Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

Hi all, I was approved on 20 July, and was now able to book a ceremony with Camden council on 04 November. I still haven’t received my invitation letter though, I was able to book online on the council website. I was approved on 20th July too but how did you know your council has the certificate? I...

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

Anybody from Greenwich here and waiting? I called today and spoke with a helpful chap who looked on the system but my name hasn't been logged on the system yet. There also seems to be some form of division of labour where phone enquiries are dealt with by general Registrar staff rather than those w...

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

Hi I doubt we will receive the letter by end of this week. U.K.B.A.s helpline is outsourced and I’m sure by next week they will get updated information to tell people to wait till end of November. The problem is ukba is not printing the certificates at this moment. Fingers crossed Yeah, I don't thi...

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

I have emailed my council and wanted to know if they have received certificates again. However the answer was they don’t have my certificate and they are receiving June certificates. They don’t really answer the question if they have have received these June certificates this week as exactly this c...

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

Good afternoon, Just a question for all who got their approval letters by email and later got invitation letters as well. Does your approval email come from NationalityCaseworkDecisionService@homeoffice.gov.uk? or any other email? My approval was from the caseworkers email, writing within the email...

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

Well I started to lose patience so I decided to give the Home Office a call which has left me even more frustrated! After waiting for 45 minutes to be connected (not even exaggerating!) some man picked up and he was absolutely not interested in what I had to say. I did not call to shout at him or a...

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

I was told in an email by further enquiries it can take up to 12 weeks after the approval date. I was approved on 10 August and I’m currently in week 11. I wonder how they want to manage, they must have some kind of plan when they decided it will be maximum 12 weeks. I am on the 13th week. :D I was...

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

That’s very disappointing. By now all certificates and invitations by the date of 1 August should be printed. I also haven’t seen in the last days people of July reporting they received a letter. The response mentioning the certificate will be printed once restrictions are eased makes no sense as p...

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

Ah, this is not good. I was also approved on the 20th of July and was expecting my certificate to have been printed around a week ago based on the model that we have on this forum. If they have not printed the certificate yet - given that it can take 20 days to receive the letter by post, July appr...

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

Hi there, I got my approval on 20th July, still waiting for an invitation letter. I have emailed HO [Citizenship.Support@homeoffice.gov.uk] about change of the address by the end of August and also asked about the invitation as it's ridiculous. They replied yesterday [after 2 months!] saying address...
