Sorry but it seems to be 10 years long residency+1 years ilr or spouse of british citizen including long residency in combined is taking more time. I have no clue why but I have seen other people in this forum who qualified for British citizen under both categories they are not getting any result from HO. But compare to fit in both categories one who fit into one categories is more quicker to get result. So you shouldn't worry

hope you will get yours anyday now.

Hi
I applied in Dec 2012, wp plus ilr, today received email from ukba after six months that decision has been made and posted & I am unable to disclose the decision.
Did anyone has had such experience? Does it mean bad? good?
I know I can wait few days to get it by post but am feeling abit uneasy.
Any replies would be appreciated.
Sorry in advance if made any mistake in terms of posting as first time.
Thanks

Don't worry, mine said that yesterday as well. I just checked my CC statement and the money has been debited, so they've obviously received it!

Good luck!
