Hello there, I would like to ask whether anybody knows if it's possible to change the council? I was approved in July, ceremony invitation arrived a week ago but Greenwich council doesn't do ANY ceremonies at least until March [for now, might be extended]. I don't want to wait another 6 months for a...

Hi there, so I haven't been here for a while but thought I share my timeline, finally! Registered: 02.05.2020 Appointment booked: 07.07.2020 Appointment attented: 09.07.2020 Approved: 20.07.2020 Invitation letter arrived: 25.01.2021 [dated 07.01.2020] Today I also received an email from the HO as a ...

Address change especially in covid times can be very tricky. Make sure the post is not sent to your old address. Did you also change the council after approval? It could take ages changing councils even pre-corona, given covid, it can be a nightmare as you already are going through! HO confirmed ad...

Hello there, so here I am back again.. I was approved on 20th July and still didn't get an invitation. Waiting for it for over 18 weeks. I tried so many ways already and exhausted all my options and honestly I am tired of this. HO was contacted several times over the phone, they did escalate it 2x f...

Nooo, don't worry, you are not the only one.

Approved on 20th July and still waiting for an invitation. :[

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. :[

Does anyone know how reliable the information from the citizenship support mailbox is? I have received the same generic response below twice today for 2 separate emails that I sent to them 2 months ago and 2 days ago. All received today simultaneously to the separate emails. 'Good Afternoon, I refe...

There were 2-3 weeks in October when no one reported receiving an invitation. Probably something went wrong at HO, they thought they are printing and dispatching, but they weren't. It mast have been fixed later and so the September approvals went according to plan. August and late July has been los...

Fingers crossed that we...

I am happy people are receiving their invitations but unfortunately I still didn't get anything. :[

I was approved on 20th July [Greenwich council] and people approved in September are getting their invitations which doesn't make any sense at all..

Anybody with the Greenwich council?

My approval was on 20th July and still no invitation. :[

The approval was on 15 July. What is the point of two invitation letters then? And do you know if the HO one is sent by mail or by email? Yeah, I agree, I don't see any point either. Some councils will do the ceremony without an invitation from the HO. When I mentioned this to my council yesterday,...

I have received an invitation from the Reading Borough Council for a ceremony in November and will now see if they go ahead or whether they will cancel the November date. One question regarding the "invitation letter". I have received my approval letter from the HO back in July, informing...

Hi all so i have received below from my council - i have asked them if i can change the address as i moved flats few weeks ago, I have set the royal mail forwarding but not sure if that will work with HO letter : "We are unable to update your address without the Home Office consent, so please ...

I very much like your response, points of which I agree and I am thinking of copying it and sending to my mp, I also think we should create a petition to digitise the citizenship ceremony and certificate which will be debated on parliament if it receives 10000 signatures. I think i will send it to ...

Btw don't even bother calling the HO. I just waited 25 mins to get to a really rude guy who denied whatever I was told before [July approvals will receive invitations by the end of October]. "I am just gonna have to wait until I receive it, no further updates." HO is a joke. :D Did they e...

Just a quick update. I just spoke to a Greenwich council who told me group ceremonies won't take place during another lockdown but private will continue as normal. Unfortunately they still don't have my certificate [approved 20th July] but they will be getting another 150 today so helpfully mine wil...

Dear all, Just an update, my closed one's certificate was arrived at his council on 31/10/2020 for 14/10/2020 approval but no invitation letter. This just made me think whether they were printing out all the certificates as they knew second lockdown will come in place so they won't be able to print...
