Thank you!! It is strangely empowering. It's ridiculously satisfying to have completed this process. I totally agree. I still look at my passport in wonder. You, Sunburn and I were all on the same timeline so I am really enjoying the success of all of us. I am watching the Brexit votes with a very ...

For those who have been successful and have their certificate of British citizenship - if you have an opinion about Brexit, there is a petition circulating online. They asked if I was a British citizen and allowed me to participate, even with me currently living in the US. It was pretty cool. I am n...
Thank you!! It is strangely empowering. It's ridiculously satisfying to have completed this process. Yours has been significantly longer than the prescribed 6 month processing time too, as an early Romein applicant. Congrats for hanging in there through it all! How did the HMPO update you on the st...

Costco may be able to do it . In my case I had some a set taken at a local shop when I was in UK a while ago . Thank you! I hadn't even thought of Costco. Unfortunately, our Costco doesn't do photo stuff. I did find a photographer here that said he can do UK passport photos. He will do 6 for $20. H...
Well, you could do what I did for the Form UKM application - cut the US passport sized pics to UK size with scissors :D My application was approved, so I guess they didn't find them disagreeable. In any case, presented with the chance to get this done to specification in UK recently, I just went ah...

I received my approval on September 20th, and received my invite to the citizenship ceremony on November 14th. They gave me the date of December 7th for the ceremony. Because I was traveling out of the country until the 6th, I accepted contingent on flights not being delayed and me arriving home on...

I sent in my preferences on July 26 and had confirmation back from UKVI on August 2nd. The appointment was for August 10th. I'm in California. Hope that helps.
I totally share your surprise at the speed of the process. I was really not expecting to hear anything until the end of the year, having prepared for a 4-6 month timeline. I don't have any idea what speeds things up or slows things down, but wonder if as time goes on there aren't more applications c...
I did my application with an agency in London, but had to gather and send all of my documents to them. I didn't discover this forum until after I started that process. I sent all certified copies of certificates (birth, marriage), but only color copies (non-certified or notarized) of both my and my ...
I submitted my application for British citizenship via the February 2018 Romein decision in early July. I received my approval letter on September 20, and am currently waiting for my ceremony invitation. So yes, positive decisions are being made! Good luck!
