British Citizenship Application checks??

[Jaylith]

Hi,

I wanted to ask my fellow applicants whether they have heard through friends, family, contacts, the grapevine etc what kind of checks they do for Citizenship applications?

I know they would undertake police checks but what other checks potentially and how long would thest take? It probably varies dependant on the case/application but am curious.

My timeline so far:

16/03/2011 - Attended appointment at local Council and got docs approved & app sent off special delivery by Council through National Checking Service.

18/03/2011 - Payment taken from card to application received.

29/03/2011 - Received acknowledgement letter.

21/04/2011 - Called UK Border Agency & application still waiting to be assigned to a caseworker.

Getting rather frustrated.... Been six long years and expense

Plus can anybody gloss over the passport application process one has to undertake in order to apply for first adult British Passport?

Would appreciate any information!! Thanks in advance!!

You are not alone in this painful waiting scenario , there are so many people and I am one of them. Just wait and hope for the best. As far as i checked they are only dealing with the applications received in first or 2nd week of March, rest all waiting to be allocated to case worker.
