Hi guys,
Just a quick question; I’ve applied for British Citizenship a month ago and I’ve already done my fingerprints and the money’s gone off my account 3 weeks ago.... My problem is that when I’m trying to check the status of my application online with the HO reference number that came with the acknowledgment letter, it says: “ the reference has not been recognised” so I don’t why my application is not yet online like the other or may be I ain’t doing something right. Please , can someone tell me what to do and how to do it in order to be able to have access to my BC application online. Thanks,
I have moved your post to the 'status check topic' as it is not appropriate to post in a timiline only thread.

Someone posted earlier that not all applicants are able to view the status online. Important to note also that it is a BETA trial service and not reliable.
In my opinion , HO stopped putting new application ID numbers to this "Checking status" service from about middle of October. I applied at 19 Oct and still my Case ID number is not recognised.
I chcked 1100 numbers arround my one - 100 over and 1000 below - in result there are any with awaiting a decision status. As well I didn't heard about others recognised application which was applied in half October or later.

Please follow the request already made on the 21st. It is not necessary to start a new topic each time you have a status update.

Application reference: xxxxxxxx
Decided
What does this mean?
The decision has been posted to you. We cannot discuss this decision online or by phone.
The order of the status is Open, Awaiting a decision and Decided.
If you don't receive your decision within 10 working days, you can phone us and we will look into this for you.

Don't worry about it, this is for everyone to see once the application is decided it's not good or bad, it's just generic message! The only thing you have to do now is to sit tight and wait for your postman to deliver your A5 brown envelope! Good luck

Finally...
I've just received my invitation letter which was decided on 14th Nov, the funny think i had to call my local council (Islington in North London) few times to check if they have anything from HO, and when i got the HO invitation letter,i noticed that it's my local council it was the one i used in the first place when i applied through NCS in Camden (also in north London) even i when i have mentioned about my ceremony in my application to be arranged in my Local council...
what a journey!! Long, stressful, but it was bloody worthy..i have to say a BIG thank you to everyone, especially to the senior members/moderators one of them is noajthan which i haven't seen any of his post lately (for the last 3 months) if moderators could pass the message through to him, that will be great! Also a BIG Thank you to our South African Lady (CR001)
and as well as the rest of the moderators! you really deserve huge respect! I really don't know what to say more than that! Basically thank you to everyone from Senior to the newest members!

God bless you all,
Softy M

I had similar experience. Home Office have sent my certificates and expected me to book the ceremony in the council I used for NCS/JCAP application and not the council of my residence. I had to wait pretty much full 2 weeks to receive decision letters (it's a combined decision + "contact the council to arrange ceremony" letter).

By the way, it looks like the approval letters are printed and sent in batches rather than continually - I suspect this is done once or twice a week.

Hi guys,
Just a quick question please, I have applied in early august for my naturalization, and when I check the statue of my application online using case reference number it shows "awaiting decision" since 14/08. My question is why it does not show when my application was updated??? does this happen to everyone? I can see approval for people before and after my case?

Do you use other reference numbers as well?

any suggestions please?

You are repeating yourself again and again! You have already asked this question Again and again!! I’ve already replied and explained to you clearly that it wasn’t just you it was for everyone! Your best bit is to contact HO and ask them why! Let people answer your question rather then keep repeating yourself! Plus you aren’t just stressing yourself but you doing it to other people who are in the same boat as you! Your cure is sit tight and enjoy the ride! Hope that makes it clear!!

There's nobody on the forum with any answers officially, You need to contact the Home office straight to the horses mouth as they say

You can't draw conclusions by a few experiences, some councils must receive daily, can't just be mine. Why did you not pick the NCS of your council/area? Just makes things more complicated. There's only one NCS for my county and seemed logical to do it there.

Money and time-wise, as well as nearest to work place, also the application form itself gives the options/choice to choose the council

Sorry I was asking the Swintoch user. For us we don't have a the luxury of a choice, other councils are 30/50 miles away, were a rural county.

Same answer as softly monster really. I have about 5 or 6 council/register offices to choose from within 30mins drive - I guess it's one of the very few perks of living in London suburbia...
My local council (Surrey) had a 6 weeks lead-up time to NCS/JCAP appointment, while another (Feltham) offered me one in the next 2 days. Feltham register office is 0.5 mile closer to my house. It was actually suggested by the nice lady at Surrey register office to try different councils to reduce waiting time. If I recall correctly, Feltham also was doing it cheaper than Surrey (NCS fee).
