British Citizenship Processing time and new biometric card

[Gary & Nok]

You should get a letter from the council you nominated on your application form. It will ask you to contact a number to arrange a ceremony.
Just have to be patient a bit longer PP.

Even if you want a private ceremony?

Yes I believe so Nick. The private ceremony is still organised by the local authority.

from UKBA

In special circumstances you can arrange a private ceremony. You should discuss your requirements with your local authority. You may have to pay an additional fee to arrange a private ceremony and it will not usually be attended by a dignitary.

Apparently the certificate isn't there yet

So, still waiting.

If you don't hear nothing today get your MP on board.
Once my MP was on board it took a week to get the answer.

Really?

I thought it was up to 6 months?

Or is it 3?

Nick if you search other forums it normally takes 4 - 5 weeks after the money has been taken.

UKBA give a guide of up to 6 months.

You could go back to the NCS as there is some after care with them and this should give you a indication if it has been done. The NCS have a direct number.

I would still get my MP on board as to say the phone number they say call just sends you around in circles and you cannot speak to anyone. It is upto you which course of action to take but it's better than doing nothing and waiting, you never know the UKBA. Could have made a mistake somewhere.

Tried the phone number - waste of time.

Will just wait.
