Hi Guys

I got below reply from UKVI-Does it mean I got my application approved?

Thank you for your correspondence dated 22 May requesting progress on your application for naturalisation as a British citizen.

We can confirm that a decision has recently been made on your application.

Upon investigation we can confirm that your citizenship ceremony documents have not yet been printed or despatched to the local authority. Your citizenship paperwork will be generated in coming weeks when current restrictions due to Coronavirus are eased.

In normal circumstances customers were required to book their citizenship ceremony within three months of being sent an invitation from the Home Office. Due to the current circumstances we have extended this period to six months. We will keep this under constant review.

Please be assured that no adverse decisions will be made on your application because of delays caused by Coronavirus (unless there is a material change in your circumstances, for example, you are convicted of a criminal offence).

Please be assured that as soon as we are in a position to contact you again, you will be notified accordingly.

Automatic reply: Home Office application

Thank you for your email.

It is taking longer than usual to process applications because of coronavirus (COVID-19). This will not affect the decision. Extra time will be allowed to enrol biometrics, provide additional information and arrange a citizenship ceremony. Do not apply by post if you’ll need your documents back by a specific date.

Did you get this Automatic reply after sending the email?

I have notice that there is a trend going on and all the EU applications are getting approved first!

Other nationalities are put on hold even though they have given the biometrics earlier

Perhaps it could be due to CSI new rule?

Can you look at the timeline thread where the user posted today instead of turning the general discussion topic into a repetitive, duplicate timeline thread.
