How -To: All I have is quick fingers and some spare time - I've literally typed in 500 reference numbers and recorded the results. Since "Not Recognised" and "Decided" status does not change at all, the tracking is only needed for "Awaiting Decision" and "Open&quo...

Yes, since 31 May. I think that there are a few of us. I have had an email, but until I have an approval letter in my hand, not getting too excited. what H.O reply in email ? any good news ? "Granted" is what the email said; however, until I have an actual approval letter in my hands, I d...

So you have been approved? Has it not been updated on line? I would not suggest you to follow the online status as my status online is still showing Awaiting but i received the approval along with Ceremony invitation letter and also i have booked the ceremony for next week. So plz don;t rely on the...

i have sent email to 'nationalityenquiries@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk' had a quick replys within hours and sent email to Citizenship Support <Citizenship.Support@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk> they replied in 4 working days, about my status . i guess they have mentioned " Your documents have been printed a...

See I think that's really poor. They have had 5 months to assign (which I assume is the first step!). I would be at them the minute it flicked to 6 months. Don't let them drag this out for you I agree. I mean i know all that privilege vs right stuff, but the point is you have an application and you...

You never know, this might have been a prompt for them to hurry up and allocate it. ALSO who knows what they mean by that-maybe the allocation is the last stage (after checks done by others), then the caseworker gets allocated and the application checked by them as a final review. Its so non transp...

I had a play around checking for different application reference numbers around my personal number. I noticed that not all logical sequential application reference numbers exist, for example if mine is 11233505 then 11233506 may not exist but 11233507 does exist. Assuming that they are given out mo...

I applied on 13th of June, (Tier 1 Gen + 1 year ILR), and just had a response from the Homeoffice that the case has not yet been assigned to the case worker. Still clueless on how they assign cases :( See I think that's really poor. They have had 5 months to assign (which I assume is the first step...

I do believe that you are right that means im an unluck guy unfortunatelly for me. Maybe next week i will receive any news . The thing is that i sent them 2 emails and they didnt reply to me. Its unfair. But life is life I am unlucky as well, my Dad is sick and I just want to book a flight to NZ an...

But the thing is that they are some people which they applied in september and they received already the decision. Thats why im confused I think it depends who your caseworker is and just basic luck. I agree its annoying people from Aug/Sep are getting acceptances now when people from May are still...

Im in the same boat applied on 07.06.2017 , in december it will be 6 months . I cant understand why it take so long for a decision .

I imagine understaffed and lack of proper resources

I applied 10 July-where's my approval!!! Applied a week before you. I could say the same thing and so those from months ago without an update. Yeah I know, its so frustrating. Its actually starting to depress me. Not too worried now, it was a lot of money but life is more important than citizenship...

I have contacted them twice , the told me wait till 6 months as i apply late june But if you have been 'decided' online and you have not received your letter that's a problem. Make that clear to them-the website has said decided but you have no letter. Ask them to email you a pdf of the letter sent...

I've checked my status today this morning it have changed from last night Awaiting decision to Decided this morning. I applied on 12 July so almost 4 months from application. Now it's postman waiting game and checking letterbox. Good luck ! I applied 10 July-where's my approval!!! Applied a week be...

CR001, do you have the exact details what checks are being done as part of both processes? BTW, even SC (security Check) or DV (Developed Vetting) clearance from the government are taking shorter time than this naturalisation process. And I'm pretty certain they are significantly more complex than ...

Anyway, they say the queries made for a citizenship application are more extensive as compared to those for ILR or DCPR, but I don't really think they do a lot more. I applied for the document certifying permanent residence on 14 June and received it mid August. Provided they made most queries at t...

For those interested in withdrawing their application.

Thanks, hopefully I won't need to use it

Applied on 14th June 2017 via NCS Camden and has been "awaiting decision" for ever, sent an email to UKVI yesterday, and today got a reply saying my application is with a caseworker and i will be notified with a decision within 3 weeks :| At least you have a timeframe now, this is progres...

Hello All. I applies 19.05.17 through NCS leeds. on 24.10.2017 received a letter from Homeoffice requesting original passports which i sent by special delivery with self addressed special delivery envelop. Today I checked online status showing awaiting decision so I emailed home to check what going...

I passed Passport office on my way to work everyday and it just irritate me more.. :mrgreen: There is now someone who applied in September who has been approved. It's seeing those that really get my...
