General discussion on naturalization applications

[saaji93]

Hi Guys

I got below reply from UKVI-Does it mean I got my application approved?

Thank you for your correspondence dated 22 May requesting progress on your application for naturalisation as a British citizen.

We can confirm that a decision has recently been made on your application.

Upon investigation we can confirm that your citizenship ceremony documents have not yet been printed or despatched to the local authority. Your citizenship paperwork will be generated in coming weeks when current restrictions due to Coronavirus are eased.

In normal circumstances customers were required to book their citizenship ceremony within three months of being sent an invitation from the Home Office. Due to the current circumstances we have extended this period to six months. We will keep this under constant review.

Please be assured that no adverse decisions will be made on your application because of delays caused by Coronavirus (unless there is a material change in your circumstances, for example, you are convicted of a criminal offence).

Please be assured that as soon as we are in a position to contact you again, you will be notified accordingly.

Congratulations!!!!!
Yes, it seems like your application was approved as they did mention ceremony documents in the second paragraph. Do you mind me asking the date you first applied or submitted your biometrics? And the route you have taken to apply (e.g. EU settled status)

[saaji93]

Thank you ..Learning18
I applied on March 7th and bio metric given on 12th March
Tier 2 General +1 year ILR

Yes, I applied through the EU settlement route which has caused me worry due to the new update to the guidance in may 2020 after I applied about needing CSI for students. So fingers crossed Haha..

Thank you again and hopefully I will bring good news too

[Simplebuthonest]

I have notice that there is a trend going on and all the EU applications are getting approved first!

Other nationalities are put on hold even though they have given the biometrics earlier

Perhaps it could be due to CSI new rule?

[Simplebuthonest]

I also recieved a reply to my email to HO that says the following:
======
Good Afternoon,

Thank you for your email.

I am pleased to confirm that a decision has now been made on your daughters application, you should receive confirmation of this shortly, please allow at least 28 days from the date of this email.

The Home Office will endeavour to process applications and dispatch correspondence as quickly as possible, however in the current circumstances this will take longer than normal to process.

Kind regards,

UKVI
======
Did not recieve a follow up with the certificate yet. Our timeline is in the MN1 thread.

Please can you also mention, did you contact HO or they informed by themselves? also which email?

This was a reply to my email to NationalitySupportTeamFMT@homeoffice.gov.uk

Automatic reply: Home Office application

Thank you for your email.

It is taking longer than usual to process applications because of coronavirus (COVID-19). This will not affect the decision. Extra time will be allowed to enrol biometrics, provide additional information and arrange a citizenship ceremony. Do not apply by post if you’ll need your documents back by a specific date.

I got this automatic reply after sending them an email, but they did not reply, so I sent another email, which was not replied with automatic email.

I have noticed it as well after keeping an eye on the timeline thread.
I'm Polish and applied in March just before the lockdown. Took exactly 72 days from enrolling my biometrics to receiving approval letters.

Okay I agree shouldn’t have asked for timeline here, but I specifically asked for where he contacted? number of peoples contacted many different emails and get responses from. Early May, i was replied by NationalitySupportTeamFMT@homeoffice.gov.uk that decision made, but since i send them twice the email about decision letter, they didn’t reply ... so in asking people where they contacted ...
