My wife's application was approved on 31-03-2016. As per the letter, she must book for citizenship ceremony with local council within 21 days from the date on the letter. Due to some unexpected change in circumstances, she now has to travel abroad next week and will be back mid of June. I heard that the ceremony must be booked within 21 days and must be attended within 90 days from the approval date. We called the council and they said she can travel and call them once she is back to the country in mid of June for booking the citizenship ceremony and that they had made a note of it in their system. She had called twice today to double check and avoid any misunderstanding and both times council staffs mentioned that she can travel and schedule the ceremony once she is back but not within 21 days as it is way too early for them. Note that our local council conducts the ceremony every Monday.
Does this make sense? Is this against any home office rules? Do you think my wife should get something in writing from the council that she can book the ceremony once she is back mid of June?
Wondering if anyone have been through this situation.
