OK this is it! Today I got home to the most beautiful brown envelope with my wife's approval in it. We received the approval a full 10 days after the letter was written though which is a scandal. We pay £1005 and not only do they send by 2nd class post but to save money they send them out in batche...

Appreciate you sharing the FOI response letter but I don't think it's a clear picture of what has been going on in last few weeks as more than 10-15 cases have been approved alone on this platform where people have shared their experiences and timeline. I give up. Why do people find it so hard to u...
https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/288365/response/703527/attach/3/FOI%20Response%2036574.pdf Lette is dated 8 Sept which means its more recent statistics. I am focussing on pending cases they are saying there are close 6875 application pending. In May they had only 10 approvals which seems to ...
https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/288365/response/703527/attach/3/FOI%20Response%2036574.pdf Hi There, Thanks for sharing, but looks like the information they are giving is wrong. Letter date is 8th Sept. Approved cases 20. come on, i can see more approvals here in the forum ... something is n...
Can't keep it to myself Approval letter landed today(not home yet, got updated by my husband) My timeline is on the spreadsheet( applied 17th/04- via NCS and HO received 20th/04) Awaiting ceremony date Thanks all of support, feedback and laughs All the best to all waiting. Congrats! If I remember r...
They say they have approved 17,077 applications for BC in Q2. It’s not clear what this means. At first glance it would look like they’ve approved half of the Apr/May/June applications already, but as we know only a few Aprils and no May/June applications have been approved. So it can’t mean that. I...
The stats suggest a lower than normal number of applications for Q2 2015 at 35,713. So it’s not a rush of applicants causing delays (except perhaps in March, but this will be balanced by lower numbers in April/May). They say they have approved 17,077 applications for BC in Q2. It’s not clear what th...
Guys I just reached home & found a recorded delivery note as we weren't at home. So now i need to wait until tomorrow!! This wait will kill me :-( Its probably not what you're hoping as I'm pretty sure the big brown one is delivered through bog standard second class post. Recorded would cost a coup...
Looks like Home Office is back to its normal mode of not giving any post-biometric approvals. Ladies and gentlemen hold your breath, the biggest news is going to be disclose and you may not believe :D I was a silent observer of this thread while waiting for my approval Applied 6th May NCS: Tower Ha...
Got the brown envelope today with the approval :) You all will be happy to know that things are moving ahead, with slow pace however. I've been following this forum for sometime, so to answer some questions that people might have... I applied on 2nd April via NCS but due to the long weekend my appl...
This is encouraging However, I think I have seen at least a dozen claims that a friend of somebody, or a client of some immigration lawyer, obtained a citizenship applying after 6 April, but I am yet to see a single confirmation with an actual timeline on this forum. I will believe it when I see at...
Hello All, I have received my approval today! The waiting game is over. so relieved! Good luck to you all.

I think that some of the people in this forum like ' egoneo ' Are way too much rude, It is not anyone's responsibility or bounded to come and share their timeline with you. If you are trying to be over clever and talking about other people's timeline as bad quality and other crap, then you should g...
All the best to every one !! Hope post-bio applicants will soon get their approvals :) Thanks. Alas, it does not seem likely to happen soon for most of us. Even the March pre-bio applications have pretty much ground to a halt in terms of approvals. I think the HO are basically spending their time p...
Hi I am new to this board. I applied through the NCS on the 9th Of April. I didn't receive an acknowledgment email or letter but I did receive a biometric letter. I am still waiting do you think I should be concerned that I never got the acknowledgment letter. Is anyone else in the same position? I...
HI Shashank, quick question - Did you send you application on the 6th of April or HO received it on the 6th ? I applied on 6th April throught NCS portsmouth. But the 6th of April was a national holiday (Easter Monday). NCS was not open that day. I just don't see how that is possible. Or do they jus...

All, When I finally get my citizenship approval, I solemnly promise you all that I will meticulously and carefully type all my timeline in this forum to keep you all informed and aware so that you wont stress over timelines...that's the least I should be able to do! I can't believe what this wait a...
Just look for any one who applied after 6th. As 6th Apr is the last day of pre-bio application. I beg to differ: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/changes-to-biometric-collection-categories Also, 6 April is Monday. New fees were also introduced on that day. All this leads me to believe that change...

Home Office seems to be completely uninterested in post-biometric applications. The first April application in this thread was approved almost a month ago- on 16 July. And since then, there has been zero progress as far as biometric cases are concerned... :( Given that they have 95% target of consi...
Hi, a valuable board which has provided much reassurance and guidelines. As such wish to contribute back by adding our timeline Eligibility criteria: Spouse 3 Years Number of applicants: 1 Language criteria met: B1 English Method of application: Direct Council name if NCS used: No Date of applicati...
The woman at at the NCS told me that 75% of applications are supposed to be decided within 3 months. Given that about zero % of post-biometric April applications have been decided so far, it looks like this target has failed spectacularly. They have at least 40-50,000 backlog of post-biometric appl...
