I'm in the same boat as you are...applied on 3rd March and yet to receive my approval. I'm sure everything is just fine and the approval letter will come any day! Fingers crossed!tulip11 wrote:I applied on 3rd March , received by them 5th March , money deducted 11th march , date of ack letter received 13th march and it was dated on 10th March. and still no letter of approval

Don't worry Tulip, it just a matter of time. I hoping to get some news by the end of this week, since I applied on the 5th and home office too the money on the 16th and I received my acknowledgement letter on the 21st. So I'm giving them a week to accept my application.
Yes i hope so everything would be fine. Thanks and best of luck to youchilledflyer wrote:I'm in the same boat as you are...applied on 3rd March and yet to receive my approval.

Further to my previous post above...PrairieSunflower wrote:About the invitation letter from the council.
I contacted the council about what their procedure is and have just received their call back.
She confirmed it not their normal procedure to send out any letters as my Home Office letter tells me. I read her the portion of the letter that said NOT to contact my council and she asked if I was sure it really was my approval letter. I said I was definitely sure and she went and checked their paperwork and confirmed the council does indeed have my paperwork there.
The council lady is still confused about my letter and has asked me to take a picture of it and email it to her so she can read it and will get back to me.
Thanks for the information, that does not fill one with confidence haha. At least we have our approval and good luck to those still waiting.PrairieSunflower wrote:Further to my previous post above...PrairieSunflower wrote:About the invitation letter from the council.

My council lady emailed me back now and told me what I knew (this is not the invitation letter) and wished me luck receiving it soon... and not answering for me who it is that sends this invitation letter. I have ended up calling the Home Office and asking them... and they didn't actually know for sure! LOL They told me to email the address on my approval letter and ask there.
You'd think someone would have this filed in their brain as a frequently asked sort of question!

Don't worry Tulip. I think this forum is making people nervous. This is not a racetulip11 wrote:I applied on 3rd March , received by them 5th March , money deducted 11th march , date of ack letter received 13th march and it was dated on 10th March. and still no letter of approval
HO says clearly that process can take 3 to 6 months and sometimes even longer...In the past biometrics were not used as a means to verify/confirm the identity of those applying for naturalisation. From now onwards they will be. I understand this to be a additional step to strengthen identity verification. Just to clarify, for them to actually use biometrics for this, they will take the new biometrics provided as part of the AN application & compare it against what they already hold (BRP). So it's not a case of using old biometrics, as mentioned above.davster wrote:In any case, my understanding is that if we've had a BRP in the past, they will just use those details. It all seems to be an exercise to make their database full proof. Any thoughts anyone?
Couldn't put it any better myself. People are getting upset as they see others getting their approvals quickly. But at the end of the day it will take however long UKVI decide it's going to take them. So @tulip don't think yourself any less and just try your best to relax. At least that way when it's all approved and you get your confirmation it will be a nice suprise.ash2007 wrote:Don't worry Tulip. I think this forum is making people nervous.
