Hi

Is there anyone here with Hillingdon Council
It’s for a friend who got approved in November but waiting for the invitation letter

Hi
This is for a friend who got approved today via email and from Hounslow council.

Baybars1 or anyone from Hounslow Council can please tell me what is the waiting time I can see people who got approved end of September are getting their approval letters.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks Baybays1

I just called Surrey county Council they have received certificates for September aswell also they are trying to arrange virtual ceremonies during lockdown

So what’s the verdict are councils going to stop the ceremonies ?

Hi All

Reply from the Hillingdon council

Good morning

Unfortunately we will not be conducting citizenship ceremonies during the 4 week lockdown.

Regards

Anyone whose ceremonies are taking place from 2-4 should consider them very lucky I was approved on the 4th August and hoping to get my certificate before the lockdown

The lockdown is only imposed In England ukba will remain open as it was during the first lockdown I am assuming ceremonies will take place in Scotland and Wales .

Registrars office deals with citizenship , marriages and new born birth certificates

Hi all

Million dollar question will ceremonies be put on hold I think they will for a month or the lockdown maybe beyond 2 December . weddings and civil partnerships are put on hold so most likely citizenship ceremonies aswell

Hi All

I called Hillingdon Council no joy for me yet however they have revived a big batch which needs to be lodged into the system I hope they have my certificate.

Fingers crossed

Ukba reminds me of Pakistan’s Cricket Team one minute down next minute up

Congratulations
My approval date is 4 August will call the council tomorrow

Congratulations boyted

If you can post your approval date and name of the council.

Apologies if you have posted them in the past

Hi

Spoke to Hillingdon and Surrey County council they both confirmed that Home office sent an email to them confirming they will get July certificates this week.

Fingers crossed

Hi
I doubt we will receive the letter by end of this week.
U.K.B.A.s helpline is outsourced and I’m sure by next week they will get updated information to tell people to wait till end of November.

The problem is ukba is not printing the certificates at this moment.
Fingers crossed

Hi U Aziz

I am still waiting for mine my approval was on 4 th August so it could be end of this week or next week.
Fingers crossed

Hi
Is there anyone who was approved after 20th July and received their approval letter?

Baybars1 Once again everyone is looking at you for an updated model

Just called the home office helpline and was informed that everyone who got approved before 7 August should receive their invitation letters by end of October or by first week of November

Hi All

Seems like ppl who got their Approvals after mid July are still waiting I haven’t seen many approvals this week.

Is there anyone who got approved in July and is from Hillingdon Council ?

Hi U Aziz

How was your ceremony ?
Did Hillingdon council let you attend the ceremony without the invitation letter ?

Regards
