Congrats!!

Regarding the date, for §5 StAG citizenship is acquired when the declaration is made/received by the BVA (the application is the official declaration). The 2-3 year wait is just wait for the BVA to confirm you were in fact eligible and therefore acquired citizenship. That’s why the certificate is backdated.
