You are waiting for more than 2 months, then how comes some ppl got it approved within 2 weeks?
Its all about yearly limit, they have finished their last year's limit, For new year they have plenty limit left and also new election coming in few months. Its all about point scoring politics that which party restrict high immigration.

Any help about naturalisation submitted documents. ? How to prove 3 years of dependent stay right after ILR without waiting for one more year with ILR?

Employment is not a requirement unless you are exercising treaty rights.

I send mine off via NCS on Wednesday. I'm so nervous but the processing times on here looks promising.
ETA: As I typed this..the postman dropped the letters through the mailbox. I instantly thought is was a confirmation from HO but I haven't even applied yet. Nerves! LOL
I can tell this is going to be an anxious wait.
