There’s no way ceremonies be held from Thursday on. When everything shuts of course councils do too and people work from home again. I just wonder if our certificates and invitations were printed anyway? If we call the helpline on Monday asking all why we didn’t receive as promised the invitations e...

I’m 100% sure ceremonies be cancelled too.

It’s a lockdown.

Hi Guys, Bit of an update from me (Birmingham Council), with an approval date of the 7th of July. Received an invitation letter from the council (NOT the Gov) saying that my (group) ceremony has been booked for the 24th of November. They stated that I should have received the invitation from the Go...

Since I was updated from this thread, better to update you guys. I have got council invitation letter today and it confirm that they have my certificate as some previous information. shared information in this thread looks real to me. I got approval email 2nd July invitation letter 31th Oct arrange...

Well with a new national lockdown, the HO will have a different thing to blame now. Before they were blaming the old lockdown, now they will be blaming the new lockdown. The new lockdown will probably cause a new backlog which will be cleared in 2028 probably! Even if they only shut the non-essenti...

So receiving invitations on 30 October was misleading information. I feel disappointed. Another problem is a significant variation in wait times. Some approved in May are still awaiting their invitation letters while some approved in mid-July have booked and/or attended their ceremonies already (an...

Now I’m holding my breath which are the dates getting letters today and tomorrow!

Me too!! It should arrive anytime soon - approval date 3/8

I will only know in the evening if there was mail.

But I keep my eyes open on that thread during the day of people posting it they got mail.

Guys just got an email back from Westminster council that they are receiving a big batch of certificates from home office today (all the approvals from July). And home office told them they would be receiving a deliveries every week now on. As I’m early September approval. Hence I have been told to...

I have emailed my council and wanted to know if they have received certificates again. However the answer was they don’t have my certificate and they are receiving June certificates. They don’t really answer the question if they have have received these June certificates this week as exactly this c...

Dear all sweet friends, I think we still have a great hope and want to share a news with you guys... I had a chance to speak with a kind person from UKVI today at 10:15am. The gentleman said we all who have already been granted their citizenship application upto 07/08/2020 will receive the invitati...

If that was all a joke we get it till end of this week I will send in a complaint here as letter (not email) and there’s a phone number too. https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/home-office/about/complaints-procedure?fbclid=IwAR09-o8whQ7OJwlHcwreaIdYqCzmHXN932T3djafsg2yeAjNBhGQr_UkBnA I subm...

I went once more through my responses from HO and they clearly state out there it takes up to 12 weeks to receive the invitation. It’s not said they also print the certificates and send them to the council at the same day. I really believe it will simply be the invitations to be dispatched this wee...

Hi all,
I've just called the helpline - they advised to call again next Monday, as by then they will be given instructions on how to chase invitations.

This doesn’t sound good..

Well I expect the helpline to crash next Monday of so many people calling....

It also concerns me if they have so much pressure suddenly to print 1000s of certificates in one go, that there will be a lot of spelling mistakes and we need to send them back which takes another 6-7 weeks. Since they started again quite a few people reported they had to sent certificates back and ...

Thanks Baybars1, never knew different department deal with invitation after the approval. You are welcome. Incidentally, you can find more about it in an audit report (link below). While the overall entity has been renamed as UK Visas and Immigration, the Nationality Group seems to be working as it...

I’ve seen the wording of new approval letters regarding ceremonies. They are asking people as well being patient for 12 weeks and they changed the wording from it may take up to 12 weeks to receive the letter to that councils deal with a high number of people. So it’s obvious that HO might send out ...

It looks like no invitations were sent this week?

Hopefully next Friday is finally the day!
