No it's not ours is still "Awaiting a decision" even though received letter 17/11/17 decided 11/11/17 and ceremony soon, your theory is wrong.

HO have gone for xmas party. LOL. What I have noticed is that we have more silent members than the active ones who actually post their timelines. Most of these silent members come out only when they have issues with their applications. And these silent members get their applications decided successfully without letting everyone know if them.

Dont worry, when the active members get their decisions, they will let us know.

mrgs1, OP was right. At least in your own case, you came out to tell us you received approval letter. What OP was saying is that everything is muted regarding DECIDED/Sudden APPROVAL LETTER

I was stating the fact that not everyones status has changed even prior to December.

I think what Ele meant was that no one has reported a change in their online status since Saturday, which appears to be correct.

I guess let's wait a few more days before we start speculating.

The status checker is an experiment, people have had the status change to decided and it's been a mistake, further checks when they've enquired if you read back through. The checker is about as reliable as the English weather. But hopefully everyone will be sorted eventually

So are you saying that the fact mine was "Awaiting a decision" on the morning of 30/11 and after 1pm on the same day it has changed to "Decided" and still right now it says it's decided it's something that cannot be relied on and I should contact them? Pretty disappointing if that's the case!

From what I remember reading on here there was a single user who's status changed to 'Decided' for a day or so and then back to 'Awaiting Decision'. He/She contacted the HO and they told him it was changed to 'Decided' in error.

I think this was an edge case, if your status changed to 'Decided' and remained as such, I wouldn't worry too much.

hi there buddy, THANKS and congrats to you too!

No I received the approval letter and in there it has the contact details for my local county register (Dorchester). I called them and once I mentioned my name they said "yep we got your certificate yesterday already and you will be posted a letter for invitation on the next available group ceremony". It will not be until 8th Feb 2018 but I am in no rush anyway so all good!
Maybe just give your register a call? They might have your stuff too and it's only a matter to get them to tell you what date they could offer you.

was that a public ceremony or a private one? My county council here in Dorset only has 1 per month unless I want to fork out for a private one at £120. So I'm due to get my public ceremony in Feb now as the Dec and Jan ones are full. You're lucky to get yours next week, you must be in a big city?

The user is in a London borough. They have more frequent ceremonies, usually weekly or twice a month.

Hope I am still allowed to post in this thread after attending the ceremony.

Does everyone receive the text from HMPO when the passports are posted?
I have read that people receive text on their status from HMPO & DX separately.

Is it signed for or dropped through the doors or into the mailbox?

I haven't received any text yet and still not panicking as it's only a week but did read some horror stories of people not receiving even after 3 weeks of attending ceremony.

Sadly another waiting game!! :(
