Good luck everyone and big thanks to everyone contributing to this very useful forum...
one point I would like to raise is that admins should give forum members freedom to manage their personal details as they wish without the intervention of the forum admin.

My comment on this :
- With this new system they say the application takes between 6 to 8 weeks but be aware that sometimes it can be more than 8weeks like in my case. I had to wait even more than 10 weeks. I am not sure about the reason behind this but when it comes to citizenship the case workers must need in come case to do some extra check and this could take some more extra time.

I hope this comment will be helpful to those who are still waiting for the decision on their application.
Just be patient..

Finally, I need to thank every one here for the help. I am now on the last stage and I hope you all will also be very soon.

Date of receipt of ceremony letter: (On the 12/04 I called the number given on the Approval letter and I asked them for a public ceremony and they put me on the list and scheduled my ceremony for the 03th of May then later in the same day I changed my mind and I contact the same people again and I asked them to remove me on the list for public ceremony because I would like now to have a private ceremony since it's quicker. They told me that they can't make the change but I can still go for for a private ceremony but I will have to contact my council by email and explain that i would like to change from public to private ceremony and I sent the email and provided my contact detail on the email. They council contacted me on the next open day(today in my case) and booked me for today 1pm to do the ceremony and yeah.. It's all done now. I now need to apply for my passport..
Date of Ceremony: 15-Apr-2019
Date of Passport Application: waiting
Date of debit of fees: waiting
Date Passport to be received:waiting

My comment on this :
- With this new system they say the application takes between 6 to 8 weeks but be aware that sometimes it can be more than 8weeks like in my case. I had to wait even more than 10 weeks. I am not sure about the reason behind this but when it comes to citizenship the case workers must need in come case to do some extra check and this could take some more extra time.

I hope this comment will be helpful to those who are still waiting for the decision on their application.
Just be patient..

Finally, I need to thank every one here for the help. I am now on the last stage and I hope you all will also be very soon.
