This platform has been amazing. Just reading peoples stories and experiences gave me hope and also helped me with ideas that helped me with my applications from ILR to Naturalisation.
PS
I emailed the nationalityFMT team on the 19/11/2019 and received a response on the 22/11/2019 advising that I will receive an update via post within 21 working days.
This whole immigration process has been a journey but i am happy to be finally rid of the Home office in my life.
Goodluck to all still waiting and thank you to all the immigration board contributors. Please keep up the good work.

I reckon it would have been faster as i received a letter from caseworker on the 14th of November dated 9th of November, asking me to submit proof that I have paid some money owed to HMRC in 2014. I sent the proof immediately as I did not owe HMRC any money. Got the approval less than 2 weeks after sending the proof.
