rob my misses filipino passport expired a year ago
we used the Ncs in march becuase she needed her passport back for an exam,
it took about 4wks after we been to the ncs to get her letter of approval, and i think another week or so after that to get a letter from the council stating when the citizenship ceremony would be, and that was probably 2 wks wait, so it took near 2 months from going to the ncs to getting her citizenship cert.
you dont need to ncs, only good becuase they check your app and give you all your docs back.
