Thanks for the update. When did you get your ceremony invitation letter? To my understanding, the HO didn't send any new invitations since March.josh06 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 18, 2020 4:13 pmHI everyone!
Good news for today!!!
I have received a phone call from my council and they are starting the private ceremony next week. I was booked for Monday.
Unfortunately the group ceremony is suspended so if you want to do it quicker just pay the fees for private one.
My Local council is in Borough London of Newham.
I got my invitation letter since March so the 3 month period has been expired. The lady that I spoke to check my actual certificate from HO and said it expired too but shouldn't be a problem as they extend it.
Anyone awaiting for ceremony just give your local council a call. She told me If I want a free group ceremony its gonna be in 6 months time. D:
JUST A QUICK UPDATE, I HAD MY CITIZENSHIP CEREMONY THIS MORNING! FINALLY A BRITISH CITIZEN NOW
I GOT MY CERTIFICATE A GOLD COIN AS A BRITISH CITIZEN! SO HAPPY FINALLY OVER.
I PAID £105 FOR PRIVATE CEREMONY IN MY LOCAL COUNCIL (LONDON BOROUGH OF NEWHAM).
@ MENEKI REGARDS TO YOUR QUESTION, WHEN I SPOKED TO THE COUNCIL LADY SHE MENTIONED THAT IF I WANT THE GROUP CEREMONY IT'S GONNA BE IN 6 MONTHS TIME BEFORE THE GROUP WILL BE RESUME BECAUSE OF SOCIAL DISTANCING ETC. I BOOKED MINE STRAIGHT AWAY. WHEN I SAW THE LIST IT'S AROUND 10 PEOPLE I THINK EVERY HALF AN HOUR ( I AM THE FIRST ONE ) DAILY CEREMONY.
ALL THE BEST FOR THOSE WHO ARE WAITING - CALL YOUR LOCAL COUNCIL INSTEAD OF EMAILING THEM.
THANKS!
