Hi. Here is my timeline:

Application sent: 1st February 2016;
Application received by Home Office: 2nd February (I was tracking it);
Passport return application made by me (via accelerated procedure): 3rd February (I saw the payment as 'pending' on my online bank account & knew the HO was processing it);
Payment taken: 4th February;
HO acknowledgement email: 8th February;
Passport received back by me: 13th February;
DCPR received: technically, 21st April, but I wasn't at home and only collected it from the Post Office mail depot on 22nd April. Envelope contained the DCPR and the evidential documents I'd submitted with the application on 1st February.

Many thanks for all the useful information on this excellent website.

I can't believe it, after the long wait it finally arrived :) All documents in one envelope, it required signature.

This was a joint application with my wife, both EEA(8), 6 years of UK history, I'm the qualified person as I had continuous employment, WRS ok, and her as family member. I think it was a pretty straightforward with plenty of evidence supplied.

Both timelines are the same:
Documents sent: 07/03/2016
Documents received: 09/03/2016
Payment taken: 14/03/2016
Confirmation email received: 31/03/2016
DCPR dated: 24/05/2016
DCPR received: 02/06/2016
Total: 87 days

Good luck everyone, waiting is a killer but eventually it will arrive.

Hello everyone,
Like many other EU citizens in the UK, I'm trying to make a rushed application for British citizenship after Brexit. I sent in my application for the permanent residence document almost 1 month ago, and heard nothing from the Home Office. Yesterday I phoned them up, and they said they don't issue a confirmation e-mail/letter anymore. But low and behold, I received a confirmation e-mail from them today. My timeline:

Date application sent: 27/07/16 (Royal Mail Special Delivery)
Date application received: 28/07/16
Payment taken: 03/08/16
Confirmation e-mail (after phoning them up): 24/08/16
PR document arrived: ??

Confirmation email: 24.06.2016
DCPR received ?
