Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

Hi Baybars1, Thanks goodness, we have YOUR help as well as support from the Moderators in this Forum. I wish I could be as patient as you are with regards to Tirinti’s latest comments, when I read your answers to that user. You spoke my mind too.

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

But as I said earlier, just because there is no information available, we shouldn't hammer them with questions as this is not helping at all. Oh, don't you worry about that. The call centre staff are so uninformed and detached from the actual casework that I am 100% certain that you will not be int...

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

If they just added a function to check the status of the application online they would get a lot less calls and emails. For those approved, they could perhaps distinguish among; approved, ceremony invite awaiting printing, queue number 12345 ceremony invite printed ceremony invite sent by 2nd class...

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

That is very true but I would have also expected since we are required to pay nearly £2000 for the "luxury", the least they can do is keep us informed. We don't want too much, all we want to know is where they are at with the backlog and with printing the certificates. This information ca...

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

First of all- don't you think, guys that this platform IS actually doing HO work ? For so advanced country as UK is- and so little is done to inform its citizens ( well, almost citizens ) on the final stage of the veeeeery stressful process ? And lucky ones- did you receive that letter in paper for...

Now that we have reached mid-July approvals with ceremony invites, let's take stock of the timeline projections. Better-than expected performance with respect to letter-sending timeline for some recent approvals has prompted me to the previous scrap point estimate for the arrival date of the invite ...
