British citizenship approval after 10 months

Good luck. I imagine it is a positive outcome, though I imagine one can only know upon receiving the letter.

Hi All,

Just want to provide an update. I have been told by the IEC that decision has been made on my application and its sent via post. Not sure why its sent via post!

Thanks

Congratulations in advance of receiving decision in post.

Hi everyone
A little update from me
Got ceremony invitation from the council today !

It’s been 11 months since my application .

My application had an “IT issue”. I chased before 6 months and received an email from nationality biometrics to say they were resolving it , then in April (after 6 months lapsed) they sent me an email to say it was resolved

I chased 3 times to different email addresses but got standard responses , last one received 2.5 weeks ago - enquiries ongoing

I asked my newly elected MP to help and email HO over 4 weeks ago but because she just came into post and had no staff she asked if I could wait until she gets to it . She never did !

Invitation arrived today but no Home Atlas email as of yet, I’m guessing it will land next week or week after !
Good luck everyone still waiting !

Hi guys , just want to make this post to help others that are waiting for more then 6 months for citizenship approval,as I’ve finally got my approval after 10 months and many steps to presume HO to conclude my application

I’ve done the following:

I've called them twice only to receive general information ( do not call it's a waste of time, they won't even take your reference number through the phone)
I've emailed them many time to different email addresses that I’ve found on this forum I’ve received only one reply with standard response that my application is still in process due to ongoing enquiries and check)
I've contacted MP to ask for updates only to receive the same response, ( MP contacted HO twice, twice she received the same standard response)
I’ve emailed the Home Secretary
I’ve emailed the minister for migration
I've requested and received my SAR file ( nothing interesting in the comments sections)
I've made two complaints to HO on gov website I had to chase a response by emailing the complaint HO team (received the same standard response as previous)

I have requested a complaint review by emailing the review team , post a letter to them and also my MP chased the review on my behalf ( I haven’t received the review yet !) my plan was to take it further to IEC after receiving the review

On Monday 22nd April I have received an email from :
FurtherNationalityEnquiries@homeoffice.gov.uk confirming that my application has been approved and saying that the official letter from ATLAS will arrive in the next 2 weeks

I believe that the minister of migration done the trick ( as he was added to my approval email as a reply )

Also it is possible that the presure on them for the complain review to be the key ( my friend received the approval after she requested the complaint review , the review came in the same day with the approval, in her case)

So my advise will be that once the 6 month are up people should start the complaint procedure, complaint-compliant review-IEC as this might do the trick

But I can’t say 100% that this was the reason why HO finally approved my application

Good luck everyone

Hi, can I ask you what is email for the complain review team please? Thank you so much!

Hi, can I ask you what is email for the complain review team please? Thank you so much!

There isn't a specific email address, you need to ask for a review at the same email address. Note you can only ask for a formal review after you received an outcome for your complaint. Full procedure here https://www.immigrationboards.com/month ... 43483.html
