I’ve been a silent reader of this group since 2010 and thought before leaving it for good I’ll share my timeline. I submitted my application on 14/10/2010 gave biometrics 09/11/2020 and received an email that my application for naturalisation has been successful on 11/12/2020.
My immigration journey finally came to an end, though it has been a painful one.
