12th August - I checked with RoyalMail, Home Office has received my application

14th August - They have acknowledged receipt of my application with the fee

18th August - My cheque was cashed

14th September - I received my Citizenship Invitation. My application has been approved 7th September but in view of postal strike it only arrived today.
Congratulations aphrodite78, and thats very quick - only 4 - 5 weeks. Elsa has sent hers off today, although we decided not to use NCS and sent it by post (1st Class Recorded Delivery) instead. Hopefully it will also take a max of 6 weeks.

To be honest, Form AN is actually very simple compared to the applications for Spouse Visa and ILR, and thats part of the reason we didn't see the need to use NCS.
