Quickest citizenship applications in 2016/2017?

Hi all,

would be interesting to see which applications in 2016 and 2017 were the quickest ones (from application to the approval letter date, without considering the ceremony).

In my case I applied on the 12/01/2017 and my approval letter was dated 14/02/2017: 33 days

Congratulations - this was a super-fast result! Interested to see that you applied via NCS and they returned all the copies of your documents. I went via NCS but received just the approval letter. Not that I needed the copies returned. It's probably anybody's guess what happened there. Hi, I don't ...

WRS is not about benefits its about A8 nationals. If you have a British spouse then timing is immaterial; if not, yes you could have acquired PR as early as late 2015.
