Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

The Independent has just posted an article about our situation: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/coronavirus-british-citizenship-ceremonies-home-office-b514515.html While it’s not fully accurate and tends to focus on the situation of people born in the UK to foreign parents, it’s good...

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

Hi, I hope you guys are all in good health. I just want to help everyone that are waiting distressed like me. I called the immigration helpline today at 08006781767. I explained them my situation and told them that I've now waited over 12 weeks. The guy was super nice and friendly. He said, he open...

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

Are they able to assist if you don't involve your MP? The only recommendation they gave me was to email citizenship.support@homeoffice.gov.uk, I emailed twice and haven't got any response at all. So far they haven’t been able to assist me except: Originally giving me wrong information stating that ...

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

I continued to call Camden Council and the citizenship helpline (0300 123 2253). One council registration officer has told me they have been receiving certificates regularly but couldn’t confirm how frequently. Unfortunately I couldn’t get a sense of the volume of certificates they receive. Nobody o...

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

I have been in touch with my local Camden Council Registration Service Manager and he emailed me today suggesting that I continue checking if my certificate has been received on their website rather than calling as they receive a high volume of calls. Whenever I check on their website the message re...

can you please advise me after how many weeks you had a response from complaint department its my 3rd week i am still waiting to hear from them
It took around 4 weeks I think. They need to respond to your complaint within 20 working days which basically means within a month, give or take.

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

viscous cycle indeed, I tried my best but Haringey council said head office is very strict on only conducting ceremonies when individuals have received their invitation letter. I've filed a complaint with home office online and will be filing one today with my council. I got a reply to the complain...

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

I applied in early February and got approved in early June (despite my application being very straightforward). I have sent countless emails to the Home Office citizenship support email address and to my council. I have also used the online complaint form to file a complaint against the Home Office....

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

If I won't become citizen before the end of the year, I will have to apply for the settled status and then wait another year to apply for the citizenship again. I wonder if I should contact Home Office and tell them I can attend ceremony in any council. This is not directly related to the topic, bu...
