Getting worried with waiting times

Okay, hear me out here..

I submitted the AN online on 22/01/2019 and did my biometrics in London on 26/01/2019, and ever since then, I haven't heard back about it. I cannot call for or enquire about the progress because it's "under six months", and in the grand scheme of things, this probably hasn't been that long; but I've been looking at the 'processing times' thread and people in there, who have made their applications around the time I did, have already received their approval letters.

So yeah, I'm really worried. Is there anything I can do? Is there any way to find out about the progress?

Thank you.

Nothing you can do, but simply patiently waiting.

Hi,
I'm getting worried too. I submitted online and had my Biometrics enrolled on 30th Jan 2019 at UKVCAS Croydon and I haven't heard anything since.

What makes me even more worried is that we have had issues with the postman mis-delivering mail for people living in my area, so chances are if that's happened I will never find out!

There is nothing you can do but wait to hear back from HO on your citizenship application. It takes a bit longer than a visa application.

Hello,

I had the same situation when I applied for BC - my posts are often go missing because the postman cannot enter to the building.

Please send an email to nationalityexceptions@homeoffice.gov.uk.

In my case, they sent 2 letters for biometric enrolment however I never received them. I have explained the situation and they sent the letter by email. Then I went to post office on the same day to enrol my biometrics.

You can check with them if they have have sent anything by mail and if they did you have not received anything.
