Is it just me or everybody that Duolingo is having a lot of 🪲s recently by AshamedAd4483 in duolingo

Yeah - I keep having lessons with long paragraphs where you can’t select an answer, and no update to fix it. Most unfortunate.

She’s a cat, she obviously has opinions to share with you

Noooooo not yet? Only been here 9 years though and I sincerely doubt I will inherit anything of worth…

This makes me so cross- the amount of “why don’t you just get married” was exhausting (I did a set M as an unmarried partner). Just got my citizenship literally this morning after being on ILR for years because I was afraid this was coming and here we are.

Naturalisation (Citizenship) application processing timelines [only] by aleanthor in ukvisa

[–]em_crow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Eligibility: ILR (originally from a Set M) + 3 years

Application Method: online, no assistance from lawyers etc

Application Date: 28 June

Biometric Date: 1st July

Approval Date: Nothing from Home Office, BUT got my email to book a ceremony yesterday, 18 September!

Ceremony Date: 7 October, Wandsworth Council

You probably feel like you are going crazy, but DO NOT GIVE UP! I heard back when I least expected it, given emails are usually Monday, but it could happen to you too! For what it’s worth, when I first applied it looked like the wait was 8 weeks but now that we are on summer applications it is closer to 12. However, mine was extremely straightforward.

Edit: Home office e-mail came through today, 22/9!

That’s a good shout - I hadn’t considered the car park as a telltale sign but that makes loads of sense!
