You only did your biometrics 2 months ago, give it some time.

Assuming that you are resident in the UK, ILR does not expire (it lapses if you have been absent from the UK for at least 2 continuous years).

There are delays in the naturalisation system currently, due to Covid, Home Office staff working from home and a number of EU citizens applying to naturalise. Even after approval, there are delays in arranging citizenship ceremonies with the local councils, etc. So, keep patience.

And post any questions on delays in the stickie on that topic.

I applied and did my biometrics back in November and I’m still waiting.. so you’re not alone. It seems like there’s a lot of people who applied in January that have already heard and it’s killing me!
