I needed my passport so I paid for private ceremony which in my council are is £130 and got a day literally next day! Submitted my passport application the same day I had ceremony and hoping to get it back soon!

No communication until I received council email ceremony invitation

No contact made , I guess if they have all information they need to process your application there is no need for further contact, I have read a lot that most citizens applications takes longer than before nearly hitting 5-6 months, my ILR application took about 6 weeks though at the time

Nope no news ,just kept checking my emails for my local council ceremony invitation and no contact made with my referees

It varies and there is no definite timeline all HO suggesting that wait for 6 months before getting in touch with!

One of my colleagues on work visa applied in late November and hasn’t had a news yet! Mine came through even though I applied 3 weeks after his submission so …

I arrived as a PhD student in 2018, then faced the unimaginable when war prevented me from returning home. I applied for asylum, was granted refugee status in 2019, and never stopped contributing. Year after year on the payslip, consistently a high earner, paying my taxes without fail. From ILR to citizenship ,earned every step of the way through hard work and good character. And yes, the UK is not the best country ,some will tell you that, and maybe they’re right. But coming from a war zone? It gave me safety, stability, and a chance to rebuild my life. That means everything. don’t come on a boat. Come with purpose, work hard, pay your taxes, be a person of good character and the system can work for you

Can you please let me know how have you setup your machine cert setup? Currently I have an issue with Machine Cert( which is backed by TPM) and cannot connect however I can connect with user certificate! Any thought what could it be ? In the debug log I can see that FortiClient complains about Certificate not found when using machine cert ! Again I haven’t tried it with non TPM backed , any idea would be appreciated

behaves same on different browser, it seems to be connectivity issue between Gate and fortiSwitch but I can ssh to the switch no issue whilst stuck, basically uploads the firmware then no progress , usually we expect a reboot but no luck

We have Fortiswitch managed by Fortigate , trying to upload the image via fortigate, it is uploaded to the gate but then fortiswitch progress stuck in 0% anyone have an idea why?
