[Sous49]

Hi Guys,

I sent an email to Nationalitysupportteamfmt@homeoffice.gov.uk for an update, i received the following email response:-


Thank you for your e-mail

You will be contacted by post within 21 working days

Thank you

FMT


www.homeoffice.gov.uk



Has anyway received a similar response? from what i see other people have being getting some sort of response which is different from this.

hello there

while many people here received their letter after such an email , i am afraid to say that i received the same email on the first week of December 2019, but no letter arrived.
when i chased them referring to this email , they said it is with a case worker ( this was end of December 2019. Now and since January 2020 the only reply i get that my application is still under the background check.
i hope you get better news.

good luck

Received this email on 18 Feb 2020 anyone can advise me how long caseworker will take to make a decision ?

Your application is now with a caseworker. You will be contacted in due course

hi
I was wondering if someone could shed some light on this matter.
I applied for naturalization on 24th Dec 2019, sent couple of emails and did get a reply saying that the decision has been taken on my application.
I have not received anything in the post yet,
but when I went to check on my local council website using my details from case id, and I was able to see a date been allotted to me for 18 march 2020 to attend the ceremony.
Does that mean that the application has been successful? and I will be getting the invitation letter in the post soon?
regards

thank you, I thought the same as when I tried a few days back using the same case id and details nothing was coming up on the council website. I suppose that's one way of checking if your application has been successful.
I was a little concerned as I applied with a previous conviction.

May I ask which email did you use to contact them

[Oreoluwa11]

I applied for naturalisation on 14th of January 2020, did my biometrics on 24th of January 2020 , I sent an email to them two days ago 25/02/2020, and I got a reply that same day that I will be contacted by post within 21 working days and I got my approval letter today 27/02/2020.... Just two days after I was told I will be contacted within 21 working days....And my application took exactly just 6 weeks.

[Justintime]

Update.
I just got an email from solicitor this evening saying my application for citizenship is successful.
I will call them tommorrow.
I submitted my application 22/01/2020.Biometric taken 29/01/2020.
Previous refusal in 2017 due to the 10year immigration compliance..
I am still shocked that the whole process was so quick.
I wonder why the home office did not send a copy of the letter to me.
Congratulations to everyone waiting.
I will update you once I see my solicitor tommorrow

[Mikebe]

Alright guys finally I’ve received my approval after 7.5 months.
Good luck to all of you hope you all get your approvals soon.

Just a quick point I emailed HO on 21st of feb they answered me the generic email as we are processing you application bla bla bla, however my approval was dated 20th so I believe emailing HO doesn’t make any difference and no real updates.

Good luck everyone

[RK3285]

Hi everyone.

I applied 28th July 2019 and got my approval letter on 22nd feb 2020.

it took nearly 7 months, so it depends on individual cases
Thanks

Congratulations!
Did you apply online ?If yes did you receive any email when your case was decided ?
Have you contact HO during past 7 months ?
Thanks in advance

I did send them emails during my 6 months but it was general replys. u application is under process.

I didnt contact them after 6 months and they send email on 8th Feb your email will take more than 6 months. and after 2 weeks bang on I got my approval letter without receiving emails.

CONGRATULATION Bro

[Sous49]

Hi guys

I feel as if I am the only one who received once an update that I should be contacted by post within 21 days but received nothing. When I questioned the contradicting updates I got ( after the above update i was told it is with a case worker and we will forward your email) when i questioned that contradiction i stopped getting anything rather than my application is under feedback checks or processing.
I am so worried that I may have made them angry at me or even that the application is lost or something

What do you think guys ..I am really so stressed

Thank you all and good luck

The call centre is outsourced to a third party agent. They have very limited access to your application.

Stop stressing and being paranoid and wait to hear back from HO.

Thank you Char for your reply .. I haven't spoken to the call centre ..those replies were only via emails to the emails used here.

Thank you for your advice. I will try to stop stressing have a nice weekend

hi

yes,my local council is redbridge, there is an option there to book your ceremony.
Once you get to the booking part, it asks you for your home office reference number. I added an extra 0 in the start with the case id provided by the home office. By doing that I was able to see my details and a date been allocated. (if you enter your details and nothing comes up that's probably coz coucil hasnt received your certificate yet)
I guess it varies council to coucil, some of them dont have the option of booking a ceremony using their website.
In the meantime I have received the approval letter though.
Hope this answer helps.
Regards

Hi Sousa49 , I'm so saddened that homeoffice has still not approved your application up till now, so strange. My advice to you is that, keep emailing them every 3 days, I know it's annoying but be polite to them..do not relent, keep emailing them every 3 days, this will heap alot of pressure on them to act quickly....my application was there for just 3 months but I sent over 5 emails to them...like I said, keep emailing them steady, just say you want to know the progress of your application...keep doing dat until it gets to a more serious person that will chase your case in that office...I wish you Good luck. Meanwhile, congratulations to me, my passport is here...

[Luna149]

I am so worried about my application
I applied on 18th of December 19
Still haven't heard anything
I tried to to email HO several times
(Unfortunately, your application is taking longer than usual, to be processed. As you may be aware, naturalisation is not an automatic process, and we have to make a number of enquiries to ensure that applicants can satisfy the statutory requirements. Some of these enquiries are carried out by external agencies on our behalf and can sometimes take longer than six months to complete. )
This makes me feel more anxiety
Please any idea?!
