Agree Lukesky it is taking longer than anticipated. Emails to Home Office receive an automatic reply, including specifically that they don't give updates inside 6 months. Also some FOI requests have received same answer. It is the open-ended nature of this that is hard. Some June applicants have already, some May don't. Brexit to blame. Stay cool.

I had a bit of an issue as I was not able to send my previous passports showing residency in UK at the time of application. However, in August I sent those passports directly to UK V & I to be considered as supplementary proof for my application. Even when I was at the NCS office the officer mentioned that they would contact me to ask for the other passports.

It has been 100 days today since I sent my original application and would like some input from people who have their applications accepted on whether this is completely normal as majority of applications get accepted within 80 days.
