Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

I have sent an email to my CT department. In our approval letters are the numbers which CT department they respond from and to this one I have sent an email this week. It was said it was sent on 11/11. That was Wednesday. As on Thursday my council confirmed they have received my certificate I assum...

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

@Frou01 Yes i think they are catching up with the speed of printing ceremony invitations and certificates. Not everyone receives a UKVI survey but usually it is received after decision. From what I’ve seen applicants got it usually like 2 weeks after approval. So maybe like you said yours has been ...

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

Obviously my letter was sent to me on 11th this week. I’m wondering how long a second class letter can take? If it arrives soon might be worth changing to a private ceremony which is a lot sooner. Hi I know we have similar approval dates (3/8 me) How do you know it was sent on 11/11? I have sent an...

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

As my council has now received my certificate and told me certificates to them and invitations to us are sent out the same day I assume issues for not receiving the invitation is caused by a delay of Royal Mail. There hasn’t been any mail in 8 days in follow and my husband and me usually get regular...

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

I'm in the same boat (pre-lockdown application, approved during the spring lockdown, no progress since) and here are the options I've tried so far: 0) Phone helpline - fairly useless I'd say as they are an outsourced company, don't have access to the system and can't provide any case-specific infor...

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

Hi everyone, I've been a fly on the wall but thought I would share my recent update. I received my invitation letter today. I applied in June and was approved the first week in August . My only concern is that my invitation lists my council as Nottinghamshire County Council . However, my actual cou...

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

Looks like we're in the same boat (applied 3 March, approved 26 May). Sounds like lockdown email approval was a curse rather than the blessing I thought it was at the same time. I have now basically spammed the same email to a half dozen of home office email addresses as well as checking with the c...

I am happy for everyone receiving their invitations but unfortunately it's sad mine approved on 20th July still didn't arrive yet.

Council emailed me back this morning not having my certificate yet. :[

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

I have strong concerns they will realise they whether sent the wrong batches (September!) or lost or forgot the August batches as they don’t communicate with us. Because they switched off the emails and the lady at the helpline has confirmed HO does NOT want to get contacted by us by email anymore ...

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

Dear Oxana, would you please like to stop your provocations now. Home Office has made the rule to send invitations in order to approval date, they never said in was in order to when the applicant has applied in the first place. It’s not that I agree that’s fair but it’s what they said, what they do ...

Something definitely went wrong with the mid to late August batch of certificates from comments here. Myself and hubby approved on 21st August 2020 and not heard anything till now. No invitation letter yet and when our local council got a big batch this week our certificates weren’t included. I wor...
