Thanks vk1979 and well done to lumin2005.

I really hope I get mine before the end of June.... I'd really like to phone them as well but it doesn't really appear to help much!!

When I was at the NCS the lady told me it would be roughly 3 months. Is this what anyone else has been told or knows about? I know they say it can be up to 6 months....

Do you know when did they have 10,000 undecided applications? It was not clear from the FOI response, to which date the status was updated. If this was as of 1st April, surely many of those applications have been decided by now.

I check the post box every day. I can't believe the way HO is treating March applicants. Waiting game with HO is a torture not a privilege (They say citizenship is a privilege)!

Congratulations VK1979. At last a good news for you, have u managed to arrange your ceremony yet? Best of luck for those who have been waiting. It seems that March club is slowed down a bit. Anyhow all you need to do is kill your time, and you never know your approval could be on the way...
