In conclusion they said I would get an email when they conclude with my application...dont no whether to scream or cry......decided to take my mind off and concentrate on other thing.....

Then changed address in August .
Sent a written letter regarding change of address but no confirmation recieved.
Found this thread .. and checked status of application - says Awaiting Decision -, updated - 27th June 2017.

Wondering if they have recieved the letter or not . Should I email them about the same / will my application be affected because of this. Not sure of anything lately.

I can tell you in my case that the status was correct. It changed to Decided on the 25 Sep and when I spoke to them on the phone they said they dispatched it in early October so I will receive it this week. The funny thing is I already received a ceremony invitation letter from the council asking me to book it. So I know I have been approved but I am still waiting for the approval letter before I book it.

Quick question... I've seen some posts saying that you got "Decided" on the website but then after enquiring the ho people got told that actually it was not yet decided....
Anybody had it the other way around? "Awaiting decision" on the website but still got the letter from HO?

HI - Just a quick update and question if anyone applied same day?

Application date is 17.05.2017

Status: Awaiting decision

Tomorrow ill be exactly 5 months in.

I emailed them last week, still no reply.

Really great service for almost £2k spent all together.

Frustrated.

[swintooh]

If that's of any help T400, I've submitted my family application 3 weeks later, paid nearly £6000 and still no news. Well as we all know, Brexit was all about getting rid of us Poles, so I'm not at all surprised we are dealt with the lowest priority...
No point emailing until 6 months is up - they'll just send you standard response to wait until the 6 months is up, then to contact them.

Unless you get approval letter in paper as an evidence, I don’t think we can do anything.....

I am too waiting from last 5 months now.
Don’t know what do I do now .....

Hi guys
I applied on the in August 2017. Application received on 17th August, biometrics on 23rd and after that status changed to awaiting decision. On 12th October status changed to decided. Doesnt sound very good to me when I see all other applicants still waiting for months. Is it a refusal? Worried now

That's roughly 2 months. It does not necessarily mean refusal. May be yours is a straight forward application. Or it could be the same case as some people that theirs showed DECIDED and they called HO and HO told them it is still Waiting for Approval. To the best of your knowledge, is there anything you did not declare on the application, things like FPN/Police Caution etc.,

Do let us know what the outcome is when you evetually get the letter.

[Smallstew]

@Duke78 I don't think you should start worrying because yours seam to have been decided too soon, and for that you suspect the outcome. Ideally the turn arround time for most applications before things got out of hand like this, is two months.My wife and kids got theirs decide within two months, one of my colleagues got hers' decided under two months as well.These applications where made in November last year (2016).My own application was made on 22/05/2017.Nearly 5 months on, I am still waiting.
I think it is a combination of timing and case worker.

So if yours says decided, take it and be positive that you will get a positive result.You may just be one of the lucky few(In terms of waiting time)

@Duke78.

Don't worry, its all down to caseworker i believe.
Every person way of working is different. Some people are more cautious, some are always quick and some are like take it easy...
So don't think negative. Congrats and now just wait for approval letter(in next 10 days)

[Duke78]

Many thanks my friends for replying. I am a doctor. Had Tier2 for 5 years plus 1 year ILR. I attended a speeding course in 2015 even before ILR. Other thing was I had warrants of recovery issued in my name by a bailiff because of an unpaid London dart charge. This was accidental just because all mail was going to my old address. The issue was resolved as soon as I came to know and I paid the whole amount all at once. There was no CCJ judgement or anything. I applied through a well reputed solicitor firm and even they said that my case was straight. I declared everything to the solicitor. So now lets see what luck holds for me. Will keep you guys updated. Hope its good.

[Ibiyemi]

My application was on 14th Febuary, 2017, biometrics done 2weeks after. My status was last updated 25th of June and is still saying 'awaiting decision'. Hopefully that will change soon because am worried sick. Its more than 8months & am Keeping my finger crossed. Thanks

I received email from HomeOffice. You can dial them on the number visibile on the link where you check your status. They will contact the relevant team and you can request a call back. They don't tell decision over the phone.

Hi all

The online status of my application was updated to 'Decided' on 5th Oct 2017 however I havent received anything in post yet.
I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing delay in receiving the paperworks after their status was updated to Decided or its just me

[Sam69]

Sam69, Dont surrender your Indian PP, until you receive your British PP by post. It happened to one of my friend and they found themselves in unfortunate situation in an emergency.

For me my ceremony is mid Nov, however I'm travelling out of UK in 2nd week of Dec.
I'm hoping I will receive PP by end of Nov, if not I will have to use my current nationality passport, but apply a visa for my travel. Touchwood, I will receive British PP by end of Nov.

Dont surrender Indian PP on ceremony day immediately, you dont have to. Allow some time for it, as there is no penalty for travelling on Indian PP for 3 or 6 months I believe

Thanks @arvindb4u for heads up, problem is rules are not clear regarding submission of Indian Passport. On the website they say once you receive nationalisation certificate you shall submit your passport ASAP. but you are correct no need to hurry in surrendering our present passport if I am planning to travel.

hi
