I have gone through a couple of similar posts about this and I believe my situation is slightly different, Apologies if there are other similar posts which I may have over looked.

I have made a naturalization application in April 2019. On inquiring the status of my application, I received an email from NationalitySupportTeamFMT@homeoffice.gov.uk on 21/08/2019 with the below response

Thank you for your e-mail
You will be contacted by post within 21 working days

Thank you
FMT


However, till date I haven't received any communication whatsoever from home office. I haven't changed my address and can confirm that the address given on the application is correct.

I have been trying to get an update by calling them and emailing below addresses, but failed to get a response

NationalitySupportTeamFMT@homeoffice.gov.uk
citizenship.support@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk

Could anyone kindly advise if there is any other way to know what has happened ?

Any information provided is much appreciated !

Thank you, I have seen posts elsewhere where the letter was received well within 21 days and hence posted the query.

It is 20 working days now but what should be done if I dont receive anything by tomorrow

No response yet from the home office. I’m still not sure what should be done after 21 working days
