Three weeks - No debit of fees and no acknowledgement

VogelVomOst · Post by **VogelVomOst** » Wed Jul 18, 2012 2:10 pm

I applied for naturalisation three weeks ago, but I didn't receive an acknowledgment letter and fees weren't debited. I checked the NCS tracking number I was given and the documents were delivered. Is this normal or should I contact the Home Office?

riojamel, i applied on this basis i.e. 5 yrs work permit and 1 year ILR. The only supporting docs i sent was:
- my passport
- life in the uk test cert (though after i made the application i realised this was necessary since i already submitted it with my ILR application last year).
- job letter: i didn't think this was necessary but i sent it nonetheless as i was a little bit confused after reading the guidance notes which seem to imply you should send it while the application form didnt. i thought best to send it and it wasnt needed than vice versa

VogelVomOst, hang in there, after checking out the timeline topic, i think it is fairly normal. I sent my application off on 10th July and still no sign of the fee debited either.

Good luck for both of you.

@riojamel: I sent the same documents as Kel, plus a marriage certificate to qualify for the discounted fees' rate of a joint application.

@Kel: I submitted mine on the 29th of June. This is why I became a bit worried.

i would give them a little bit more time before you start worrying. if it is not debited by the one month mark, i would try and give them a call. i will keep you advised when mine gets debited

Thanks for replying my questions
Can I ask 1 more please

1.1 Please give previous Immigration and Nationality Directorate or Border and Immigration Agency or UK Border Agency reference numbers

I don't have any reference number or anything
I got ILR last year on the basis of 5 years work permit

Please can somebody tell me where I can find this number?

Please reply thanks

i actually left that section blank because like you i did not have any reference number

VogelVomOst · Post by **VogelVomOst** » Mon Jul 23, 2012 10:49 pm

You can find this number on the top right hand side of the letter you received from the Home Office prior to acquiring ILR. However, I left this section blank as well.

Vogel, was your fee debited yet? mine was done on 25 july

VogelVomOst · Post by **VogelVomOst** » Mon Jul 30, 2012 5:45 pm

They debited them on the 24th; a day after I received the acknowledgement.

Riojamel,

I see no reason why your referees should have any issue giving their passport numbers? If I were you I would find other referees.

For my first referee I used my boss who is the Managing Director and also a Ship Broker. For my second referee I used a past work colleague who is a Barrister.

Thanks kel for reply
But it just some time people avoid to give there passport number

If I leave that blank would that be a problem for me???

kel · Post by **kel** » Tue Jul 31, 2012 5:24 pm

To be honest I don't know if it will cause any problems but I don't think I would like to risk it if it can be avoided.
