Good evening,

we applied late August, via tracked/signed post, for naturalisation for our entire family (my wife is Swiss, I am German, the kids have both nationalities). We have lived in the UK for 12+ years, my wife and I have been in full-time work and payed taxes/NI, and we all have our DCPR documenting residency since 2011.

On October 1, we received a letter from the HO dated September 21, asking for additional documentation, namely additional proof of residency in the UK for the last 2 years for our older daughter, who was born outside the UK (e.g. school reports) and my wife's birth certificate as she was born outside Switzerland. We returned the documents a day later, again with signed/tracked mail and the HO received the documents on October 3.

I have to questions, please:

1. Does the request for additional documents mean there is already a case worker reviewing our application or will a case worker be assigned only after the additional documents have been received?
Yes . Your case is already with the caseworker . You can find caseworker name on the letter you recieved

2. For those on this forum who have been asked for additional documents, how soon after you submitted them was a decision made (assuming you don't mind sharing)? I looked on the timeline topics but this aspect is usually not discussed.

2 weeks from the date they recieve it

Thank you!
