Today I received my British passport, so that concludes my journey. Start-to-finish was 331 days. No real bumps along the way -- just needed a bit of patience as some steps took a bit longer than anticipated. I suppose COVID and Brexit will have that effect. My final timeline is below. Eligibility C...

When applying for the passport, did you guys send your current home country passport? Yes. The application tells you to. I did mine a month or so ago, and the total time was 25 days, and by far the longest part of that was my documents reaching them. I went with the cheapest tracked method of USPS ...

When applying for the passport, did you guys send your current home country passport? I thought we would have to send off our current passports again but the guidance on the website kind of makes me think I just need to send full colour copies of every page of my current and expired passports. It's...

I received an email last Thursday from the LA consulate to expect an email within 2 weeks to schedule my ceremony via teams. I received that email today and my ceremony is scheduled for tomorrow. So once your certificate gets to the consulate, it seems they are pretty quick and on top of it. Congra...

Oh cool, according to your time line you are just a couple days ahead of me with your approval, so hopefully mine is coming soon. My Consulate is also LA, so here is hoping. Also thanks to Mick for your suggestion, that is really good information to have and I will try it if I don't hear something ...

Has anyone that is in my same time line as me, received an invite from the embassy? My 3 months since approval is coming up in a couple of days, I think cnhartford and BostonBrit are also about the same frame. Just wondering if we are all going to have to email. Nothing on my end yet. Based on the ...

I notified Citizenship Support that my mailing address is changing due to an impending move, and received the following reply. Thought this may be of interest to those of us awaiting our ceremony invitation letters: I have informed the United States - Washington British Embassy Consular Section of y...

Thats good news, congrats. My biometrics was on April 13th, so hopefully I get an email soon. Thanks for keeping us updated, it really helps keep the hope alive. Did you by any chance get a email previously saying that your application would take longer than the anticipated 6 months? I did, about a...

Congratulations!

My letter contained the same language about not asking for updates. I'm 3 months into waiting for the invite.

What part of the US are you in? I'm Atlanta, GA.

Thanks, it was a welcome surprise!

I'm located in Phoenix, AZ.

Today I quite unexpectedly received my formal approval letter, along with the documents (birth certificate, passport, etc.) that were submitted with my application. I expected I would be waiting months, but this is exactly 5 weeks from completing my biometrics. The letter is actually dated 8 May (3 ...

Pleased to report that I've received my biometrics appointment! My timeline to date: Date of application: 11/11/2020 Date funds withdrawn: 11/11/2020 Date of UKVI acknowledgement email: 12/11/2020 Date documents sent: 13/11/2020 Date of receipt by UKVI (per tracking): 26/11/2020 Biometrics Requested...

Thanks for the updates, BostonBrit and cobra2! Still waiting for an appointment but given how closely our timelines overlap, I'm optimistic I'll see something next week.

Not BostonBrit, but I requested a biometrics appointment on Feb 15 and am still waiting for a response. Another poster reported that they received their appointment about a month from requesting it, so I plan to wait until the end of next week before following up. Hey BostonBrit, have you received y...
