Congrats! Let us know when your ceremony is I want to know how long it takes from your approval. I rang helpline, bloke never asked me name or details so shouldn't be a problem, I thought they would get hump if I try to rush them coz they hide their number very well. Like- don't contact us, we don't want to speak to u!
I'm working all 9 years, no brake in between jobs, have good job now and pay all taxes, extra pension required so I think I'll be ok. Only delay may be coz I changed my name by deed pool, they may want to check why- by there's no why, I just got fed up with my previous long complicated surname.

Very strange that it is sooo quiet. From previous months threads people from first two weeks should be getting results back by now.

[1just]

Looks like we've been too enthusiastic , end of this week coming and still nothing, I gave up and patiently waiting. Not happy though coz need my documents back to do other things. Can't get them coz if you request your documents it means you need to withdraw your application. Not good

Not necessarily, you can call them and request your passport or other identity documents back its not a problem with naturalisation applications as far as I know.

[1just]

Also if you see previous months you'll notice none is actually updating their posts , I've checked a few months and not many people will inform if and when they got approval, not to mention ceremony, no real time indication how long it takes. Can't imagine people from January still waiting....
