is earlier biometric entrapment = earlier decision?

Hi all,
Thank you so much for all your help so far. This forum has been of great help to me.
I have recently made a naturalisation application and I’m trying to decide if I should go for a paid appointment. Does that speed up the decision process from the home office?

Hi all,

I made a SAR request and HO is asking me to post them my identity documents, I don't see an option for email. Am I right in assuming that emailing documents is no longer possible post-covid? Anyone made an SAR request recently?
