Some may be straight forward and some may need further checks.
And if you are unlucky, it might just be at bottom of pile, waiting for CW to pick up.
That's why it would help if there was an online tracking, to see if it is moving from one step to next and not gathering dust on a desk.

Thank you! I had the ceremony on Wednesday just passed and now it is all official, I am naturalised! The forums have been invaluable as a resource, I've not had to hire any professional advisors at all.
Now the only task left is the passport application!

Eligibility criteria: ILR + marriage to BC
Method of application: Camden NCS
Date of application: 14 May 2013
Date of acknowledgement: 20 May 2013
Date of approval: 24 Nov 2013
Date of Ceremony: 9 December 2013
Still waiting, it's been two months now. My documents are really straightforward, I believe I clearly satisfy all requirements, so I'm not sure why the delay. I wonder whether my nationality – I'm Russian – may explain the delay.
UPDATE NOV 2013: It took 6.5 months but it was worth the wait
Good luck to everyone waiting!
