I have just become British :D Thanks to the forum! Now do I need to inform the tax office, bank,employer or anyone else that I am British? Or it doesn't matter? It is better to inform tax office and employer and if your existing nationality doesn't allow dual nationality then it is best to inform e...

I still haven't receive either the council letter nor the HO letter. HO mentioned that if you don't get the letter by 9th Aug write them another email and they ...

Hi, I'm sorry for delay in response. Thanks to every one who has replied on my query. I have applied through NCS Cambridge. It looks like Home office changed their process and sending two letters for every one irrespective of application how they have received it. Not sure why they take so much tim...
Hi all, Due to the fact that nearest appointment offered is 8-9 weeks and I am absolutely not happy with waiting, I am planning to fly to London and apply at Wandsworth NCS. Yet I have doubts: 1) Do I have to apply to the councils nearby me (at least in the same country such as Scotland for my case...
@Skyiswide. Thank you for this. Are you sure about a single letter is sent out by HO serving both as an approval & invitation letter to attend ceremony? And are you sure about this practice is restricted to applicants applying via NCS? Or is it just a guesswork based on the average application ...
I dont know whether this is correct or not but for sure I can tell you lady over the phonde from council told me home office told her there wont be any citizenship certificate within next two weeks. And she said ho are extremely busy. My approval came recently by my enclosed pre paid special delive...
Hi All, Im not sure how much this is true but there is a rumour going on that the HO IT / Printing equipment has got a major fault in it thats the reason no one has received any approval letters or acknowledgement letters in rhe past 10 days... I called the NCS office I applied from and the lady al...

Hi Anantahari I received the approval letter and no invitation letter.I contacted the council - asked for citizenship ceremony officer. The officer suggested the time for public ceremony and private ceremony. Based on my choice they sent an invitation letter. This is how it worked for me. So a good...
Just wanted some help from the members. When I received back my documents, the evenelope was damaged by Royal Mail so all my documents were exposed. Now I checked if all my documents were returned and only one was missing: the Life in the UK Test Certificate. Do the HO return this certificate as we...
No harm in contacting the Council where the ceremony will take place. Without invitation letter council wont allow take oath. On the day of ceremony council needs to see invitation letter. Yes of course they might book ceremony if council received ccertificate but wont allow to take oath unless per...
