My sister received her passport today! Both our journeys are now complete. We started early February. She had trouble with the passport application, but it finally all worked out. Our other sister has her ceremony tomorrow! And, I just returned from a visit and it felt incredible to enter on my Brit...

Then just use whoever you interpret as qualifying. But do not be surprised if they reject your application. They won't reject it, they will simply ask you to provide another referee. 100s have done this from abroad and not reported any problems due to referees. I have never heard of a passport refu...

congratulations! Your journey is finally over! How about your sister? My process is complete!! Very cool to hold my new UK passport and see nationality “British Citizen”! Start to finish 7 months. However, it could have been shortened by at least 3 months. Application to ceremony invite was 3 month...

My process is complete!! Very cool to hold my new UK passport and see nationality “British Citizen”! Start to finish 7 months. However, it could have been shortened by at least 3 months. Application to ceremony invite was 3 months. Waited a month to have my ceremony so I could with my sister. (Worth...

After seeing that most others had their passports in a very short time, I really expected an easy time of this part of the process. However, I submitted my application online July 22 and still nothing. It took over two weeks for my documents to show as having been received. Now it’s been in the que...

Got tracking that it finally arrived today. Two weeks it took to get there! At least I know not lost. Now hopefully they will print and send passport to me soon. What a relief. How awful to think all the official documents could be just anywhere. Hope the rest of the process goes smoother. My appli...

I am really sorry to hear this keh723. It must be extremely stressful - I hope your papers have turned up by now. I received my passport this morning. DHL delivered the passport and documents separately. What a journey it has been. My favorite grey hair is called UKM. Good luck to everyone. You wil...

Hi there, good news. I received an email and sms on Tuesday, saying my application had been approved, and at 22h44 that same night I got another message, saying it had been printed and was being despatched. DHL then sent an sms on Wednesday saying it would be delivered by 17h00 on 20/8. Needless to...

Very impressed by the efficiency of HM Passport Office. Passport application was approved today, should be in my hands next week. Eligibility Criteria: UKM Nationality: United States Applying from: Unites States Method of application: Online with documents sent via DHL Payment method: Credit card D...

...... 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 in Atlanta. Had my ceremony there in May. They were wonderful.

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. Congratulations! They were so nice at the Atlanta British Consulate. It was very nice and intimate. They really make ...

***Update*** I’m officially a British citizen!!! My sister and I had our ceremony together this morning in Atlanta. It was wonderful. Very intimate and emotional. My family was there to witness this lovely event. So incredibly happy!! Eligibility criteria: UKM ( By descent ) Nationality: American Ap...

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. If your certificate was dispatched, you should hear very soon. It’s ge...

For anyone who has received their ceremony invitation, did you receive it via email or snail mail? I'm waiting to here from the UK consulate in Atlanta. I’m in Atlanta and actually have my ceremony on Friday. I received an email from the Atlanta Consulate. They instructed me to call to arrange my c...

Anyway, I wanted to wish you all going through this process the best of luck. When the time comes and you have your ceremony smile through it ( I say that as my anxiety took over and I sobbed most the way though mine lol ) . Keep that certificate safe, it's worth a lot of money they told me and you...

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...

I don't know for sure. I was able to request that I attend the Ceremony in Boston rather than San Francisco. I would think it would be possible. You should get an email from the Consulate in the US that receives your registration certificate. When the San Francisco consulate contacted me, I asked t...

Has anyone living in the US requested their ceremony in the UK? My sister and I were thinking we’d like to have it with our family there. I don't know for sure.

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...

I didn't request a change in venue, just a date change. I was originally offered a ceremony 5-6 weeks out to give me time to plan the trip to SF, but I informed them I live near SF, and they advanced me to a ceremony a week after the initial scheduling communication. I went with that. I'd guess tha...
