After almost 5 months of waiting, I was worried that I wasn't asked for any further information regarding my application. I finally got my confirmation mail from HO Atlas today and I'm chuffed to bits. Waiting for the council to give me a date for the ceremony.
Thanks to everyone in the forum for posting their experience and to all others waiting, don't give up hope and good luck
