Today, I finally received that much-awaited brown envelope from the Home Office... stating my British citizenship application has been approved It was indeed a long, tedious journey. But it is all worth it. All thanks again to this forum, giving me some valuable information to finally complete this immigration journey.

Here is my timeline:

Oct 8, 2012- went to Dudley Nationality Checking Service to pass my application, there they photocopied my passport, my husband's passport, LITUK test result, marriage certificate.

Oct 13, 2012 - money debited; acknowledgement letter's date (though I received the letter two weeks after)

Nov 14, 2012- citizenship approved (letter received today, Nov. 21)

Date of Ceremony- TBC

Good luck to all of us, Filipinos, here in UK
