I'm getting so anxious and frustrated .... Also since I'm from a low risk country I can't think what may be holding mine up... Does anyone have contact details for ukba ? Does any one know why ukba seems to have slowed down these last two weeks ?! I am entering my 7th week of waiting ... Grrrrr Send your email to NationalityProgress@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk don't forget to includelam85 wrote:I see there are people getting their letters that applied after me... Do you think I should call or email ukba as I have yet to see any updates there are about 4-5 people who applied after me who already received their letters

Emrah - at least that sounds good news buddy!! Although I can see how annoying it must be to wait for the letter. Which email address did you use? (we applied at the same time so I am wanting to contact them to see if mine has been decided by now too - I have a feeling in my bones that they have made a decision, let's hope I am right!).Emrah wrote:I have got an email from HO last tuesday they said its been decided I should receive my letter shortly its been more than a week still no letter arrived really annoying me now. can I call council and ask them? They said they cant disclose the decision.

Congrats to all who have recently received approvals!!
do I need to phone the nationality checking service or council?fingerscrossed123 wrote:Emrah - thanks buddy, I think I will try email them too to see if any decision has been made on mine. I do have a feeling they have made a decision...!
By the way, I think you could try calling the Council to see if they have your certificate. From what I have read, it seems sometimes they allow people to book their ceremony as long as they have the certificate from the HO (although some councils make people wait for an invite either from the council or the HO first). I think there is no harm in calling the council to see what they say. Good luck! Let us know what happens!
but i am restraining myself.xlisusx wrote:Here we have all the members of this forum that applied in August. It is in order received by UKBA. Just for we have a general idea about our applications.

Hello friends, just got the approval letters for my wife and daughter in two separate envelopes but not my approval letter. The envelope in which my wife's approval letter came also has a "page 2 of 2" which presumably is second page of my approval letter. My question is can I call the council and explain or should I call HO? Thanks
Speak of the devil...it arrived today! im so happy...samkma wrote:Emailing the team @ ukbanationalityenquiries@ukba.gsi.gov.uklam85 wrote:I see there are people getting their letters that applied after me...

Add your application reference and explain precisely that you made a joint application and the page 2 of approval letter was missing from the envelope received.
or just call your council and find if certs have arrrived their end.
Please keep the forum posted.
