Application end Dec 19. Biometrics end Jan. Approval e mail 3rd June No certificate or invite as yet. Oh nice, we have the...

I agree with you :) no one knowS what Home office is upto. I made my complaint on 10th August is it worth involving my MP in this issue. It’s a generic response I received the same email copy and paste. I don’t understand why they not printing certificate most of the Council saying the same thing t...

So in other words: 1. 6 months counts from the day they send you ceremony invitation letter 2. Please don't email Home Office, they're working through the backlog 3. Please don't contact your council, they're busy enough as it is It's not 6 months count from the day they send the invitation letter,...

I can’t believe I work full time in customer service, can go to every shop, eat in restaurants, see gyms being open, flights can be booked and people go on holidays, people who want to sell stuff knock on your door... but councils can’t open and therefore no certificates can get printed? Birmingham...

I called the same number over one week ago, hoping to find out what is the decision on my application as not getting any response to my emails (sent emails to all addresses I could find on this portal) and the gentleman I spoke with said that he will send an email to the HO as I should have receive...

Hey jeyrose17,

I truly wish that the lady I spoke to could tell me when June approvals could expect their letters to be despatched but she said she doesn't know. So I will try again tomorrow and see if someone else says something more beneficial.

Hi, Just to let you know that I spoke to the home office today in regards to the 10-12 weeks time frame. The lady that I spoke to said there was no time frame and that they are focusing on dispatching certificates before the lockdown and then slowly moving on to further dates once the february/ mar...

Hi there i received the call from my council they booked me in person for the ceremony middle of next month and they said i can bring the one person with me.

Congratulations

When was your approval date and did you get your invitation letter yet before they called you?

I know some people got the invitation letter just in past couple of days and booked the ceremony, so in short HO already started sending invitations too along sending certificates to the councils. Would you mind giving more details such as when those people get approved? Has it been before the look...
