Your logic @ 1 & 2 is common sense. Plus, the hassle to have it notarized is a pain already.

But given that, what is your thought in INIS acknowledgment letter advise that one has to inform them of any changes in immigration status or any relevant life event that may concern them?

On 3, I believed there will be impact as per Section 16 waiver - thou in the first place I haven't apply using this avenue, (I applied via 5yr residency) so you may be right, but again it is only the minister that can decide if it has weight in the end.

On 4, is 2nd stage (which I am in) same as further processing stage?

On 5, I believed it is not irrelevant, refer to my comment on 1.

Again, big thanks for your thoughts, it is really much appreciated.
You application must be subject to review when new documents are sent on behalf of it and thus slowing down the processing time!.

Thats the only reason I gave you the advise not to do so, but at the end of the day you can do whatever you want. If you ahvent send any documents, your application will be treated as normal, but when documents are sent, it must be brought back, get reviewed, and possible put it in a queue far away from where it should be.

If you want further communication regarding this, please do so in ''Naturalisation Questions'' Thread.

Phoned INIS 23 May who indicated application was in the 'middle stage' and couldn't confirm if outside agency reports had been received or if was at advanced stage of processing.

I received a letter in the post today with Confirmation that I have successfully moved onto the second stage. I applied mid March. The first letter I got was just an acknowledgement that they received my documentation about a week later after application.

This approval for the above was also 9 months (Aug-May).
