Wow. Congratulations
This is a good news!
May I ask your date, method of application and date HMPO payment if it was JCAP please?
Application submitted: 25/09
NDRS + JCAP: 27/09
HMPO payment: 10/10
e-mail to HO: 01/11 (still not received the post they said that they have posted few days ago!)
I am very sure that you will receive this letter by the end of this week, and it is most probably your approval. :)

I applied on 17 Sep. and my HMPO payment is 12/10/18.

I received the following yesterday;

Thank you for your e-mail. A communication has been posted to you in the last few days, this can take up to three weeks for you to receive.

Thank you

Arranged to working from home today because of the excitement but the postman only delivered some rubbish mails. May be tomorrow 🤞

I guess nobody can say how long will it take to receive this letter!?
UPDATE...

Today I received a letter from the council I had my NDRS appointment with but not from the council local to me.
They sent me a questionnaire to complete in order to prepare my ceremony invitation. In the letter they said that they have received the HO confirmation for my citizenship approval. In order to complete the questionnaire I need the HO approval letter which I am still waiting for. Council has informed me that I must bring the approval letter and the ceremony invitation once I received both. It looks like I am going to miss the public ceremony they are going to have on 13th Nov unless I receive HO letter by tomorrow!!
Wow, great news. Congratulations!

I still havent heard on my approval letter after two emails from HO saying a communication letter will take up to 3 weeks to reach me....:( i applied on 24th Sep...

Btw i had issues to login with my previous account and the forum somehow doesn’t allow me to reset my passwords so i had to register a new account with similar spellings... :shock:

Your HMPO was 03/10 and if you are still waiting then, .... no hope for me

:)
your decision has been made and my case isnt even under consideration lol..

i think every case deserves different level of checks/scrutiny , also depends on workload of the caseworker and if he/she taken holidays 😂 , cz once assigned that person will be the one dealing with outcome ..

I sent them two emails until now. First reply was "All applications take 6 months" Second reply was "Your application will take a while"?

How do you know that my decision has been made dear?

I hope/wish your words come true.

UPDATE...

Today I received a letter from the council I had my NDRS appointment with but not from the council local to me.
They sent me a questionnaire to complete in order to prepare my ceremony invitation. In the letter they said that they have received the HO confirmation for my citizenship approval. In order to complete the questionnaire I need the HO approval letter which I am still waiting for. Council has informed me that I must bring the approval letter and the ceremony invitation once I received both. It looks like I am going to miss the public ceremony they are going to have on 13th Nov unless I receive HO letter by tomorrow!!
UPDATE No. 2

Lovely people at the council informed me to complete the questionnaire as much as possible since I still don’t have the HO approval letter. They have scheduled the next public ceremony on 13th Nov and needed me to return the questionnaire before 8th if I want to attend on that day ceremony. Otherwise either I have to pay for a private ceremony or have to wait until December ceremony. So I sent the partially completed questionnaire yesterday along with a covering letter and today they rang me to inform that they have posted the invitation letter to me confirming my ceremony on 13th Nov. They said they can proceed with the ceremony without the approval letter as they already have necessary docs.

Earlier today I sent an email to HO explaining that I haven’t received the previously mentioned communication to date even though they said it has been posted few days prior to 1st Nov. So, I asked them to either email me or resend the letter in first class envelop. They replied to me quickly with the same wording + ‘This cannot be e-mailed to you’ (not very helpful!).

Aw sorry i am stupid: of course you mentioned that it was the council that you did your NDRS not your local one: i applied same time with you and also applied through different council for NDRS. I wonder if mine has been sent to that council as well since i havent heard anything yet from anyone....

Give a quick call to your local council and the NDRS council's register office. They might able to let you know whether they have anything related to you. Good luck!

Waiting is painful. I do not know how some manage to wait for 6 months, there are a couple of people who are waiting for years.

I applied in mid-September. still nothing. I think my caseworker went on a long holiday next day after picking up my case.

nothing we can do .. and email replies are bullshit lol ..

i got three replies all saying different dates , as we recieved your app on 13th , one saying as we recieved your app on 17th , one even saying as we recieved your app on 28th , it will be a while longer ...

in reality i applied on 12/09 .. so there you go , the basic info given isnt correct. i guess they get many queries and they know people are impatient so they just copy some text and keep forwarding.

Hi good people,
yesterday night i sent email to homeoffice regarding updates.
today i received bellow email from HOMEOFFICE.
Your application is now with a caseworker. You should hear something in the next few weeks.
Thank you


homeoffice just typed above email without HO logo.
i did email to
NationalitySupportTeamFMT@homeoffice.gov.uk.
is there anyone who got email reply without homeoffice logo.

Hi salsabeel,

Have you got any update? We both have received our biometric letters on the same day both applied via post with a week difference in timing. I think we both will get our updates roughly around the same time.
