Received approval for only one member

Hello,

a couple of months ago we applied for British Citizenship (me, my spouse and our child -- all of us on ILR previously), we did the application all together. The reference numbers are all the same with /00, /01 and /02 at the end.

I just received an email today (to my email address) informing that my spouse application has been approved with an invitation to the ceremony and so on, and the reference number they quote does not have "/01", it's just the main number.

Does this mean that all have been approved, or the other two are still pending? Is it strange that the approvals are not simultaneous given it's the same family?

There is no family apllication process. Each application is processed and decided individually.

I have the same situation, my spouse received approval but I have not. I called council and council confirmed that they received naturalisation decision for both me and my spouse.
I would recommend to call your council and check if they have received decision.
