Passport under consideration

Good day to you all

I made a naturalisation application about 6 weeks ago, did my biometrics about 5 weeks ago.

I know is too early but i decided to call the HO for an update of my application last week, the call center advisers weren't in a position to offer me any update, inside they requested i email HO which i did.

Out of curiosity, i telephoned HMPO to to find out if they've debited my account for the passport, the reply was yes. Using the NCS reference number i asked the gentleman if anything has happened to my application and he said "your application is under consideration and should be completed within 6 weeks"

My question is what does application under consideration mean and also does it mean a decision has been made regarding my application?

Thanks

No, it means it is being considered :idea:

Why did you enquire about the issue of a passport when your BC application hasn't been approved? Generally BC application enquiries won't be accepted until 6 months from date of submission.

UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) aims to process all applications for citizenship, naturalisation and nationality within 6 months.

You’ll be sent a letter from UKVI after 6 months to update you on the progress of your application. You don’t need to contact UKVI about this.
