Yes, I believe Ceremonies are considered an essential service. Just like in lockdown, most councils continued hosting them. They might only offer private/virtual and you might not be allowed to bring guests though.

RBKC too, still nothing for me :( 21st Sept approval. May I ask if the council contacted you out of the blue or if you checked online directly if...
Nothing for end of September as well.
I was advised by email that my letter and certificate to the council would be despatched today by 2nd class post.

Today was the last day on which I was to expect my invitation letter in the post, according to @baybars1 model. Unfortunately it still hasn't came through yet. Calling HO helpline, it would seem that the second lockdown has taken a toll on certificates printed last month and that the pace hasn't qui...

After reading a number of posts and timelines, I am under the impression that the invitation letter is sent quicker for EU applications than for non-EU.
Is this an impression or would baybars1 have this data in his model so we can compare the two different average times?

Is it only me or there are people in the same situation. Thanks same here, approved since August. Not heard anything yet from the council or the HO....
Am I the only one who's shocked to see that some councils are trying to profit greatly from the lockdown, having suspended public ceremonies and 'offering' only Private ceremonies, or worse, Virtual ceremonies for which they charge up to £200 (!!!) while some others are doing it for free... Home off...
