Nikkim: Am I missing something? Are the posts regarding their timeframes to citizenship false? What would anyone achieve by suggesting their application is approved before others?

I don't know if they are false, but it doesn't look good for someone to register multiple times to comment on the same thread with different accounts.

Oh! I understand :)
Thanks for explaining. I was just curious. I applied in late oct last year and I’m still awaiting an outcome. I was trying to make sense of what’s happening with the applications based on people’s experiences, which is why I asked if the information was false.
Thanks again for your response.

Yes it is a bit frustrating. I followed up on 13 Sept and my case officer said it takes 6-8 months to be processed after being assigned to a case officer. This does not seem to correct as it is not what you have experienced and it is also different to what is stated on the DIA website. So I don't understand what the hold up is or why I've been advised of a different timeframe.

General update;

Applied online (joint application). Nov 30th 2020. Today I finally had an email asking for a new passport photo and a second email confirming all my details are correct. Finally some progress!

Quick question - at what stage do they take the payment? Immediately upon receipt? (Month Zero)
