Naturalisation application processing timelines (only)

[magedezzeldin]

Thay are at least six members who applied same week with me and received their approval already. (3rd January)
I called the HO this morning and I was told It is still in process.
Is that a bad news of any sort?
in my application there is a wife and son, does this make any difference?

Thanks anyone

May be because ppl go to Solicitors when cases are complicated or the like.

agreed!

Most of the people who seem to have a delayed response seem to have applied via Solicitors?

Many thanks Fred. I didn't call to Home Office. I was checking status on royal mail as i enclosed special recorded return envelop and i had the tracking no.

Till 9:30 pm yesterday, it was showing same status 'Come back later..............' on royal mail website but at 10:00 pm yesterday (when i check again just after half an hour), status was changed so i knew that documents are on it's way. I received this morning approval letter. I hope this will help.
