I still haven’t sent mine off yet. Did you send your US passport or a certified copy of it? I sent exactly what they asked for during the online passport application process. In my case they asked for Certificate of Registration, my US passports (all) and a document I had someone fill out to confir...

Passport arrived yesterday, my journey is now complete. Just about 7 months total including time to get the passport. Thanks everyone who helped along the way and best of luck to those still in the application processes. Eligibility Criteria: UKM Nationality: United States Applying from: Unites Stat...

Very impressed by the efficiency of HM Passport Office. Passport application was approved today, should be in my hands next week.

Two quick and related questions...... My wife is now in the eighth week since approval on May 3rd, and is still waiting for her invite from Paris. Does the invite usually come directly from the consulate or is it TLS contact, and will it come through her solicitor in the UK or directly to her? Many...

...... Ceremony was Friday in Atlanta, GA. Was all over and done quickly.....

Hi, and congratulations, where was the ceremony carried out, is there a British embassy or consulate in Atlanta, Georgia?

Yes there is a consulate office in downtown Atlanta.

Ceremony was Friday in Atlanta, GA. Was all over and done quickly, I could have had it done sooner but this fit with my schedule. Hoping to have the passport application done this week.

I´m still not sure if I´m eligible. My mother, although born in Brazil, has a "British citizen" passport issued in 1984. Probably she was considered a CUKC with Right of Abode on Dec 31 1982, and so was given that status (she never lived in the UK). The problem is that my grandfather was ...

Hi bletchlypark. I've read the UKM guide. It seems that I meet the requirements. I've requested on GRO site new copies of both my mother and my grandfather birth certificates since the original ones didn't have a registration number. I received them this week. I also have their original (expired) U...

Dear all, I´ve been going through almost all messages in this forum, which is an amazing source of information. I believe I may apply for British citizenship through the UKM route, as a person born before 1983 to a British mother. I was born in 1972 in Brazil to a British mother who was born in 194...

Well that didn't take long. Just a bit of phone tag and the ceremony is scheduled. I could have probably scheduled for as soon as next week but my schedule this month is a bit busy.

Update:

I received the invitation to attend a citizenship ceremony today. Will update when ceremony is scheduled.

I emailed my caseworker and much to my surprise they responded. She confirmed that my certificate has been dispatched to the consulate, but also reminded me the process can take up to 12 weeks.

Time to hurry up and keep waiting.

I have still yet to hear back on the ceremony. My approval was dated Apr 5, maybe they send the invitations out the beginning of the month? Hopefully I will hear something in the next couple of weeks.

It is sounding like they are pretty personal. They don’t have set times. I asked if May 31 was available. They replied it was, any time between 9:30 and 1:00. So, you can pick your date and time and as long as it is open and the VC is in the office...I have to reply now with what time and the names...

Home Office has granted the change in venue from NY to Atlanta for my sister. HO emailed her yesterday to let her know it was granted and that they would begin working with NY and Atlanta to transfer her certificate. Today she received official word from NY and, I from Atlanta, that the transfer is...

Hi Everyone, I have applied and paid online for UKM 2019/03/20 and documents were signed for on 2019/03/25. I have not heard anything from the home office. I see most of the timelines are around 4 weeks for Biometrics request, I am now at 6 weeks. Is it worth following up to see what is going on? o...

Got my ceremony invite today!! Mine will be in Atlanta and they have just asked that I contact to arrange it with them before June 12, which would be the end of my window. NY, for my sister, just gave her a couple choices of dates and times, which she’s not able to do. We are hopeful that Atlanta w...

Could someone refresh my memory but for those of us in the USA the average wait time between acceptance and ceremony is about 8 weeks? Does that sound about right?

Yay!! Congratulations!! Now we are back in the same place, waiting for ceremony invite. We may actually get to have it together in Atlanta! 🇬🇧🇺🇸 Did you hear anything back about scheduling the ceremony? I have to go there on business later this month anyway. Nope. Haven’t heard anything since recei...

Congratulations. Your date of receipt by UKVI, Did the UKVI confirm receipt? or did you take this from your courier confirmation of delivery? I sent my original documents on 22/3/2019 and have confirmation from DHL but nothing yet from UKVI, feeling a little nervous it was sent or received elsewher...

Quick update! :) I spent some time going back and forth with the consulate regarding my ceremony and they nicely worked it out so that I could have mine in Winnipeg! They have an honorary consul here. Took a bit of time to get a date set! Pretty close since the deadline to have the ceremony was Apr...
