There seem to be lot of irregularities in how people receive their acknowledgement letter(s) = Some via email, some via post etc ... Not that I am overly worried about not receiving mine but logically it makes no sense - all that said, if its logical, it wont be UKBA

You are right. When I applied for mine I have not received any email. Now my husband has and plus a letter too
So no need to worry

Mostly they dispatch the letters quite earlier then we receive it. After dispatching its not their task then everything depends on the courier service how fast they act ...

I hear you but its not about how late one gets it - its more to do with consistency - either email them (if one has supplied it), or sent them the letter - or both - Simply put, there should not be anyone who doesnt get the letter/acknowledgement at all (like jaweb mentioned above)

I am not overly worried about it - just that it seems odd - I couldnt care less if I dont get one at all, so long as I get my approval in timely manner

I am also thinking why do some gets email as well as by post ? Well we all are waiting for the second brown envelope hope it arrives by concord plane and knocks everyone door very soon

I have not received any email or post from home office in regards to my naturalization application which I sent of on the 05-03-15. Can someone post a copy of the email as to what it looks like and who sent it please.

As I wrote it earlier when I applied in October I have not received any email. So do not worry!

That's rubbish, in my opinion. I have never heard of it. My husband is Algerian and to get 10 year visa it took only 3 weeks. Never have had any problem with his name or nationality...
