Note: I used Check&Send, but the clerks who checked the form knew less than me about it.
They also gave me wrong information, they said my Italian passport would be return separately by slow post.
In the end it was returned together with my citizenship certificate by fast post.
They also folded my British citizenship certificate in two, which was annoying.

Hello everyone
I have just got my approval letter now.
Date of application : 21/12/2017 Barnet NCS
Date of biometric done: 09/01/2018
Date of approval 21/05/2018 (arrived 04/06/18)

Just want to mention , don't panick and nervous about your application after 3 month. The timeline is 6 month.as you see mine got approved in 5 month.and arrived 5 month and 2weeks.So don't be nervous about the reasons yours is over 3 month.most people get it near 6 months.two of my friends got their approval near 6 months too.
Just be patient and relax.
