Email from Home Office

[MyUserName]

I received following email from home office. It's not a reply because I didn't contact them, they sent it.
I submitted British Citizenship application 5 month and 17 days ago.
Could please moderators shed some light on it,
How long it will take more? any idea?
Should i contact MP when 6 months is over , and will it worth it ?

Standard Service Letter

We aim to process all applications within 6 months from the date submitted. However, in certain circumstances this target is not possible.
This is because it is taking longer than usual to process applications because of coronavirus (COVID-19). This will not affect the decision.
We expect to make a decision on your application as soon as possible, but we will write to you again if this is not going to be possible.

This is a standard email received by many applicants. Basically telling you they are behind and won't complete within the six month target. There's nothing you can read into this. In some cases the decision came shortly after the email but no guarantee.

Thanks.

Thanks

Hi Mrsdoc,

Hi Echinol,

Thanks for your response.It’s pretty much looks to me as they just sending those automatic emails to us just to cop out of providing any valid information.
I’ve emailed twice to Citizenship.Support@homeoffice.gov.uk and frustratingly they have not responded again .
