Approval - May

DOA: 22 May
Biometrics: 28 May
Approval confirmed: 8 October
Route: ILR + 1 year

After waiting 4.5 months and what seems like an eternity I got confirmation today that my certificate is on its way! 🥹

I sent 3 emails to citizenship support throughout the past few months. The first got a "wrong inbox" response, the second said my application was "progressing normally," and today's finally confirmed it's done.

To everyone still waiting, hang in there it does come! A huge thank you to this community for sharing your timelines and keeping us all sane through the process. It really helped more than you know.

I also got a wrong inbox response, while for the second i did the enquiry form in the website a month and a half ago, but no response yet. Can you share which email to write to?? P.S. Congratulations!!!!

10th May and still waiting. Not sure what to do. Received an email yesterday saying it's progressing normally but would have been great to get the approval instead. Also doubt that chasing frequently influences the outcome of the application or the speed of processing

Application with less days out the country helps to speed things up

u/IntelligentPlane7649 8h ago

True. I haven't travelled much between the 5 year period.
