The best advice is to ask on here, although it takes a few
weeks to a month. Good luck.

Looking at some comments from people it looks like the individuals who applied for naturalization is super fast, I did apply for me and wife and a child by 1st week of march and still I am waiting for the result,

is there any number that I could call home office and ask about the status ?

thanks

I applied for myself, my hus and child on 28th March
We didn't go for NCS
We filled the form and send by post
Received it today and approval letter dated 7th May....
No point of calling home office, they won't respond before 6 months
Best Wishes

I've just checked my tracking number and status shows will be with me tomorrow. Hopefully with an approval letter... fingers crossed.

I recieved my approval this morning, now to bòok my ceremony

This morning I received my invitation letter from the Home
Office for my first citizenship ceremony. Very very happy.

Congratulations to those who got their approvals It's really nice to see people getting the approvals even tho I'm still waiting

Congrats to those who have recently received their letters! It's good to know that the HO appears to be still, in the majority of the cases, churning out the applications efficiently.

I applied on 3 March and am still awaiting my letter from the Home Office...I suspect my application has fallen into a blackhole somewhere in Liverpool lol My wait continues...
