Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

Overall ...councils will ring the applicants when councils will receive certificate from HO. Some councils are doing virtual ceremonies some not. Very recently few councils started to resume Cs. From now keep your phones near you and you will get a call 🤞. If you still have not got second letter fro...

Re: Citizenship Ceremony

I was notified by email last 25th July that my application was successful and that they would let me know when the Ceremony would take place (but to be prepared for delays due to covid). Can someone tell me if I will be notified by email or letter ? I am asking because I changed my address twice in...

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

Hi My application was approved on 20th May. I rang Bradford council a couple of weeks ago and they took my details and said someone will call back. No one rang so I rang them again today and their response was We are working very hard to start ceremonies soon. There are a lot of complicated things ...

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

I contacted the Home Office today and they clarified the information that a few of you brought here. Apparently, the HO started printing and sending new invitations/certificates on August 7th and we should expect to receive them by post within 10-12 weeks from August 7th onwards. To clarify: the co...

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

It’s puzzling 🤔, who would receive the invitation letter, council or applicant or both? If council gets the letter first then applicant have to wait or vice versa? Sounds like a viscous circle.

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

Guys I think it’s better to wait a bit. But surprisingly councils have not done anything, not proactive at all. But one of the councils in UK is doing well already.

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

Hi everyone, I applied in April 2020 and got my approval email in July. I'm aware I would need to wait a bit to get my ceremony invitation letter - however I'm going to move house at some point in September. I'm still happy to have the ceremony at my current Council, but I was wondering if I should...

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

That’s good to know. I guess you have to ask council when they will organise your ceremony even you got letter from HO? Or council already know about your invitation?

Re: Naturalisation application delays for Refugees Applicants

It’s upsetting me. I can’t imagine an organisation is having team in which few are unaccountable of their actions. Never heard so far. Definitely not a systematic, and replies from HO is like you are chatting to someone on Tinder. No freedom of information, no equality and badly informed approached....
