Invitation Letters to the 4th of July Ceremony

[Yana31]

Hi, has anyone else received invitation letters in the last few days? I still haven’t received mine, and I have sent the money almost a month ago. I have been told by email that I will be included in the 4th of July ceremony, but until I actually have the letter in hand, it’s hard to believe.

I am getting frustrated now a tad bit, as I am not sure.

Yeah, got mine this morning for 10:50.
Since they're sending out invitations to the second ceremony at the moment, I'd say you have nothing to worry about

[Yana31]

How many ceremonies are in a day? And is it alphabetically arranged I presume, and if you don’t mind me asking what letter does your surname start with? That way I know how long ive to wait or what letter they are at, at least.

i sent the money on 9th of may, but havent got any invitation letter yet ..

[Yana31]

ah ok so I am not the only one then. i have sent all the details as per their request on the 9th of May 2014. and I know they have received it.

i guess i have no patience anymore

My surname starts with K.
They actually sent me a letter on Friday saying they were going to skip me for this ceremony because of a misunderstanding. I emailed them and got the invitation this morning
As far as I know there are 3 ceremonies.

It takes around 4 weeks from when the payment was send. I send mine on 30th of April and received invite on 28th of May. I say you will receive invite this fri or at the start of next week nothing to worry

[Yana31]

Thank you I was not aware that it takes 4 weeks for the payment to be processed in order to get an invitation letter.
Thank you once again for clearing that for me, at least now I know not to worry anymore, as I was in a panic.

So I finally got my invitation for the ceremony, it will be at 15.35 on the 4th of July 2014. Happy Days. It exactly a month to the day I have sent them the money
