2016 Citizenship Approvals

[J_Karim]

To me each application has a status what ever they say
But they barely tell via email unless they want to

[Cz2015]

I wouldn't say email are copy paste as I have been in touch with thm on and off in the past year
I kept getting continues to be processed up to the past two months I've been told it's being prepared for submission but has not been submitted.
But seems like my wait is still ongoing.

This the letter i got from citizenship today:

Your application is being prepared for submission to the Minister, it has
not yet been submitted. You will be informed of the Ministers decision as
expeditiously as possible.

Regards

Citizenship Division

i wonder how long it will take to get approval after this letter, i'll be greatful if someone can tell .

[saad786]

@ michaelshodipo66
Could you please share your timeline? Also did you make any correspondence to get your status of the application? Or it just came to you? To my knowledge I haven't heard so far (sorry if I missed this information) that people get such letter.. I assume that you made correspondence with the citizenship department and you got this response as a letter? Or in the email?
I look forward to your response.
Cheers

[Deekay]

Yes never heard that INIS giving status update by post like this
Interesting.

[Deekay]
