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.

It’s a long and expensive process, but worth it. Most of you received approval in about 8 weeks, not sure why mine took so long – I did not have to send any additional documents; I have not been asked any further questions. I am very happy that I finally got it.

Many thanks to alterhase58, CR001, NikiGio, secret.simon and others.

For those who are waiting, it might be tough but it’s all worth it once you get your approval letter. 19 weeks is way too long but, I’m still thankful that Everything is done now.
Thank you for those who shared their timeline, it really helps to less my worries. At least I’m not the only one who’s waiting that long.
May everyone have their approval letter soon.
