You were already advised last year about when you would qualify.

Hello Everyone, I am the only applicant my children are already British. I have submitted my application on start of this month and one question I incorrectly filled in:
Do you have any dependants not applying with you at this time?
I clicked NO.
How should I tell HO that I am the only applicant? or just leave it because no details were entered for any other applicant?
Biometrics are submitted and documents are uploaded already.
any advice please guys. Thanks

Good Morning everyone.
I submitted my naturalisation application online nearly a month ago and bio-metrics about 2 weeks ago but I did not receive submitted application confirmation email like we have received your application and will make decision 6 months time etc etc as we did get for ILR or other applications in past.
I just got email from UK visa & immigration for payment successful/fee paid with reference number.
2nd email I got from Sapera Steria for bio-metrics.
So my question is do we get confirmation email for online submitted nationality application or not?
thanks in advance.

Recurring situation; not every applicant gets updated each step of the process in recent times.
