I'm so relieved that this process is almost over. It felt like a very long wait, but it's also great to finally get the result. So stay strong everyone who is still waiting!

Had a private ceremony today, so I'm now officially a British citizen! Exactly 3 months after my UKVCAS appointment, just the passport left now!
