Many congratulations! Gives hope as waiting since 12 JulyLukola wrote: ↑Mon Dec 18, 2017 2:13 pmHi Guys,
A couple of months ago I updated my timeline in the June thread since my online status updated to decided. I have since then been waiting for a decision letter and it never arrived!
Finally today I received an email after contacting the home office by phone last tuesday, and in the email was a reply with the details of the sent letter in the email. So literaly an approval by email. I read a couple of days ago about a member receiving his approval by email, and this has indeed happened to me today.
I have now booked a private ceremony for 110GBP for next thursday. I am indeed very very happy to have been approved after more than 6 months! I passed 6 months on the 13th of December.
I have been a silent user.....but I can say that I have been reading the posts on this forum like 100 times a day.
I would like to thank everyone for contributing.
My journey is nearly over, but I will make sure to update my timeline once I have received my passport.
Cheers!
The approval letter and email are dated the 5th of December 2017.
hopefully there is some goodnews around the corner!
I am also one of those whose status changed to "Decided" on historical date 8th DecemberLukola wrote: ↑Tue Dec 19, 2017 11:30 amHi Guys,

i also just found a online link for my council to book cermony. there too it asks for home office reference number where i have given case id. there too it could not retrieve my details.
so chances are that case id is not same as home office reference number or my application may not have been approved. As few people confirmed ..its the same, i am sensing the worst .. feeling low. Good luck to others.
I received my citizenship approval letter today dated 01 dec 2017 and asked me to contact local council barkingand dabenham register office within 21 days. but i applied in redbridge council.
Now the thing is...i am left only with 3 days of 21 days period as the letter was reached only today. i have literally tried to contact barking and dabenham register office through phone atleast 50 times...but none of the time, the call is picked. I even sent a mail.
What are the options left for me now... pls advise. if i cant reach them witjin next 3 days..wat i can do. i googled about that register office and many people commented they never pick up call.. pls advise guys
regards

Shocking.mrgs1 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 20, 2017 8:19 amI was quite shocked last night at the Ceremony a gentleman's family sat down in the hall and waited for him while his documents were checked ( His invitation letter etc) He returned to his family and told them his certificate had been cancelled they left. It seems you can be rejected up to the last minute in extreme circumstances if something comes to light.Why they didn't inform him seemed unfair.
I also applied in August still waiting....
I applied on September 20th - so it's been 3 months. Quick Update.power-lost wrote: ↑Tue Dec 19, 2017 6:13 pmI applied on 3rd October. Biometrics were recorded on 14th October.

Heartiest congratulations on receiving your email. hope mine will come through soon as they confirmed it being dispatched on 14th of this month.askhans786 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 20, 2017 11:36 amAlhumdullilah got email confirmation with the letter from UK VI
I have sent an e-mail 2 days ago to citizenship.support@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk asking to send me my letter via email as I have seen some members recieve email letter. And I just got an reply!!!
"Good Morning Sir,
Thank you for your email. Below is a copy of your invitation for your records, this can be printed out and presented at your ceremony and will be accepted by your local authority."
Then it follows with the whole approval letter.
The most sincere Good Luck to everyone who's waiting. The lack of transparency in this process is a absolute killer UKVI should really send this letters at least signed for delivery so that we have a record.
