All the best to those who are currently waiting.

A friend of mine received a speeding notice a few days after sending off his citizenship application.

He may get approval if lucky enough around Feb 1st week given the current timelines. so mostly his approval depends on when the HO requests for the details. If he is lucky enough, HO may request all the checks...
