After reading some horror stories on https://www.passportwaitingtime.co.uk/f ... liverpool/, since this morning I am a bit more relaxed and believe my trip to Dublin at the beginning of April may come true!
Does anyone know if it is possible to enter UK with EU ID card only if you have been granted British Citizenship? The 'Travelling with a national identity card 'section of the page https://www.gov.uk/uk-border-control/be ... 20the%20UK. says you could if you have Settled status, but I guess technically the settled status in now void for me.

Hello, messaging you because you applied a day after me. But how are you guys getting to find out different process of your application. I havnt received anything from home officer to even inform me of the progress of my application. All I have done was submit only, go to Croydon to have documents scanned and uploaded all on 22/02/2022. If there a way to track this application? Thank you for your time.
