We've taken a gamble and booked a holiday to Morocco during the last week of May so here's hoping it comes in on time! (Unfortunately I couldn't apply earlier as I was traveling to America for Christmas and had to wait until I got back.)

I suppose citizenship isn't actually a visa, so if this is posted in the wrong thread, please feel free to delete! However, the takeaway is: Less than 2 months from application to approval!

I hope the documents I submitted were enough I was not able to submit an employment letter and 5 year travel history because I was away overseas and has no access to work emails but I submitted payslip. It was only after the biometrics that I received those paperwork from my employer. Looking at the brighter side, perhaps and I hope it will help that I stayed with the same employer for 5 years...
