Re: General discussion on naturalization applications

I just received the invitation 30 minutes ago. I would like to thank everyone for your help during the past few months. The process was extremely stressful and I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety for the uncertainties in future and the application has contributed a big share of this. I would...

Re: Update on application processing

The caseworkers will probably start working from home from this Monday. I'm afraid we might face further delays.

The long wait is so frustrating and has real impact to our mental health. Once you reached the six months mark you can contact your MP and submit a compliant about the delay.

You are overthinking...

Just leave your application as is. Send an email if you like.
I really hope I’m overthinking to be fair…. Not sure what to do at the moment

I'm a director of a limited company and I reckoned I only need to include my PAYE job history in the application. I'm wondering if ...

Congratulations! The Home Office will produce the certificates and send them to your local council(normally on every Friday). Then the applicants will get the approval on Monday. Hopefully you will get the approval email next Monday.

You could try FurtherNationalityEnquiries@homeoffice.gov.uk, however you will be very lucky if you will even get a general reply that saying they're still processing the case and blaming the current COVID situation.

Re: Naturalisation waiting time

The current waiting time based on the timeline is something between 2-3 weeks to 1 year. The HO's queuing system is broken and seems randomly picking the lucky one and left the unlucky one in the bin until MPs intervene.

Re: **** COVID19 and UKVCAS Biometrics Appointments **** (ONLY discuss here)

Just wondering if any of the SET(LR) applicant has received decision email after submitting biometric? I'm a bit worried since most of the SET(O) and SET(M) applicants received the request to send the documents to caseworkers but I didn't find any of the SET(LR) applicant receive such request. Thanks.
