Thanks a lot for the advice baybars1. 21 days. It took 13 days to get to me already. So probably 21 days to book. Thanks Learning18, I am hoping it’s 21 to book and 3 or 6 months to attend. Leeds City Council states it’s 6 months. https://www.leeds.gov.uk/residents/births-deaths-and-marriages/becom...

General Update on Leeds City Council. I called Leeds City Council today and I must say the lady on the phone was very polite and very helpful. She said the council is conducting ceremonies in small groups of 10 every other week and they are receiving certificates mostly for people who got approvals ...

Hi All, I am thinking of travelling and will be away from UK for 2 months (during this time I am planning to stay in contact with council and find out if they have received my letter or not - as soon as they say they received my letter I will book a flight back to UK the next day). I got my approval...

Hi Wahidwadid,

Hi Hkay, after submitting your application you should see the button/link to download the Referee form.

Hi All,

A quick one: I received my approval via email 2 weeks ago but haven't received any letter from UKVI yet via post. Is this normal? or have you guys received an approval letter via post after receiving an email approval?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Many Thanks.
Blue Skies.
