Don't worry, mine said that yesterday as well. I just checked my CC statement and the money has been debited, so they've obviously received it!

Good luck!

Naturalisation app

Post by nas2k » Wed Jun 19, 2013 1:19 pm

Hi
I applied in Dec 2012, wp plus ilr, today received email from ukba after six months that decision has been made and posted & I am unable to disclose the decision.
Did anyone has had such experience? Does it mean bad? good?
I know I can wait few days to get it by post but am feeling abit uneasy.
Any replies would be appreciated.
Sorry in advance if made any mistake in terms of posting as first time.
Thanks
