Re: Waiting for Passport!

That’s a very interesting topic. Can someone clarify to me how the system is choosing where your application goes to? Will it be the nearest one or is it random?

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

Yes, they must have done the same what CT4 has done. Someone told me they’ve had the same error. I know that some one the first numbers were working.
