October 2013 - Naturalisation Application Timeline

[nionlight]

Looking at the above and November approvals it seems that the situation is sort of reversed for oct applicants (more people at HO seemed working on November onwards that is why it is taking longer for oct applicants. Yet again just to make ourselves at ease I think the bar needs changing from 6-7 weeks to 8weeks or perhaps 8-12weeks.
Hope to see more approvals in this week. Good luck everyone.

Thanks for giving hope.

But sorry to shatter the hope, Ho not only approving November application but also December. If you see December time line, you will see many December applicants getting approval whereas we are still waiting

[dr_me]

You are quite right nionlight, it may be the case that information/checks are required on some of those waiting, but how come such checks are not completed by now looking at miraculous 5days approval time for two of the November applicants. Don't know why is it happening to us.

Dear Friends,
Last night I was worried as my application was awaiting approval but this morning to much anticipated letter took my worries away. YES I have got it !!!!!
The letter was dated 04/02/2014 and received today. I am so glad and praying for all of my friends of this forum that they will get their letter very soon. As you all know my timeline so I don't want to rewrite it again and assure you the DR will be updating and continuing giving hope till the last person here gets his/her approval.
Thanks everyone specially Jotter, P2kin, TOTE, shak80, apple02, muhammad13 and so many others for sharing and making this time as calm as possible for all of us.

Relief!!!! that..felicitaciones Astrcastra

[Astrcastra]

Well I am indeed very happy. I never expected to get the good news from the call centre guys as I believed the information they have is not live but they proved me wrong.
I actually got a phone call on 26th jan from HO asking if I received my driving licence which I requested about a month ago at that point I thought my approval had been put together but that was not to be.
I encourage anyone still waiting to keep keeping on, the wait is painful and almost depressing but it is worth the wait.
When I receive the envelope I will update my timeline.
God bless
