[koshkabrest]

Yeah. Just called them and heardcthe usual the application has not yet been processed by HO and they advise to wait. And they cannot even tell me if a case worker has been allocated to my application as apparently They Don't have such Information. Getting really frustrated here to be honest. And what does this mean- thevapplication has not yet been processed???? They surely made sure to take the fee a month ago.

Normally ask ref no , name , dob and address

Applied on 30 October , fees on 11 jan and still waiting

Good news guys. My application has been approved. I applied on 26th October. Fees taken on the 10th January. Yesterday ny barristers informed me that I got approved. I havent received yhe documents back yet as they are waiting for the citizenship ceremony invitation letter to come through so they can forward everything together to me. I just want to say Do not rely on what HO is telling u!. As u may know I have contacted them last Friday and they told me that my application has not even been processed yet, but apparently it was already approved at the time I was calling them as my approval reveived the next working day!. As soon as I receive all the papers back will post an update. Just want to thank everyone in this forum for your daily support and encouragement and wish u all the best and let your approvals come quickly!

Key - how long did they take to reply to you? i've emailed them 2 days ago but have yet to receive any reply...
Thanks.

[key]

I sent it on sunday and got a reply on tuesday afternoon.

[koshkabrest]

Guys. Do not rely on the replies from HO. I have written earlier that they told me my application wasn't even processed yet on the date when I actually got my approval!. Do not rely on those answers as mist of the time they don't even bother checking!.I know how frustrating it gets and believe me it will come soon! Wish u all the luck and a lot of patience!
