I've just seen online that the status of my application changed to "decided". How many application got refused after being decided do you think? I'm truly scared not being accepted 😭😭😭😭

Hi guys and girls, after my analysis, I can say that those who applied in JAN,FEB,MARCH,APRIL 2017 have got their decisions as no one is debating here. NOW, I think HOME OFFICE is dealing with those who applied in MAY and JUNE. BUT, why is it taking longer then when we know that in 240 CASE WORKERS have been recruited in June this year. Again REMEMBER, from JAN TO March people have been receiving their decisions after 2,5 months waiting.
I applied on 19/6/2017. Still waiting. Home Office work in a mysterious way :roll: :roll: :roll:
what do you think?

Home Office are working closely together with GCHQ and from your username, ip etc they work out who you are and then they delay processing your application by a week every time you complain about them so be careful.

But in all seriousness no matter how annoying it is all you can do is wait, complaining here won't do anything.

Chill guys. :D
Everyone here are to help each other and post useful info, though occasional humours are good :)
Moderator is trying best to keep this wonderful forum running, so yes he has the right to nudge us to be on track and get back on topic :)
I too applied in May, so yes I understand the pain of waiting, but hey, we can't do anything about it.
I still can't imagine the wait after "Decided" and until we receive the letter. Fun times ahead :)
Until then be forgiving and graceful to each other guys and kudos for keeping this wonderful forums running. Good luck all of you :)

Regarding the status change online from "Awaiting a decision" to "Decided"

Is there a batch that runs overnight or people have seen the change in the status during the day time also ? ANY IDEA ?


As i am checking the status every 2 hours, thinking it will change.....

Does anyone know if decision letters have been received without an update being posted online? Frustratingly my application status was "Awaiting Decision" and is now "Reference Number Not Recognised". I applied in early May, as did a friend a few days after me under exact same conditions (5 years on ancestry visa plus 1 year ILR). His was approved late August and got the letter early Sept, and has now done the ceremony. I'm still waiting.

I have a small issue. After months of Awaiting Decision (since May) now when I search it says application not found?

Anyone with similar issue?

FYI, I applied on 8th of May.

I know right. It's ridiculous. £1282 you'll expect it'll be posted with special recorded delivery or a simple 1st class stamp. Disgraceful

Yes I think we should voluntarily request Home office to raise the fee by extra 1£ and send it by first class.
Usually there will be a feedback form at the end of application process. May be we should request this if they can implement it that would be awesome and speed up the process. Or may be email the applicants for instant result :D I think we all are part of this process and should initiate this. Please let know the ideas as how we can request Home office about this. No offense involved please. Thanks.

Thinking about that £1..
I believe 70% of the application fee it’s profit ....

For what its worth (and if it helps with the stress of waiting...) I saw this in the FT newspaper last week, which puts the delay a lot of us are experiencing in context:

"Applications for British citizenship from the 14 “original” EU member countries including Germany, France and Italy have more than tripled since the year before the Brexit referendum, analysis has revealed."

"Kxxxxx xxxx, head of immigration at xxxxxxxx, warned that the data were likely to underestimate the real scale of the applications because of the sheer number of those that are pending and have yet to appear on the published statistics."

“Processing times for citizenship applications are now taking six or seven months having increased from a two to three-month decision timeframe,” she said. “The [Home Office’s] Nationality Directorate appears to be inundated with applications and we understand it is working overtime to reduce the backlog.”
