" Your application is successfull and should be with you shortly if you dont get you application in two weeks time than contact home office again ".

Looks I have been an unlucky one.
I e-mailed them yesterday and got a reply his morning that no decision has been made.

I e-mailed back asking whether the application has been allocated to a caseworker and I am now awaiting an additional reply.

I must admit that I am quite stressed. But I guess there is nothing I could do at this point.

This is great email address, I've got my approval via this address. The person wouldn't tell me first if my application has been approved but I asked nicely one more time and I have been informed that my application has been approved! Great news, now I am waiting for brown envelope :)
My bumpy road with lack of WRS (lost) is nearly over :)
Good luck to people waiting for their approval !

Still nothing. I called them up and they say yes payment has been taken (I never received acknowledgment), but can't tell me whether case has been assigned or anything. Basically, just shut up and wait.

SO frustrating.

I have called and emailed HO for status and they finally confirmed today that a decision was sent out yesterday and have refused to tell me the status. Now am so nervous not sure wot to expect as my application was not so straight forward. I had to declare a CCJ I had last year but was unaware of when I applied for ILR. SO not sure if my application might be rejected. Just so stressed

Hey, use provided email address
NationalityProgress@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk

Ask them nicely, even when they refuse you to confirm what decision has been made on your application, I asked twice and I get confirmation from them that my application is successful :)
Just try it!
Good luck
