Recieved email on 7th Feb 2021 from citizenship saying asking me to confirm my address as correspondence sent on the 10th of Jan was returned back to them. This is not possible if they wrote the address correctly as I have been at home. Anyway, have confirmed the address again with them and looking forward to whatever this "correspondence maybe". Hoping it is the acknowledgment and receipt. Will update.[/dir]
