Have you heard back after your approval confirmation from UKVI ?
I have sent an email 2 weeks before that I have been waiting since mid of June no reply from them so far.
For your approval?
shall I call them to chase up, even they didn't send my child's certificate.
Child’s application is approved?
Thanks in advance
Did you get this email after biometrics? or after submitting the application formiceman010881 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 12, 2020 10:05 pmMy wife submitted her naturalization application in August 2020. Im a british citizen. She has had ILR since 2012. I know we are within 6 months but in other timelines I have seen approvals after 3 months.
We got an email as below.
""
We aim to process all applications within 6 months from the date submitted. However, in certain circumstances this target is not possible. Following our assessment of your case, unfortunately it appears your application will not be processed within the 6 month target.
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 ""
Is this actually due to covid or something else? Should I wait until 6 months and then chase
oh sorry i read your comment after i had already commented , so this is just a generic emailCULLINAN wrote: ↑Sat Dec 12, 2020 10:36 pmThis is a generic email. It has no relevance to the decision pace. Ignore it. It is system auto generated. Many people reported getting decision right away after this email also. You should wait patiently for now till 6 months are up. Hopefully you will get a response soon.iceman010881 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 12, 2020 10:05 pmMy wife submitted her naturalization application in August 2020. Im a british citizen. She has had ILR since 2012.

When did you apply?Hey Cullian, thank you for all your help and morale boosts. I've been an avid reader of this thread for a while now.
I have a quick query. I remember you emailed the HO for an update on your application. Can I please ask what address(es) you sent your email to? There are quite a few going around and I want to make sure my update query goes to an address that's manned.
Greatly appreciate your help with this.
You need to make a biomteric appointment at ukcvas.rtn wrote: ↑Mon Dec 14, 2020 8:56 pmHello,
I submitted my application for naturalisation as a British Citizen on 24/11/2020 but have not yet received any invitation to submit my biometrics using the UKVCAS IDV app. I believe I am eligible to submit biometrics using UKVCAS IDV app as I did provide my biometrics as a part of my ILR application in October 2019.
Could someone please guide/share how long is the Home Office taking nowadays to send the above invitation to eligible customers?
Many thanks.

I applied 02/07. Will be six months in a few weeks.
I plan to wait until it’s six months before emailing them, but ideally want to get this ready for then. If you could let me know the best emails to contact HO (or private message me) will be most appreciated. Thanks

No you won't be emailed to book. You simply need to book what is available

There is no family application concept for AN. All applications are processed on their own merits and individually. All applicants have to meet the requirements individually.mjz3 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 16, 2020 1:14 pmHi everyone. I have been following this topic and found it very helpful, massive thank you to all.
I got my approval for Naturalisation yesterday along with my wife. But haven't received confirmation for my daughter. Me and my wife have citizenship ceremony next week. Local authority has received mine and wife's certificates and not my daughter's.
My understanding was that family applications get decisions together. I called homeoffice but they said they couldn't give an update. Have emailed on the emails shared on this forum and awaiting reply.
Just wondering if anyone else had the same experience and if child's applications are considered separately?
Will appreciate your thoughts. Thank you once again.
Read your approval letter again? Does it state her details also??
