The time has come for my wife to apply for citizenship so has anyone been through it recently?

What is the cost now?

What length of time does it take now?

For those who have just been through it have you gone on a holiday somewhere that you have wanted to do for ages but have had to wait for the citizenship? If yes where did you go?

misses has just been thru it,

it cost me £655 but its went up last month to £720

also i used NCS that cost me an extra £45, but i probably wouldn't if my misses didn't need her passport for an exam.

it took less than 5wks for her to receive the letter of approval, and to phone the local council to ask about a ceremony date..

yes misses wants to go to Paris, and the kids Euro Disney :doh

mine takes exactly 1 month and cost my husband £700 including the NCS service. I think its £720 now. Good luck.
