I have applied on the same day and went for biometric on 18th April and since then, no news. Its really frustrating as many people have already received who applied in may and june 2019 but i dont know what's going on and why they are not dealing with all the applications in date order?

Hi, i sent an e mail to home Office to enquire about the progress of the application
I received the following response

Thank you for your e-mail



You will be contacted by post within 21 working days



Thank you


Does that means the case has been decided or it will be decided soon and I will have a response by 21 days

Please share your experience
Many thanks
In my experience, your approval letter is on its way and should arrive within 5-7 days. It doesn’t take 21 working days to send a refusal letter. Congratulations and don’t forget to share your timeline!!!
Thank you very much for congratulating me in advance , today I received my approval letter. Dated 11 July , all the best who are waiting

congrats brother. in my case i dont think i will receive a decision anytime soon as they said it will take while llonger as their service standard says 6 months. so its a case of waiting.
really feeling sad that many people who applied after me received the approval quicker.

Hi

Yes. I also want to know as to what wording did you use. I applied on 4th or 5th april and when i sent an email, they replied me back with awkward response. They said it may be while longer for your application to be decided. I was so. Fumed but as we know we can't do anything until it goes past months

Hi All

I applied for naturalisation in January and I still haven’t heard back. My application is straight forward - ILR for 6 years and I provided all the necessary documents but still, nothing.
If it hasn’t been 5/6 months yet and you’re still waiting I understand the frustration of seeing other people get theirs early but trust, it’s when it’s been 6 months like it has for me that it really starts to get worrying. I emailed them a week ago and I received the standard “we received your biometrics” email. now I’m worried they hadn’t even checked my documents yet. I applied in January hoping to be able to have my passport by summer to go on holiday but now it seems unlikely.

when you went for biometric, did u miss something? like forgot toprovide your referees declaration or something? in my case. i forgot to give them the referees declarations and they didnt even ask me. but fortunately i uploaded them within half an hour after the appointment
