I’ll never try to pretend that a Scottish tennis player or a bunch of South African cricket players are English, but today I sent off my application for naturalisation as a British citizen. My grandmother would be proud.

I have in my bag the US naturalization papers. I am completing them as I get time. How [changed from 'Who' - Ed.] long is the process there? I have heard 4 months to 8 months here.
The British Home Office officially says that 95% are completed within six months, but the person who interviewed me this morning said that utterly boring, no-problem applications are typically two to three months.
However, after that I still need to get into a ceremony to swear allegience to Her Majesty, which can take from one week to three months and after that it will take a minimum of six weeks to get a UK passport (which requires another interview).
But have you passed your queuing and whinging tests yet?
