LOL at HomeOffice, the approval date info below :shock:

My wife's application:

Eligibility criteria: 5 years residence (EU) + 1 year PR.
Language criteria met: UK Uni degree
Nationality: EU
Method of application: NCS (JCAP)
Date of application: 25/05/2017
Payment method: Debit Card
Date of receipt by HO/UKVI: 28/05/2017 (delivered by Royal Mail Special Delivery Guaranteed)
Date of acknowledgement none
Date money gone off account (BC): 31/05/2017
Date of letter requesting biometrics: 29/06/2017 (had issued with this as the original letter was not deliverd to me, probably lost by Royal Mail. Received the second one. )
Biometrics done: 01/07/2017
Online Status: Still showing awaiting decision
Approval date: 30/10/2017 is the date on the letter, received 02/11/17 We received a letter (dated 30th Oct) that the application is successful. But on the next day we received another letter stating that the application WILL NOT be decided withing the 6 months due to "exceptionally complex" circumstances. Hopefully this is just an automated letter sent due to my application being close to the 6th month. But only HomeOffice can tell you that your case is not decided after telling you earlier that it was decided :twisted:
Ceremony Date: still waiting
Date applied for passport: 25/05/2017 (JCAP)
Date money gone off account (HMPO): 26/10/2017 - unlike most of the people, it was taken very late( 5+ months after submission)
Date passport received: none

Thanks everyone for your support and valuable information on this forum.

This forum keeps you somewhat sane as you see other people in a similar boat as you. The key is to be patient and not get worried about it too much when you see some people getting it quicker than you. I tried not to think about it at all and carried on with my normal life... as opposed to checking this site or the Gov's application status page, every other day.

All the best to all others.

I haven't received the supporting documents I submitted yet. I.e life in UK test certificate. Do they return the supporting documents ? Once I attend the ceremony will they send the passport straight away or do I have to send them my citizenship certificate?
