Home office might be being sly here. Yes they received 39411 Applications but the applications granted could have been from july last year.

Yes, We have to till we get the break down of every months statistics , because from their previous statistics by 31 dec 2014, they had around 10,000 pending?? if we add that to the equation, then the figures would be around 50,000 (in total) still 14,000 pending???

You guys are absolutely spot on! It is the number of applications that HO received during the FQ of 2015, but approvals and refusals could be from ancient times!! Such a deceitful statistic

But 39441 applications in just 3 months? What we seen from previous FOI that normally they get 7 to 8 thousands application a month but if its true that means on average they got more than 13 thousands a month.

From Jan & Feb timelines, I dont think there were 13000 a month, I know it is a fraction on the board, there are many who doesn't know about this forum! may be on March it is possible, but it is a guess!, we are not sure un till we get the exact figures! on recent FOI request HO replied, break down will be published later in this year(Diplomatic answers again).

Wow I didn't know that HO accepts expired IELTS, I gave a new IELTS exam to apply for my ILR in April 2014 (I had an expired IETLS but thought its not valid anymore so gave another exam) , submitted the same valid IELTS for Naturalisation in April 2015

You can use expired IELTS for neutralisation even if you haven't used it before for visa application. But for ILR you can't unless you have used it for previous visa application .

I think people who applied for citizenship through legacy are most likely to wait for longer compare with HSMW who from what i see could get it it much quickly. Are they anymore March success in this thread?

Be patient, don't insult people and don't be jealous. Everything will be fine!

Congrats, Bro.

Thanx Brov, and as my journey is over now,i would like to thank everyone here.from my waiting experience, I just want to tell I this
1) BE PATIENT even if it's not easy.nothing to lose as long as you can live and work in the UK,citizenship is just a bonus
2) don't be soo optimistic on early respond from HO. Set up your mind for 6 months waiting game. It can be very straightforward application for you not for HO.ps mine was too straightforward for me but took more than 4 months.

Best of the luck to all .one love
