It took 3 months and about 2 weeks from biometrics to receiving the approval letter. I moved house while application was on-going , updated my new address with H/O. Thanking Yeshua.... the journey is COMPLETED NOW and I am a British Citizen. Hang in there guys for those still waiting.
The Passport Application took just a week for the approval and receiving the passport. No interviews and I have me passport now.
Thanks guys for your comments on this forum, it gave me hope when I read the timelines.
