Hi Guys,

I emailed the Home Office to ask about why they have given me two Case IDs. Cut long story short.. I applied online on 31/7/2018, received an acknowledgement email next day with Case ID. The next day after the passport fee was deducted on 30/8/2018, the Home Office sent me the same acknowledgement email with a new Case ID. So I emailed them to ask about the two Case IDs. They took a long time to reply me but they replied today with email saying happy to inform me it was approved on 5th Oct. I still need to wait for the actual approval letter.

I emailed FurtherNationalityEnquiries@homeoffice.gov.uk but on their automated reply it said 'Our service standard for responding to your email is 20 working days.' so beware there will be a long wait for reply...

As you can see my timeline above, I have a lot of issues with my biometrics. Somehow the reply I received today was from NationalityBiometrics@homeoffice.gov.uk but I have no idea how it ended up in their department. Hope this help.
