Hi all I am about to post my supporting documents to the passport office in Peterborough for my first passport. I will post them by Royal Mail special delivery delivery tomorrow which means it will get delivered on Saturday. Is the passport office open on Saturdays? Or should I delay posting so that...
Hi Everyone I will be applying for my first British passport after naturalisation next week. I had two queries: 1- I have three passports in total, 2 expired and 1 valid. Will I need to send all 3 passports alongside my naturalisation certificate? My first entry stamp to the UK from 2010 is in one o...
I have some good news to share. I called Bristol council and they have received my certificate. My online application was submitted on 17 Aug and the approval date on my letter was 23 Sep. I checked last Friday and my certificate hadn’t arrived. So it looks like Bristol council got my certificate b...

So looks like the lockdown is going into effect on Thursday. There’s just about enough time left for the home office to send one final batch of certificates through (I know my council was expecting another batch by Tuesday/Wednesday this coming week). This should hopefully cover all people approved ...
Their number is 0117 922 2800 (option 3 I think for ceremonies). They didn’t tell me what approval dates they have received till but the lady was very helpful and if you give your details she will check if your certificate has arrived. She also seemed very confident that another delivery of certi...
Called Bristol council today, they said they had received a batch of certificates yesterday. She said they are expecting another one on Wednesday next week and to call and check on Thursday. Things are picking up pace now. Amazing, did they say what approval date they received, also what is their n...

Hi everyone I have just sent an email to The Independent stories Team on their email address below: newsdesk@independent.co.uk I have highlighted the severe delays the HO is currently forcing on us with no update and the broken promises about clearing the backlog. If possible, can other forum member...
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/coronavirus-british-citizenship-ceremonies-home-office-b514515.html Interesting article, I got excited for a min thinking that this would put pressure on the HO. Unfortunately it looks like the article was published on 21 Sep, it’s been more than a mo...
Do we know where the HO facility for printing ceremony certificates is? Is it all over England or is it one big secure facility in a central location? If it’s located in the North, then there will be more delays as more and more places are going into tier 3 lockdowns.
I don’t understand why the HO is delaying the printing of the July approvals. It gives very little hope to late September approvals such as myself. If July approvals are starting to fall behind (for no apparent reason) and with another national lockdown looking more and more likely in England, then ...
Have we had any more ceremony invites sent out for July approvals? According to baybars model, the printing of all July certificates should have been completed by now and invitation letters in the post for delivery any time in the next 2 weeks.
@amine_bristol can you please confirm if Bristol council contacted you automatically when they got your certificate or did you have to email them? I am with Bristol council too and waiting for my invite letter. Hey! Nope, Bristol Council did *not* contact me automatically. I just happened to email ...
Just got the below response from Bristol council: The delay is currently several months. The Home Office was closed during lockdown which has led to a backlog of citizenship cases. This may speed up now that ceremonies have resumed or it may slow down depending on any new covid-19 developments. The ...
Do we know for sure whether that the citizenship invite ceremony letters are being sent in date order? I got my citizenship approval on 23 Sep, I had submitted my application on 17 Aug with IDV photo submission on 7 Sep. However, I know there are people who submitted citizenship applications in June...
Hi all I got my citizenship approval email on 23 Sep and it mentioned that citizenship ceremony invites can take up to 12 weeks to be received. However, I’ve been hearing of cases where the council received the confirmation from the home office yet the applicant had not received the ceremony invitat...
Hi everyone My wife had applied for her Tier 2 PBS dependent visa extension on 7 June 2020. Her visa was expiring on 8 Aug 2020, however due to corona virus and late roll out of the IDV app, a decision was made on her application 18 Sep 2020. Her new BRP has just been delivered to us and it’s validi...
Hi everyone I booked a flight to Austria at the start of this year for Dec (27 Dec 20 - 2 Jan 21). Since then everything has come to a standstill due to corona and I understand hardly any EU country is offering a schengen visa for tourism purposes. What are the chances that tourist visa applications...
