I have heard that there have being a lot of delays, but I have not read any case like mine. I submited the paperwork the 25th of Nov 2013 (6 weeks after this and my case has not being acknowledge yet)
Has anybody applied around the same time?

I applied on the 29/11/13, received on 02/12/13, similar report as yours. I suspect they are still reviewing October applications so don't expect any feedback until sometime in Feb, just as i was advised when growing anxious...

Here is my situation:

Eligibility: Form UKM (Citizenship through heritage; Mother is UK citizen)
Method of application: Reading NCS
Date of Application: 8/10/13
Date of receipt of acknowledgement: 18/10/13 -- This was via e-mail. Looks like most get their via post, but I live in Germany.
Date of debit: 17/10/13
Date of receipt of approval: Waiting
Date of ceremony: TBD

I have seen almost no Form UKM's on this board, so have no idea if it will take longer than necessary. It's a very simple application, so shouldn't take long, but we'll see.......

I'm UKM as well, I applied in December. Unfortunately we are in the same queue just like everyone else.
