows please:
I do not have an update on your application, it normally takes about 6 months for a decision. However, sometimes it can take significantly longer, especially if the Home Office need to make further enquires or need to do further investigations.
At your request, I have already asked them to prioritise your case and to deal with your case urgently, I also uploaded the medical certificate that you provided . As I have already explained, the fact that we made the request does not necessarily mean that they will prioritise your case.

Kindly I don't know if they have dealt with similar medical urgency cases before but they are an accredited UK law firm in London, please.

Kindly I run a press survey to collect research data about these cases from the general public, please. Kindly I haven't gotten access to the Home Office's official data to analyse it yet but if I have spare time I request an FOI request and official press inquiry about it to the Home Office Press office, please.

Thanks. Kindly the email in your link as public.enquiries@homeoffice.gov.uk it maybe about general Home Office complaints and I'm not sure if it's immigration and naturalization section specific, please?

Hiya @meself2



Thanks. Kindly my medical treatments are in Paris/France, Switzerland and I considered one other country as well, please. Kindly the French authorities denied offering me treatment under the S2 agreement, unless I get my British naturalization, please.

Thanks. Kindly I believe and in my opinion and based on my research and studies Home Office's opinion on considering British Nationality a privilege is inconsistent with the guidelines of the UN OHCHR and the UN will declare the Human Rights and Right to Nationality and not the Home Office, please. Kindly I understand your explanation of the Home Office's opinion, but it's the solicitor's responsibility to challenge the Home Office in the UK courts, including the UK High Court, ECHR court and the ICC court according to the UN OHCHR guidelines and according to law, please.

Kindly my solicitor told me I get 100% my naturalization based on my circumstances but they can't do anything about the Home Office application processing time, please.

Hiya @alterhase58



Thanks. Kindly I believe and in my opinion and based on my research and studies based on the UN OHCHR guidelines, the UK high court, ECHR court and the ICC court could exercise the taxpayer's legal rights, please.

The Home Office and the UK government receive funding from taxpayers money and they shall offer naturalization as a right to taxpayers who meet the criteria without discrimination and prejudice otherwise they are unlawful, please. The Home Office while they don't consider the urgent and compassionate cases under medical urgency in priority, violate the Human Rights of the taxpayers thus they are unlawful, unfair, unreasonable and against human rights also they act with discrimination and prejudice, please.

Kindly I have a complaint against the UK government for failure to provide standard healthcare, under the NHS, while they get funding from my tax money this is unlawful and thus the Home Office doesn't consider the medical urgency cases I submitted through the UK law firm as a priority to let me receive urgent emergency medical treatments is subsequently unlawful and breaking the law, please.

Kindly I want to submit a consistent complaint that is followed by legal action confirming the same, that the Home Office while not considering my medical urgency case as a priority under the urgent and compassionate case, they are breaking the law and they are doing crime against me by violating my human rights, please.

Kindly I expect a human rights court to issue an arrest warrant and prosecution order for the Home Office caseworker, senior caseworker, supervisor and manager who deals with my naturalization case, and I'll cover the crime in mainstream media outlets, according to law, please.

Kindly I expect the relevant court to issue an order that the UK Home Office shall consider my medical urgency case as an urgent emergency and consider it as an urgent and compassionate case, please.

Kindly I run a press survey to collect research data about these cases from the general public, please. Kindly I haven't gotten access to the Home Office's official data to analyse it yet but if I have spare time I request an FOI request and an official press inquiry about it to the Home Office Press office, please.

Unfortunately what is our belief or understanding matters less than how the HO chooses to operate. They set the rules. If your solicitor has set this course of action this is what you have to do - they are the experts at the end of the day. If you disagree heavily with their decision you need to find another, we won't be able to make them change their mind.

The application processing times are 6 months for naturalisation. To my knowledge there is no expedited process or shorter timelines for compassionate cases, the reply they received agrees with what I have stated - the HO won't provide updates before the 6 months have elapsed unfortunately.

Regarding judicial review, according to the government website it only applies to failed applications and challenges the decision, so pursuing one is not appropriate to applications still being assessed. If your solicitor believes it applies in your case you can pursue it, I personally am not convinced it does, therefore I would only apply for one if they suggested it. After all you are paying them, so you need to discuss with them the direction you want to take.

There is nothing we can do to accelerate the process. Your case is being considered and the standard processing times are six months - until that expires you will keep receiving auto replies from FNE.

[blonde6x6]

Hiya,



I received this from FNE, please:

"...
This request has not been approved as your circumstances do not fall within the compelling and compassionate criteria required to justify the expedition of an application.
...
As soon as we decide your application, you will be notified accordingly."

I want to appeal to expedite my application under urgent and compassionate case because my medical certificates is underscored, please.

I seek to lodge a complaint through an independent body, bypassing the internal home-office complaint team, please. I propose to submit directly to the Independent Examiner of Complaints prior to any engagement with complaints@homeoffice.gov.uk please.

I expect your professional advise, please.


Thank you in advance

Best wishes

[contorted_svy]

We have already suggested all possible avenues, you can attempt to proceed as you suggest. A solicitor is looking after your case as well, so I would take advice from them as they are the professionals in this situation.

[blonde6x6]

Dear Madam/Sir,



I received the below from the Home Office through my solicitor, please.
"
We aim to process all applications within 6 months from the date submitted. However, in certain circumstances this target is not possible. Following our assessment of your case, unfortunately it appears your application will not be processed within the 6-month target.

By way of background, naturalisation is not an automatic process, and we have to make a number of enquiries before we can reach a decision on whether to grant citizenship.

The nature and extent of those enquiries, and the length of time taken to complete them, varies according to the particular circumstances of each application.

The progress of outstanding enquiries is regularly monitored with the agencies carrying out these enquiries on our behalf. It is only when we have the results of the enquiries that we can reach a decision on whether citizenship should be granted. We do not, ourselves, carry out these checks and we cannot, therefore, be sure how long they will take in each case.

I appreciate that Gov.uk website gives the following information in relation to waiting times for naturalisation applications:

"All applications for citizenship are subject to enquiries to ensure that the statutory requirements have been satisfied. Because of these enquires, we anticipate that applications may take up to six months to complete. Some applications may be dealt with more quickly and some may take longer, depending on the nature of the enquiries to be carried out".

As you will note, it is also made clear on the website that, in some cases, these enquiries may take longer than average to complete. You will appreciate the need to be careful and thorough in such matters.

These enquiries have taken longer than anticipated in regard to your application, and we are sorry for the delay. We aim to make a decision on your application as soon as possible.



Yours sincerely

Kindly following a professional independent legal advice received concerning the Home Office's responses dated in January and March, it is clear that the available courses of action are to file a formal complaint, request the imposition of a deadline (preferably within 10 working days), and pursue a Judicial Review through the Upper Tribunal Immigration and Asylum Chamber (UTIAC), please.

I kindly seek your professional opinion on this case, please?

Kindly following a professional independent legal advice received concerning the Home Office's responses dated in January and March, it is clear that the available courses of action are to file a formal complaint, request the imposition of a deadline (preferably within 10 working days), and pursue a Judicial Review through the Upper Tribunal Immigration and Asylum Chamber (UTIAC), please.

Best regards

It is not yet appropriate to ask for a judicial review as you didn't receive an outcome to challenge. here are some actions you can pursue british-citizenship/6-months-plus-waiti ... 43483.html but I would follow advice from your solicitor. Imposing a deadline on the HO won't get you a quicker response.

I am not a lawyer and would normally suggest following your solicitor's advice. But we have known solicitors being wrong on these forums.

I am not sure that Upper Tribunal Immigration and Asylum Chamber has any jurisdiction on naturalisation applications, as it is neither an immigration application (the immigration pathway ends at ILR/Settled Status) or asylum case. Ask your solicitor if they are sure if the UTIAC has jurisdiction on naturalisation applications.

To the best of my knowledge, courts tend to defer to the Home Office on issues relating to naturalisation and citizenship.

Keep in mind that under the English legal system (not sure about the Scottish legal system), the loser of the case pays for both sets of lawyers and legal fees. So, if you were to lose, you would be paying for both your own lawyers and the Home Office lawyers.

Just wondered if you received your citizenship now ?

[blonde6x6]

Dear All,

Thank you for your responses and valuable insights, please. Regrettably, due to illness, my reply has been delayed, please. I assure you that I am reviewing all of your contributions, please.

To date, I have not received any feedback from the Head Office, please. However, I have obtained new medical evidence from private specialists and will be resubmitting these documents alongside a cover letter to address further nationality inquiries, please.

Should the response remain unfavorable, I intend to proceed with a formal complaint, please. I look forward to your professional advice on this matter, please.

Thank you in advance

Best wishes

[blonde6x6]

Dear All,

The response from the solicitor, who is solely responsible for managing the 'Application', is as follows, please.

"it normally takes about 6 months for a decision. However, sometimes it can take significantly longer, especially if the Home Office need to make further enquires or need to do further investigations.

When applicants apply for naturalisation, the Home Office do not request that they submit their original passport, so there is nothing to stop an
applicant travelling whilst the application is still under consideration. In your case, as I have already explained I do not think that a complaint is appropriate, from their perspective they have not retained your passport so there is nothing preventing you from travelling if you choose to. I also do not take the view that an application for judicial review is appropriate, as you have not suffered a detriment. I will therefore not be advising you to pursue either."

Please note, there is a disagreement with the solicitor's handling of the 'Application', please. A statement is currently being prepared to address this issue, please.

I wish I had selected a solicitor who can challenge the HO who write the statement in my point of view, please.

Thank you in advance

We have explained a number of times that there is nothing you can do to expedite the application. You applied less than 6 months ago and the Home Office has a standard processing time of 6 months. Even if you change solicitor they won't be able to speed it up for you.

Subject: Request for Comprehensive Data Access under the Data Protection Act 2018

Dear All,

I hereby want to send the requests for full access to all data held by the Home Office pertaining to all of my operations, including everything, please. This includes, but is not limited to, both internal and external inquiries, communications, Subject Access Requests (SAR), and Right of Access Requests made under the Data Protection Act 2018, please. I seek disclosure of all information encompassing any aliases if it may used by the Home Office if they send any inquiries in invalid names that delayed this application processing, as well as details of national and international inquiries that have been sent, received, replied to, or archived, please. The preferred format for this data is digital, please.

Furthermore, I intend to instruct my legal representative to prepare and submit a Subject Access Request (SAR) and Right of Access Request on my behalf, please. It should be noted that my solicitor requires specific instructions from me before proceeding with any actions related to these requests, thus I need your aid to help me on what shall I write to my solicitor to instruct them, please. In case my solicitor refuses to address this request, I need your instruction on what shall I write to the Home Offce myself, thus I seek any SAR templates if you have prepared and get desirable responses from the Home Office, please.

I kindly appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to your cooperation, please.

Best wishes
