How can I get an interim update on my citizenship application

[cambs68]

Dear all

I keep reading the posts about the timelines of citizenship applications. On the posts I saw many people getting interim updates about their applications. However I tried to call HO to get an progress update on my case but they not giving me any info whatsoever. So I am curios to know how you guys get updates. What is the direct number and what should I do ?? Please help as I am stuck

Thankss

Not sure what you mean by interim updates being reported. There was a beta version of a Home Office web lookup tool which has however been discontinued. The HO helpline only gives generic information and has no access to application status or case workers. Only advice is to wait.

According to your post in the timeline thread, you only submitted your application on the 7th September No request for information will be considered until at least 6 months have passed since the application date.

2017 Statistics from Migration Watch (Table 2 in the link below) show that by far the highest percentage of refusals were due to failing under the 'good character' rule.
